Lift station cleaning keeps a sewage pump station doing its one job: lifting wastewater up to the sewer main. South Florida is flat, so gravity can only carry sewage so far before a pump lifts it. Homes and buildings below the main rely on a pump station. Inside is a wet well, one or two submersible pumps, float switches and a control panel. Grease, wipes and sand build up over time. Floats get coated and stick, pumps clog, and the alarm light comes on. We pump out the wet well with our heavy-duty vacuum truck and wash down the walls and floats. We do this 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
24-7 Pump Out is based in Pembroke Pines and serves Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties. We clean the small grinder pump stations some homes have in the yard. We also clean the larger wet wells that serve HOAs, condo communities, plazas and restaurants. A restaurant with a station usually needs grease trap cleaning too, and we do both. If the line into the station runs slow, our hydro jetting service clears it. One Team, Start to Finish. No dispatch runaround and no random crews. The same trusted team handles your job from the first call through completion. Call (954) 350-2046 for a free quote and a real arrival window.

A lift station is a pump station for sewage. Wastewater from your building flows into an underground tank called the wet well. Float switches hang in the well and rise with the water. When the water reaches the start float, a submersible pump kicks on and pushes sewage up to the sewer main. A control panel above ground runs the pumps and the high-level alarm. South Florida is flat with a high water table, so deep gravity sewers are costly and pump stations are common. Pompano Beach alone maintains 81 city lift stations and counts about 85 private ones.
If you own the station, cleaning it is on you. That covers homes that sit below the street main and homes with a grinder pump in the yard. HOA and condo communities, strip plazas, restaurants and warehouses often own one too. Without cleaning, grease floats to the top and hardens into a cap. Wipes and rags wrap around the floats and jam the pump. Sand and grit settle on the floor and wear on the pump. A float coated in grease hangs up and never tells the pump to start. Then the alarm light comes on, and a backup or overflow follows.
No single rule fits every station, so read this as general guidance. Utility maintenance guides call for pumping out and cleaning the wet well at least twice a year. The same guides wash floats about four times a year. Miami-Dade County sets a floor for private stations under its operating permit program. Those stations are to be inspected at least quarterly, with floating and settled solids removed from the wet well. In Broward County, Pompano Beach requires a repair and maintenance plan as part of a private station's operating license. Ask your utility what applies to you.
Some stations need cleaning more often. Restaurant and plaza stations take in kitchen grease every day, so the grease cap builds fastest there. Apartment and condo stations catch a steady stream of wipes. Miami-Dade's utility counts wipes as rags, right next to paper towels and hygiene products. In the May-to-October wet season, a high water table and heavy storms push extra water into sewers. Pumps run longer hours. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. A power outage stops the pumps, and a well already half full of sludge overflows sooner. A clean well before the storm buys you time.
The red light or horn on the control panel is the high-level alarm. A float near the top of the well trips it when sewage rises higher than it should. The usual causes are a stuck float, a clogged pump, a power outage, or a well packed with sludge. First, cut water use. Hold off on laundry, showers and flushing where you can. A button may silence the horn, but the light stays on until the level drops. After a power outage, give the pump a few minutes to pump the well down. If the light stays on, call us.
On an alarm call, we pump the well down with the heavy-duty vacuum truck. Then we wash the grease and rags off the floats and walls. A float that swings free can tell the pump to start again. If a pump or float needs a repair, we tell you what we found. We are based in Pembroke Pines and reach from Boca Raton down to Homestead.

(954) 350-2046From the first call to the closed lid, here is exactly how it goes.
Tell us what's going on — routine pump-out, backed-up drains, a trap that missed its schedule. Day or night, the phone gets answered by the team that does the work, not a machine that promises a callback.
Standard jobs get priced right on the phone; bigger work gets a free look first. Either way you hear the number and an honest arrival window before the truck moves — and both hold.
The truck shows up inside the window and the work gets done completely — tank emptied to the floor, trap fully pumped, install built to code. No skimmed tanks, no shortcuts under the lid.
Before we button up, you hear what we saw: the system's real condition, when to service it next, and anything worth watching. Honest reads only — we'd rather earn the next call than invent this one.
