A lift station is only as reliable as its wet well. Grease floats to the top and hardens into a cap, sand and grit settle on the floor, and wipes and rags wrap around pumps and floats until the station alarms or burns out a motor. Express Drain & Sewer Cleaning pumps out and cleans wet wells with vacuum trucks across Hollywood, Broward and Miami-Dade. We are open 24 hours, hold Florida license CFC019202 and work out of 5801 Mayo St in Hollywood.
What wet well cleaning includes
Every cleaning is a full pump-out, not a skim off the top. Our crew sets up a vacuum truck at the hatch and works the well from the surface down to the floor. When we leave, the well is empty, the walls are clean and you have a record of what came out and what condition the equipment is in.
- Vacuum truck pump-out of the wet well all the way down to the floor.
- Grease cap and floating scum broken up and removed.
- Rags, wipes, sand and grit pulled out and hauled away.
- Walls, guide rails and floats washed down with high-pressure water.
- Pump and float condition noted in a written report you keep on file.
- All waste disposed of at a licensed disposal facility.
Who we clean wet wells for
Any property that moves sewage through a lift station has a wet well that needs regular cleaning. We handle one-time cleanings and recurring service contracts, and we schedule around low-flow hours so residents, guests and patients are not disrupted. Our customers include:
- HOAs and condo associations.
- Apartment complexes and large residential buildings.
- Shopping plazas and retail centers.
- Restaurants and commercial kitchens.
- Hotels and resorts.
- Hospitals and medical facilities.
- Industrial sites and warehouses.
- Municipal and private utility pump stations.
24/7 emergency pump-outs
A lift station alarm, a tripped high-water float, a sewage backup or an overflow at the station cannot wait until Monday. Call (954) 763-2520 any time, day or night. We send a vacuum truck, pump down the well and get the station running again so your residents, tenants or customers can use their plumbing. If we find a failed pump, a stuck float or a damaged check valve, we tell you on site and quote that repair separately before any work starts.
Call (954) 763-2520 — 24/7How often should a wet well be cleaned?
It depends on how much grease, wipes and flow reach the station. Many stations are cleaned quarterly or twice a year. Stations fed by restaurants and shopping plazas build grease faster and need cleaning more often. Light-duty residential stations can go longer, and we recommend a schedule after the first visit based on what we pull out. Book a cleaning before hurricane season starts on June 1, so the station goes into storm season empty of grease and debris with floats that work. Owners should also confirm local permit requirements — for example, Miami-Dade County requires operating permits for private pump stations, and clean, documented maintenance supports that record. Our written reports give you the dates, the volume removed and the equipment notes inspectors and insurers ask for.
