Atlanta Lift Station Pump Services

Lift Station Pump Services

At Hometown Plumbing and Septic, we provide expert installation, repair, and maintenance services for lift station pumps. Lift station pumps are essential for moving wastewater from lower elevations to higher elevations, particularly in areas where gravity alone cannot handle the flow. These systems are commonly used in residential, commercial, and municipal settings to ensure efficient wastewater management. Whether you need a new pump installed or repairs for your current system, our experienced technicians are here to help.

What Are Lift Station Pumps?

A lift station pump is designed to transport wastewater from lower levels, such as basements or low-lying areas, to higher levels where it can flow by gravity to a septic system, sewage system, or treatment plant. Lift stations play a critical role in ensuring the smooth operation of wastewater systems, especially in areas where terrain or elevation changes prevent gravity from moving wastewater efficiently.

Lift stations typically consist of:

A collection well or wet well – Where wastewater is temporarily stored.
Pump(s) – Used to lift and transport the wastewater to a higher point.
Control system – Monitors the water level and activates the pump when necessary.
Alarm system – Alerts the property owner or municipality if there is a malfunction or overflow.

Types of Lift Station Pumps We Install

At Hometown Plumbing and Septic, we install a variety of lift station pumps to suit different properties and system requirements. The most common types of pumps include:

Submersible Pumps – These pumps are located underwater in the wet well and are highly efficient for large volumes of wastewater. Submersible pumps are ideal for residential, commercial, and municipal applications.
Centrifugal Pumps – These pumps are highly reliable and commonly used in large-scale operations, such as municipal wastewater systems. Centrifugal pumps are designed for high flow rates and are capable of handling large volumes of water and waste.
Grinder Pumps – These pumps are often used in lift stations for properties where solid waste needs to be broken down before being transported. Grinder pumps grind solid waste into smaller particles, preventing clogs and ensuring smooth operation.

Lift Station Pump Installation

Proper lift station pump installation is essential for ensuring the system functions effectively and efficiently. Our experienced technicians assess your property’s specific needs, including the volume of wastewater and the elevation change, to determine the best pump and configuration for your lift station.

We handle all aspects of the installation, including:

System Design – We design the lift station pump system based on your property’s layout and wastewater needs.
Pump Selection – We recommend the appropriate pump based on the flow rate, pressure, and application requirements.
Excavation and Installation – Our team installs the lift station pump and ensures all components, including the control system and alarm system, are set up correctly.
Final Testing – Once installed, we thoroughly test the lift station to ensure it operates efficiently and effectively.

Lift Station Pump Repair Services

Lift station pumps are subject to wear and tear over time, especially if they are handling large volumes of wastewater. When a pump malfunctions, it can lead to system backups, overflows, or even flooding. At Hometown Plumbing and Septic, we offer fast and reliable lift station pump repairs to prevent further damage and restore your system’s functionality.

Some common lift station pump issues we repair include:

Pump failure – Whether due to electrical issues or mechanical breakdowns, we diagnose and repair pump failures quickly.
Clogs – Solid waste or debris can clog the pump, leading to inefficient operation or system backup.
Float switch malfunction – The float switch controls when the pump activates, and if it fails, the pump may not turn on or off as needed.
Electrical issues – Problems with the wiring or control system can cause the lift station to stop working.

If you notice slow drainage, odors, or alarms coming from your lift station, it’s important to schedule repairs as soon as possible to prevent further problems.
