Lift Station & Pump Station Care in Chicago
Bacteria and enzyme programs for lift stations that reduce H₂S, protect pumps, and keep municipalities and private stations out of alarm. Built for high-rise chutes in Streeterville, Fulton Market's restaurant boom, and a huge municipal pump-station network.
Why Chicago properties need this
Chicago's high-rise density in Streeterville and the Loop meets Fulton Market's restaurant boom — grease and residential waste share more lines here than most markets acknowledge. Programs get sized to actual load, not floor count.

Lift Station Care in Chicago — FAQ
How much can H₂S actually drop?
Typical wet wells go from double-digit ppm readings to under 2 ppm within 60 days on a right-sized bio-dosing program. Baseline and follow-up readings are documented on every service report.
Does the program work on private lift stations too?
Yes — the chemistry doesn't care whether the station is public or private. What changes is documentation: municipal stations get public-works-formatted reports, private stations get property-team-formatted reports.
Will bio-dosing damage pumps or floats?
No. It's the corrosive H₂S generated by an untreated wet well that damages equipment. The dosing reduces H₂S, which extends equipment life.
Do you service Chicago on a regular schedule?
Yes — nationwide shipping + regional service partners. We route Chicago weekly for existing accounts and offer same-week site walks for new properties across The Loop, River North, West Loop and the rest of Chicago.
What types of Chicago properties do you work with for lift station care?
The lift station care program in Chicago is running in high-rise residential, fulton market restaurants, hotels, and across the property types most common to the market. If your property type isn't listed, most programs adapt without any changes to scope.
