If your property sits at a lower elevation than the main sewer line, you rely on a lift station to move wastewater uphill and away from your building. When the pump stops working or the alarm starts sounding, you need someone who can diagnose the problem quickly and get your system back online. Allied Water Services installs, repairs, and maintains lift stations so wastewater flows reliably without backing up into your property.

Lift station service includes pump replacement, electrical troubleshooting, alarm system repair, and control panel testing. If you notice unusual sounds from the basin, slow drainage, or a constantly running pump, those are signs the system needs attention. Regular maintenance prevents emergency failures and keeps odors from forming around the station.

If your lift station is showing signs of wear or your alarm has activated, reach out to schedule a service call.

What to Expect When You Book

When you schedule lift station service, the technician will start by checking the pump operation, float switches, and control panel wiring. If the alarm is active, they'll test the circuit to confirm whether the issue is electrical or mechanical. You'll know within the first visit whether the pump needs replacement or if a simpler repair will restore function.

After the work is complete, your system will cycle properly and wastewater will move out of the basin without delays or backups. Allied Water Services handles both emergency repairs and routine maintenance to keep your lift station running without interruption. Most pump replacements are completed in a single visit.

The service also includes cleaning debris from the basin if needed and verifying that the discharge line is clear. If your property has multiple fixtures draining into the lift station, the technician will confirm that the pump capacity matches the demand. This service does not include septic tank pumping or repairs to the main sewer line beyond the discharge point.

Lift station service covers a range of situations depending on the age and condition of your system, so it helps to know what to expect before scheduling.

What causes a lift station pump to fail?

Pumps fail due to worn impellers, debris blocking the intake, or electrical issues in the control panel. Regular maintenance reduces the chance of unexpected breakdowns.

How long does a lift station pump last?
Most pumps last between five and ten years depending on usage and how often the system cycles. Properties with high wastewater volume may need earlier replacement.

What does the alarm mean when it goes off?
The alarm indicates the water level in the basin is too high, usually because the pump isn't running. This requires immediate attention to prevent overflow.

Why does my lift station smell?
Odors develop when wastewater sits in the basin too long or when the vent line is blocked. Cleaning the basin and checking ventilation typically resolves the issue.

How often should a lift station be serviced?
Most systems benefit from annual inspections to check the pump, floats, and controls. Properties with heavy use may need service twice a year.

Lift stations are built to handle tough conditions, but they need regular attention to avoid costly repairs. If your system is due for maintenance or you've noticed changes in how it operates, contact us to schedule an inspection.
