When gravity isn’t enough
Lift station & pump service in Cape Coral
Pumps, floats, alarms, and check valves for the lots gravity can’t reach — serviced, replaced, and put on a maintenance schedule before the alarm ever sounds.
What we service
- Effluent and grinder pump replacement
- Float switch testing and replacement
- High-water alarm diagnosis and repair
- Check valve and discharge line service
- Control panel and timer inspection
The alarm is not the emergency — yet
A high-water alarm means the pump has stopped moving water and the tank is filling. You usually have hours, not minutes: stop running water, skip laundry and showers, and call. The sooner a pump is swapped, the less chance of a backup inside the home.
Why pumps fail here
- Float switches fouled by grease and solids
- Pumps worn out by sandy grit in the effluent
- Tripped breakers and failed control panels after storms
- Check valves stuck open, cycling the pump to death
Cheaper than the emergency
An annual maintenance visit — floats exercised, pump amperage checked, alarm tested, station pumped down — catches nearly every failure while it is still a repair, not a sewage backup.
Common questions
My high-water alarm is going off. What do I do?
Stop using water in the house and call. The alarm means the pump is not moving water — most stations have reserve capacity, but every flush and shower uses it up.
How often should a lift station be serviced?
Plan on a professional check about once a year. Stations with heavy use or older pumps may need more frequent visits.
