Ejector Pit Odor Treatment in Staten Island
Below-grade ejector pits are the #1 hidden source of building-wide sewer odor. We treat the pit, the vent, and the discharge — not just the smell in the lobby. Built for assisted-living, retail centers, and municipal lift stations across the borough.
Why Staten Island properties need this
Staten Island's mix of assisted-living campuses, retail corridors, and municipal lift stations means the odor problems here trend toward corridor and outdoor complaints rather than tower stacks. Wet wells and pump stations carry the load.

Ejector Pit Treatment in Staten Island — FAQ
Why is the ejector pit the hidden culprit?
Because most buildings don't know it's there. Ejector pits sit below the sewer line, collect everything from the lower-level fixtures, and generate H₂S continuously — but they usually aren't on any maintenance calendar until we find them during the audit.
Why does the odor come back after a vac-truck cleanout?
A one-time cleanout removes accumulated solids but doesn't stop the bacterial process that creates the odor. Within days, biofilm re-establishes and H₂S returns. A monthly bio-dosing program keeps the pit from re-generating odor between cleanouts.
Do we need to shut down the pit for service?
No. Dosing and foaming happen with the pit fully operational. There's no downtime.
Do you service Staten Island on a regular schedule?
Yes — next-day site walks. We route Staten Island weekly for existing accounts and offer same-week site walks for new properties across St. George, New Springville, Great Kills and the rest of Staten Island.
