What Is Holding Tank & Lift Station Service?
{"heading": "What Is Holding Tank & Lift Station Service?", "body": "Holding tanks collect sewage from below-grade fixtures until an ejector pump or lift station pumps it up to the sewer main. These systems are found in homes with basement bathrooms, commercial buildings with below-grade restrooms, and properties where the building sits lower than the sewer connection. Service includes pump repair and replacement, holding tank cleaning, float switch calibration, check valve replacement, and alarm system testing."}

Our Holding Tank & Lift Station Service Process
System diagnosis
We identify the failure - pump motor, float switch, check valve, control panel, or electrical issue. For emergency calls, we prioritize getting a working pump running immediately.
Pump repair or replacement
We repair the existing pump when possible or replace with a new unit sized correctly for the system demand. We stock common residential and commercial models for same-day replacement.
Tank service and cleaning
We pump the holding tank, remove accumulated solids, inspect the tank condition, and clean inlet and discharge pipes. For scheduled maintenance, we test all components.
System verification and maintenance plan
After repair, we test the complete system - pump cycling, float switch activation, check valve operation, and alarm function. We recommend a maintenance schedule based on system usage.
