A tank pump-out is not lift-station work. Property managers and HOA boards on the Treasure Coast should not hire a residential vacuum truck for a community or commercial lift station. Homeowners still see a “lift station” line on a pumping invoice — often $400–$800 or more — when the wet well, pumps, or controls are the actual problem.
Treasure Coast lift-station page
A gravity septic tank sits downhill of the house. Wastewater flows in, solids settle, and a licensed hauler pumps sludge with a vacuum truck. County pages on this site still list those haulers by name and city.
A lift station is a wet well with pumps that push wastewater uphill into a sewer main or a higher tank. Communities, condos, and commercial buildings use them. It has floats, a control panel, and electrical. Emptying liquid from the well is only part of the work, and often not the part that failed.
If the wet well, pumps, or controls are the problem, you need lift-station maintenance, not just a vacuum truck. Electrical — the control panel, pumps, and floats — is a licensed electrician job.
Some lots have both a gravity tank and a pump tank or lift station. The hauler who comes to pump the tank may add a lift-station pump-out as a separate charge. That add-on often runs $400–$800+, sometimes more than the tank itself. Ask before the truck rolls whether that line is a vacuum job on a pump tank, or whether they are offering to service pumps and controls.
The crew that pumps a gravity tank is often not the crew that services a lift station. Electrical is a separate trade. Paying a vacuum truck does not reset a tripped panel or replace a failed float.

These are not residential septic tank pumpers. They are listed here because a lift station is a different job from a tank pump-out. Community and commercial work only on this number.

No. A gravity tank is emptied with a vacuum truck. A lift station is a wet well with pumps, floats, and a control panel. Pumping liquid out of the well is not the same as maintaining those parts.
Some lots have a gravity tank and a pump tank or lift station. Haulers often bill the lift-station pump-out as its own line, commonly $400–$800 or more. Ask before the truck rolls whether that line is a vacuum job or actual station work.
Underground utility and lift-station maintenance is a different trade from septic hauling. Treasure Coast Infrastructure (tcifl.com, (561) 320-1924) handles sanitary sewer and lift-station maintenance from Stuart — community and commercial, not residential tank pumping. Electrical on the station — control panel, pumps, floats — is licensed electrician work; Bismark Electric (bismarkfl.com, (561) 320-1924) is the electrical contractor. Both publish the same public number.
