Commercial Lift Stations & Sump Pump Services

When gravity cannot move your wastewater, pumps must — and when they stop, everything below grade floods. We service, repair, and replace commercial lift stations, sewage ejectors, and sump systems across Fort Worth, with the alarms and maintenance programs that keep pump failures from becoming basement disasters.

Below-Grade Protection

Pumps That Run When You Need Them

Restaurants with basement prep areas, parking garages, elevator pits, below-grade restrooms, and any facility sitting lower than the city sewer all depend on pumps that most owners never see — until a float switch sticks, an impeller clogs with what should never have gone down the drain, or a fifteen-year-old motor finally seizes during a Saturday rush. Sewage on a basement floor is a closure, a biohazard cleanup, and an insurance claim, all from a part that costs a few hundred dollars to maintain.

We service the full range of commercial pump systems: duplex sewage lift stations, grinder pumps, sump and stormwater pumps, elevator pit pumps with their oil-detection requirements, and condensate systems. Service means more than swapping pumps — we rebuild basins, replace rails and check valves, repair and test float trees and control panels, and install high-water alarms with remote notification so a failing pump calls you before the flood does. Every system can run on a scheduled maintenance program with documented quarterly or semi-annual inspections.

Pump Services We Provide

Every component of a commercial pump system — pumps, basins, controls, alarms, and the piping that serves them.

Sewage Lift Station Service

Repair, rebuild, and replacement of simplex and duplex lift stations, including rails, basins, and discharge piping.

Grinder Pump Systems

Grinder pumps for facilities discharging to pressurized or distant sewer mains, sized for commercial solids loads.

Sump & Stormwater Pumps

Foundation, areaway, and stormwater sump systems that keep below-grade space dry through Texas storm seasons.

Elevator Pit Pumps

Code-compliant elevator sump systems with oil-sensing controls that satisfy both plumbing and elevator inspectors.

Float Switches & Controls

Float tree replacement, control panel repair, and alternation relay service — the small parts behind most pump failures.

High-Water Alarms & Monitoring

Audible, visual, and remote-notification alarms that turn a 2 AM pump failure into a phone call instead of a flood.

Check Valve & Piping Repair

Failed check valves cause short-cycling and burnout; we replace valves, unions, and discharge piping in place.

Preventative Pump Maintenance

Scheduled pull-and-inspect service: amp draw readings, float testing, basin cleaning, and a written condition report.

24/7 Pump Failure Response

Emergency dispatch with bypass pumping capability when a station fails with the basin rising.

Failure Warning Signs

Signs Your Pump System Is About to Fail

Pumps almost never die silently. They short-cycle, hum, trip, and smell first — and each symptom is cheaper to fix than the flood that follows it.

Short-Cycling

A pump starting every few minutes signals a stuck float, failed check valve, or undersized basin — and is burning out the motor.

Humming Without Pumping

A motor that hums but moves no water has a jammed impeller or failed capacitor. Shut it off and call before it cooks.

Tripped Breakers

Repeated electrical trips mean the motor is drawing locked-rotor current. The next trip may be the last.

Sewage Odors Near the Basin

Failed seals or a cracked basin lid leak gas long before they leak sewage.

Pump Age Over 7-10 Years

Commercial sewage pumps have finite lives. Past year seven, replacement on your schedule beats failure on the pump's.

Alarms Never Tested

An alarm that has not been tested in years is a decoration. Quarterly float and alarm tests are part of every maintenance visit.

The FW Commercial Difference

Why Businesses Choose Us

Many plumbers will swap a pump. Diagnosing why it failed — controls, check valve, basin sizing, or what your tenants flush — is what keeps it from failing again.

Pump Specialists

We stock common commercial pumps, floats, and check valves, and our crews rebuild stations in place rather than just quoting replacements.

Commercial-Only

No residential work. Our crews, fleet, and parts inventory are built exclusively for commercial-scale plumbing systems.

Master Plumber Licensed

Every job is performed under an active, verified Texas Master Plumber License with $2M+ insurance coverage.

Upfront Written Pricing

Camera-verified diagnosis and a written estimate before work begins. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices.

Pump System FAQ

Common Questions About Lift Stations & Pumps

How often should a commercial lift station be serviced?
Quarterly inspection is the standard for sewage lift stations serving restaurants, multi-tenant buildings, and any facility where failure means closure; lighter-duty sump systems can run semi-annually. A proper service visit includes amp draw readings against nameplate, float and alarm function tests, check valve verification, basin cleaning, and a written condition report. The reading trends are the early warning system — a motor drawing rising amps is telling you its remaining life.
What is the difference between a sump pump, a sewage ejector, and a grinder pump?
A sump pump moves clear or storm water — groundwater, condensate, areaway drainage — and cannot handle solids. A sewage ejector moves wastewater containing solids up to roughly 2 inches, which covers below-grade restrooms and most building sewage. A grinder pump macerates solids into slurry and pumps at higher pressure, used where discharge runs are long, lifted high, or feed a pressurized main. Installing the wrong type is the root cause of a large share of the chronic pump problems we inherit.
Why does our lift station keep failing on the same pump?
Repeat failures on one pump usually trace to something upstream of the pump itself: rags, wipes, and grease from tenants jamming the impeller; a failed check valve forcing the pump to re-pump the same column of water; a waterlogged or mis-set float; or a basin too small for the inflow, forcing constant cycling. We diagnose the system, not just the pump — and where tenant behavior is the cause, we document it so property managers can act on it.
Do elevator pits really need special pumps?
Yes. Elevator pit sumps are governed by both plumbing code and ASME A17.1 elevator requirements: the pump must move a specified flow, and because hydraulic elevators can leak oil into the pit, the discharge must include oil detection or separation so hydraulic fluid is not pumped into the storm or sanitary system. Elevator inspectors check this. We install and service compliant systems and coordinate directly with your elevator contractor.
Can you add remote monitoring to an existing pump system?
In almost every case, yes. High-water alarms with cellular or Wi-Fi notification retrofit onto existing basins and panels, alerting your facility team — and optionally our dispatch — the moment water rises above the working level. For unattended buildings, weekend-heavy operations, and any below-grade space with assets in it, remote alarms are the highest-value upgrade per dollar in the entire pump system.
