What is a Lift Station?
A lift station is an integral component of a septic system designed to pump wastewater or sewage from a lower to higher elevation when the gradient of the area does not allow for natural flow. Equipped with pumps, valves, and electronic control systems, lift stations ensure that your septic system functions smoothly and efficiently. They can be crucial in areas where topography or land use issues make traditional gravity-based systems impractical.
Uses of Lift Stations
Lift stations primarily find use in municipal wastewater management systems and septic systems of residential, commercial, or industrial properties located in hilly or uneven terrain. They enable the movement of wastewater from lower to higher ground, leading to the wastewater treatment plant or the drain field. This makes them an essential component in maintaining sanitation and hygiene in the community.
Lift Station Repair
With our professional repair services, we ensure that your lift station operates seamlessly around the clock. Our team is skilled in identifying issues ranging from pump malfunctions, switch issues to blockages, and power outages. After thorough inspection and diagnosis, we provide effective repair solutions adhering to South Carolina's regulatory standards.
Common Lift Station Problems We Can Repair
Just like any other system, lift stations can encounter issues affecting their operation. Here are a few common ones:
- Pump Failure: Pump failure is a common problem that can cause the lift station to stop functioning. This can be due to wear and tear, mechanical issues, or electrical problems.
- Float Switch Issues: Float switches signal the pump to start and stop. If they malfunction, they can cause the pump to run continuously or not at all, resulting in possible overflow or pump damage.
- Power Outages: During power outages, lift stations without backup power can cease operation, leading to a potential backup of wastewater.
- Blockages: Accumulation of debris, fats, oils, or grease can lead to blockages, restricting the flow of wastewater.
Lift Station Replacement
When repair is no longer a viable option, or if your lift station is nearing the end of its service life, we at Prime Septic provide expert replacement services. We understand the requirements of your property and replace your old lift station with a new, efficient model that meets all DHEC guidelines.
South Carolina Regulations on Lift Stations
South Carolina has specific rules and regulations concerning the installation, maintenance, and operation of lift stations. Prime Septic adheres to these guidelines to ensure the safety and longevity of your septic system. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) stipulates that lift stations must be inspected and serviced at regular intervals by qualified professionals to ensure optimal operation and compliance with environmental standards.

What Do Our Clients Say About Us...?
Our septic system had filled with water from all the rain we've had recently, I called to see if they could come out and pump the septic before it overflowed and sure enough I was told they could be out same day before noon. The pumping took less than an hour, the customer service was excellent, and I will be using them again for my plumbing/septic needs.
Had my septic system pumped out. Prime did a fantastic job. They were on time and the whole process took less that an hour. Would definitely recommend them and will use them again!!
We had our septic tank back up. It was as scary and frustrating as all unexpected home mishaps are. We called one company who couldn't come out for almost 30 hours. Another that came out promptly for an estimate, but the estimate was $887. And then we called Prime. They told us exactly what it would cost over the phone ($425 for us), and scheduled us for first thing the next morning (about 18 hours from the call). They called us before 9am to let us know they were on their way. They dug up the tank and pumped it and recovered it and were done in about 1 hour. They answered all of our questions about our system and were so sweet and professional. We will 100% be using them in the future (definitely not waiting as long next time) and recommending them to everyone!
Great service! I called on Monday and they were at my house to pump our septic tank on Tuesday. The guys that came to my house were quick and efficient. Will most definitely be recommending them to friends and family.
They set me an appointment and showed up fast to pump out my system and repair ,was very respectful and considerate and very knowledgeable about the work performed ,and when he left you could not tell they had been there cause they put everything back and picked up there was no mess at all . If anyone is having trouble with there septic these are the ones to call I guarantee you will be very impressed as we were.
They were very responsive to come out the next day for a non-emergency pumping. Zach had to dig about 3-1/2" down to reach the access port and did it with minimal disturbance to my yard. He noted some issues and made great recommendations to improve performance and was very upfront with pricing and how necessary they were.
We are new to country living and didn’t realize we needed our septic tank pumped. Called them around 2pm and they said they could come the next morning. Showed up on time and did an amazing job. Very professional. I read reviews before calling a company. This was the first one I called and will definitely be using them in the future.
We have never had a septic system before so when we needed routine maintenance we needed to rely on reviews from others to get a recommendation for service. Prime Septic was great. When we called to get some information about pumping a septic tank the owner answered the call and educated me on the process. He was able to get us on the schedule with next day service. The serviceman-Zachary arrived on time, was very professional, respected our property and answered any further questions we had. Prime Septic was very reasonably priced compared to others places we called. We would highly recommend this company , and they will be the first place we will call if we have any future issues. Support the small businesses , because your a name not just a job .
Prime was awesome, I appreciate that of the 4 businesses I called, they answered, they scheduled with me to pump and inspect our septic system, they were on time, they were fast, they were thorough and since this is my first septic system, they were willing to answer questions. The price was right and Prime was awesome in making me feel good about the service as well as the services I'll need going forward. Call them, they're good.
Great company to work with! I will use them again next time I need my septic tank pumped. Thanks so much!
Prime Septic has great customer service! We called to schedule having our septic tank pumped in the afternoon and Levi and Cody arrived when they said they would the next morning. They we’re quick, efficient and professional and I strongly recommend their services!
