Our Lift Station Cleaning Process
Clean Basins follows a clear process for lift station cleaning. The goal is to remove accumulated material, restore working volume, and leave the station in better operating condition.
- Plan access and site safety and confirm work requirements at the station.
- Inspect the wet well to determine the amount and type of buildup.
- Remove settled solids using professional vacuum equipment.
- Remove floatables and grease when present to improve operating conditions.
- Wash down surfaces to clear residue and reduce odors.
- Clean around critical components such as pump intakes and floats when accessible.
- Confirm conditions and document any concerns we observe.
- Haul and dispose of collected material properly and provide documentation when requested.
For customers with multiple stations across the area, we can create a route-based plan. We can also align service timing with seasonal flow changes to keep stations more stable.

Equipment Designed for Wastewater Solids and Sludge
Lift station maintenance involves heavy, waterlogged material. Solids and grit can compact at the bottom of the wet well. Grease and floatables can coat walls and components. Clean Basins uses vactor/vacuum truck cleaning and hydrovac-assisted cleaning to remove sludge, grit, and debris efficiently while keeping the work controlled.
Vactor/vacuum truck cleaning is effective for pulling dense material from the bottom of the wet well and capturing slurry during wash-down. This helps remove residue instead of leaving it behind. Hydrovac-assisted cleaning can be useful when more precise removal is needed around internal components, tighter access areas, or specific station features.
For facilities, professional equipment supports consistent outcomes and reduces repeat clogging issues after service.
