Expert Lift Station Maintenance, Pumping & Repair

Critical Sewage Management for Commercial Properties & Distribution Centers.

Lift stations (sewage ejector systems) are the unsung heroes of commercial waste infrastructure. When they fail, the result is catastrophic: sewage backups, facility shutdowns, and environmental fines.

Merritt Plumbing specializes in the inspection, cleaning, pumping, and repair of commercial lift stations. We currently service major distribution centers and commercial properties across San Antonio, ensuring their waste systems run without interruption.

  • Our Preventative Maintenance (PM) Protocol: We don’t just “check it.” Our Spring/Fall PM service includes a comprehensive scope:

    Pumping & Cleaning: We pump out the entire lift station pit, removing sludge, solids, and debris to prevent clogging.
  • Component Inspection: We inspect the pit walls, wiring, float switches, trash baskets, and rail systems for corrosion or damage.
  • Pump Health Check: We clean the pumps, check impellers for damage, and test motors.
  • Electrical Testing: We verify volts and amps are within manufacturer tolerances to catch motor failure before it happens.

Repair & Emergency Services:

  • 24/7 Alarm Response: If your “High Water” alarm goes off, we mobilize immediately.
  • Pump Replacement: Diagnosis and replacement of submersible pumps (Grinder, Ejector, Effluent).
  • Control Panels: Troubleshooting floats, alternators, and electrical control issues.

Why Trust Merritt? We understand that a down lift station can close your business. We offer priority response times and detailed reporting for Property Managers.
