Lift Station Installation

Stormwater Professionals Group designs, installs, and commissions lift stations for both stormwater and wastewater systems across Houston, Harris County, and the Austin area. We install new stormwater pump stations that move runoff and drainage, and new sanitary lift stations that move wastewater. From new private systems to full replacements of failing stations, we self-perform the work, so the same team that installs your station can also maintain it. We also install and service lift stations in the Austin and San Antonio areas.

Stormwater and wastewater lift stations

Lift stations serve two different jobs, and we install both. Stormwater pump stations move stormwater and drainage where gravity flow is not possible. Sanitary lift stations move wastewater from low-lying buildings and sites up to the collection main. We size and build each type for its specific duty.

Installation and replacement services

  • New simplex and duplex lift station installation for commercial and private systems.
  • Full station replacement, including pumps, wet well, valves, rails, and control panel.
  • Submersible pump sizing and selection, including Flygt Concertor systems.
  • Control panels, floats and transducers, alarms, and SCADA-ready wiring.
  • Startup, testing, and commissioning with operator handoff.

Control panels we build in-house

One vendor for the full lifecycle

Because we also handle lift station repair and maintenance, your station is supported from installation through its full service life, with no handoff between an installer and a separate maintenance contractor.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to install a lift station?

The cost depends on the type of station, the pumps and controls it needs, the depth of the wet well, and the site conditions. Because we design and build each station to its specific duty, we quote every project individually. Send us your project details for an estimate.

What is the difference between a simplex and a duplex lift station?

A simplex station uses a single pump. A duplex station uses two pumps that alternate and back each other up, so the station keeps running if one pump needs service. Duplex stations are common where a failure would be costly or where flows are higher.

What is the difference between a stormwater pump station and a sanitary lift station?

A stormwater pump station moves runoff and drainage where gravity flow is not possible. A sanitary lift station moves wastewater from low-lying buildings and sites up to the collection main. They are sized and built for different duties, and we install both.

How long does lift station installation take?

Timelines depend on the size of the station, lead times on pumps and control panels, and site access. We provide a schedule with your proposal and coordinate startup and commissioning so the station is ready when the site needs it.

Do you maintain the lift stations you install?

Yes. Because we also handle lift station repair and maintenance, the same team that installs your station can support it for its full service life, with no handoff to a separate contractor.
