If your lift station fails (e.g., force main break, power outage, or pump failure) wastewater will collect in the lift station wet well and backup into the collection system. This could result in sewer backups into homes or cause wastewater to overflow from the lift station to the surrounding environment. Wastewater lift stations are susceptible to clogs from fats, oils, and grease generated by restaurants and businesses, as well as disposable towels from households and multi-unit residential buildings.
A wastewater lift stations can be a source of bad odors, and the gas from the collected sewage is also highly corrosive and can damage the wet well structure, the piping, and pumps over time.
To prevent sanitary sewer overflows (SSO), your lift station should be cleaned annually to remove grease, oils, sediment and other debris. We have found all sorts of things in lift stations, such as soap bars and clothes. Hydro Clear Services has a large fleet including many combination sewer cleaner/vacuum trucks. SSOs are reportable to the regulatory agency on incident report forms, so it’s important for commercial facilities, such as warehouses, to have their station inspected and maintained by professionals.
