In-Shop & Mobile Pump Repair — When Downtime Is Not an Option

What separates quick fixes from long-lasting repairs? Experience, grit, and willingness to get your hands dirty. That’s the kind of repair work we do.

Fall is one of the busiest times of year for our technicians — and for good reason. As temperatures cool, the demand on sewage lift stations , pressure systems , and sump pumps increases. Leaves, sludge, and debris can build up faster, and by winter, freezing conditions make access and repair much more difficult. That’s why Pump-Tech Plumbing & Repair Ltd. recommends scheduling preventive maintenance in the fall to keep your system running all winter long. Common Autumn Problems in Manitoba Systems Increased Debris Load – Falling leaves and organic matter can clog wet wells and screens , forcing pumps to work harder. Cold-Weather Startups – Electric motors and float switches become sluggish or fail if not serviced before freezing weather hits. Ground Movement – Freeze-thaw cycles can shift underground piping, causing leaks or alignment problems in force mains and pressure systems . Power Outages – Early winter storms often trigger outages that can stop lift stations, causing backups or alarm failures. Seasonal Maintenance You Should Schedule Now Clean and inspect your lift station wet well Test float switches and alarms Check and lubricate pump motors and seals Inspect and flush pressure lines and valves Verify backup systems and power supply By getting this work done before winter, you prevent emergency callouts when the ground is frozen and access is limited.

If your property relies on a sewage system , chances are you have a lift station working quietly behind the scenes. These systems are crucial for moving wastewater from lower elevations—like basements, holding tanks, or remote buildings—up to your main septic or municipal line . At Pump-Tech Plumbing & Repair Ltd. , we specialize in maintaining, repairing, and upgrading lift stations across Winnipeg, Selkirk, Springfield, Lockport, Tache, Brokenhead , and surrounding Manitoba areas. Regular maintenance isn’t just a good idea—it’s the key to preventing costly and messy emergencies. What Does a Lift Station Do? A lift station (also called a sewage pump station) collects wastewater in an underground basin and uses one or more sewage pumps to lift it to a higher point in your system. These are often found in: Commercial buildings and industrial sites Municipal and community wastewater systems Multi-home or cottage developments Without regular maintenance, solids and grease can build up, floats can stick, and pumps can burn out—leading to backups, odours, or system failure. Key Parts of a Lift Station to Maintain Pumps and Motors – Need to be checked for wear, overheating, or clogging. Floats and Sensors – Must move freely to properly activate the pumps. Check Valves – Prevent wastewater from flowing back into the basin. Control Panel and Alarms – Ensure reliable operation and emergency alerts. Wet Well Cleaning – Keeps buildup and odours under control while extending pump life. How Often Should a Lift Station Be Serviced? We recommend quarterly inspections for commercial systems and biannual maintenance for private or residential stations. Each service should include: Pump testing and electrical checks Cleaning of the wet well and float switches Inspection of check valves, seals, and piping Removal of grease or debris System performance review Regular service ensures your pumps and pressure systems run efficiently—and helps you avoid expensive replacements.
