Municipal

A sanitary sewer collection system begins with the smaller pipes found in commercial, residential and industrial buildings that connect the toilets, sinks, showers, and drains. These smaller pipes are connected to underground larger pipes which send the flow of wastewater out of the building and connect to a larger system. This series of pipes carries wastewater to a septic system or large plant of wastewater treatment.

Along the way, as the pipes get larger - there may be mechanical pumps which are used to pump the wastewater from lower elevations to higher elevations. The pumps, also known as pump stations, ejector pits, or lift stations are located inside or outside of buildings; these are owned by privately or publicly. Together, these components make up the sanitary sewer system infrastructure. As with any infrastructure - routine maintenance is required to keep the system in good working order.

Russell Reid supplies the equipment and expertise to pump, clean and maintain sanitary sewer systems and pump stations. Our combination sewer Jet Vac's and High Pressure Sewer Jetting trucks are designed for pumping and cleaning residual waste from sewer infrastructure. In some cases routine maintenance may require transportation and disposal or OSHA approved confined space entry for difficult to access system components.
