Maintenance & Service
Regular maintenance is essential to keeping your lift station and sewage pumps functioning efficiently while preventing costly breakdowns. A well-maintained system ensures reliable wastewater management, reduces the risk of blockages, and extends the lifespan of your equipment.
Our experienced technicians provide comprehensive maintenance and service, including routine inspections, pump cleanings, motor and float switch checks, and troubleshooting for any system malfunctions. We understand the unique requirements of different lift station setups and are equipped to handle everything from minor adjustments to major repairs.
Whether you need preventative maintenance to avoid future issues or immediate service to resolve an existing problem, we’re here to help. We prioritize fast, reliable service to keep your system running smoothly, minimizing downtime and ensuring optimal performance.
If your sewage pump or lift station requires service, don’t wait—contact us today. Our team is ready to provide expert support and tailored solutions to keep your wastewater system in peak condition.
When to service your pumps
We recommend scheduling yearly maintenance for both ejector and grinder systems to ensure their optimal performance. During these maintenance checks, we assess several key components: we measure amps, inspect floats and switches, and evaluate the overall operation of the pump and control panel. Additionally, we perform a thorough cleaning of your basin to keep everything in good working order.
While a well-maintained sewage pump system should generally function without frequent service, our experience shows that grinders and ejectors often require annual upkeep due to regular wear and tear.
Certain practices and items can necessitate more frequent maintenance. If you dispose of wipes, coffee grounds, peelings, condoms, feminine products, petroleum, or harsh chemicals down the drain, your system may need extra attention. Similarly, if you leave town for extended periods or rent out your home, additional maintenance may be required.
Tip: Before leaving for an extended trip, consider filling up a bathtub and draining it to flush your sewage pump station. This simple step helps clear any residue and keeps the system running smoothly while you’re away.

I was having trouble with getting proper water supply to my ice maker. Two companies were unable to fix it. Macho had re-plumber my house when I first moved in, so I called Alfredo out to see it he could figure it out and in 10 minutes he had it sorted. -

Macho dudes and dudettes were incredible. Very seldom do I work with such professional, excellent communicators. They swooped in when other people were pushing us aside due to our time requirements and they provided a seamless, happy experience that could have gone in many directions. Thank you all so much! I’ll keep ya on my speed dial for any possible oh sh*t moments. -
“Our septic system backed up and we knew we needed some repairs to get it back in working order. I called Macho Contracting and Alfredo, the owner, came out the same day to take a look. Immediately, Alfredo diagnosed the problem and took the time to explain”- Adam R.

Our septic system backed up and we knew we needed some repairs to get it back in working order. I called Macho Contracting and Alfredo, the owner, came out the same day to take a look. Immediately, Alfredo diagnosed the problem and took the time to explain how the whole system works and why he felt this was the problem.- Adam R.
He was very kind to answer all of my questions in detail. He also took the time to assess the access into our yard and determined we could not get a drill rig in to bore a new seep pit.
He recommended that we change the system to a leach field for better operation.
I called around and got more opinions and quotes, however nobody seemed as knowledgable or trustworthy as Alfredo.
Alfredo and his team got us scheduled for the job within a few days and performed the work. His team was amazing, they are so nice and courteous. They dealt with me asking questions everyday and truly cared about making me comfortable with what they were doing. On a side note, Joel is an amazing equipment operator, he took great care when trenching to miss all of my irrigation pipes.
I will be using Alfredo and Macho Contracting for all of my plumbing needs moving forward, in fact we already have them scheduled to do an ADEQ certification on a house we are selling as Alfredo and Joel are certified NAWT/ADEQ Inspectors.
Thank you Alfredo and team, you have restored my faith in contractors! -

I had an issue with the lift station for my septic system and the company that I previously used stopped doing residential repairs. After many calls to other companies with no luck at all, I finally happened upon Macho Contracting. Alfredo Zapata returned my call within an hour and had the problem diagnosed and fixed the same day. His professionalism and expertise was a welcome change!
