Commercial Lift Station Services

We Are Austin's Commercial Lift Station Specialists

Although many businesses use traditional sewer pumps to transfer waste into a collection unit, a property's physical location and geography are not always as conducive. In some cases, a lift station is necessary to work precisely as its title suggests: lifting sewage to a higher elevation to reach its ultimate destination of a treatment plant. 

When looking for dependable lift station services in Austin to protect your property, the experts at FCS Mechanical are happy to provide you with the care you need. From installations to repairs to maintenance, we can handle anything having to do with lift stations. Reach out to us now to ask questions about managing your sewage system.

Deciding on a Lift Station Installation for Your Property

When it comes to lift station installations, you can choose between two primary types: submersible lifts and dry wells. Dry wells separate the specialized equipment used to pump and control the water from the actual wastewater.

In contrast, single submersible pumps perform this function within the water, requiring less maintenance. Our experts can help you decide which system may be more advantageous at your home.

Why a Lift Station Installation Will Benefit You

A lift station can be so beneficial because it can cut down the high costs involved in building a traditional gravity flow system. Gravity flow devices require a lot of invasive excavation, known as "trench shoring," to add sewer pipes. Since these pipes must be dug at least 10 feet beneath the ground, they can be expensive and time-consuming to install.

Clients also have to pay for costly restorations of their destroyed commercial property yards. You can avoid all of this hassle simply by talking to our technicians about the process of adding a more cost-efficient and effective system of a lift station.

Detecting a Problem in Your Lift Station

Even though these systems are built to withstand a lot of pressure and use over the years, your lift station will naturally experience wear and tear over time. Looking out for these developing problems means you can nip them in the bud before they occur.

It may be time to schedule troubleshooting with experts if you ever happen to notice the following:

• Slowed drainage of your unit, often due to a clog of insoluble objects somewhere within the system
• Buzzing sounds during operation, meaning valves are worn down or there is an obstacle blocking the flow
• A foul odor like that of rotting sewage rising from the system

No matter the issue, our techs at FCS Mechanical are ready to do whatever it takes to get your lift station operating well again. Call us today or contact our team online to learn why professional lift station services are critical.
