Wastewater – Lift Station Pumping

Wastewater Pumping Services

Serving Vancouver WA | Portland OR

Lift stations play a vital role in many industrial or municipal wastewater collection systems. Without them, many collection systems would be unsustainable. To keep the flow of wastewater or sewage uninterrupted, the lift station may need periodic cleaning. Pacific Plumbing and Drain has all the necessary expertise and powerful equipment to effectively perform your lift station pumping.

What is a Lift Station?

Wastewater lift stations are designed to move wastewater from a lower elevation to a higher elevation using pipes. They are particularly used in areas where the elevation doesn’t allow for a natural flow.

Pumping of Wastewater

Wastewater and sewage are stored in a pit and when those substances reach a certain level, a pump is activated which then pumps the sewage out. Lift stations require regular maintenance to ensure they work properly. This maintenance includes wet wells being pumped out to help prevent buildup, floats being cleaned, and controls being inspected.
