When your lift station or sewage pump alarm goes off, you need fast answers and a clear plan—not guesswork. Our Lift Station Diagnostic Service is designed to quickly find the cause of the issue and help protect your home or business from backups and damage.
Creech’s provides diagnostic services for residential, commercial, and complex lift stations in Wilson and surrounding areas, helping protect homes, businesses, and facilities from costly sewage backups.
What Is a Lift Station?
A lift station (sometimes called a sewage pump station or grinder pump system) is a pump system that moves wastewater from your home to a higher elevation or to the main sewer/septic system when gravity alone can’t do the job.
Most residential lift station systems include:
A wet well (tank or basin where wastewater collects)
A sewage or grinder pump
Floats or level sensors
A control panel and alarm system
When any of these parts fail or get out of balance, the alarm may sound—or worse, you may eventually see backups or slow drains inside the home.
Signs You May Need a Lift Station Diagnostic
You may need a diagnostic service if you notice any of the following:
Lift station or septic alarm sounding
Alarm light on or flashing
Alarm won’t reset, or you had to shut off the breaker to silence it
Wet or soggy areas near the lift station
Gurgling sounds or slow drains in the home
Sewage odors around the tank or in the house
If your alarm is going off, it’s important to limit water use until the system has been checked to help avoid overflows or backups.

Our Lift Station Diagnostic Service – What’s Included
Our Lift Station Diagnostic is focused on finding the cause of the problem and giving you a clear plan to fix it.
During a diagnostic visit, your technician may:
Inspect the control panel and wiring for power, loose connections, or visible damage
Check float switches or level controls for proper operation and positioning
Verify the pump will start and run when called for by the controls (as conditions safely allow)
Verify alarm function and attempt a safe reset if appropriate
Look for signs of high water, blockages, or mechanical failure in the wet well
Explain findings and recommend next steps and pricing before any repairs
The goal of this visit is to determine what’s wrong, why it happened, and what it will take to fix it, so you can make an informed decision.
