Frequently Asked Question: Lift Station Installation

  • A lift station is a pumping system that moves wastewater from lower to higher elevations when gravity flow isn’t possible.

  • A sump pump removes groundwater from basements or crawl spaces to prevent flooding, while a lift station moves sewage or wastewater from lower elevations up to the main sewer or septic system.

  • Most residential installations take 1–3 days, depending on complexity and permits.

  • Yes, we coordinate with your county and ensure compliance with NC wastewater codes.

  • With proper maintenance, most lift stations last 15–25 years before major replacement is needed.

  • Yes, we handle both residential and commercial lift station projects.

  • Lift stations consist of pumps, pipes, valves, and control systems. When wastewater levels in a collection pit or sump reach a certain point, float switches activate the pumps. The pumps then push the wastewater through pipes to a higher elevation or treatment facility.

  • Lift stations commonly use submersible pumps or centrifugal pumps. Submersible pumps are placed underwater within the sump or pit, while centrifugal pumps use rotating impellers to move wastewater.

  • Some lift stations handle both sewage and stormwater, while others are sewage-only. In the Charlotte and North Charlotte area, design depends on local codes, system capacity, and site needs.
