Pump Types We Service & Install

Lift Stations

Lift stations help move wastewater uphill when gravity flow isn't possible. We handle everything from new installations to preventive maintenance that avoids clogs and failures, plus repairs to pumps, floats, valves, and electrical systems.

LETTS Systems

LETTS (Low-Pressure Pipe) systems are common in parts of South Carolina and demand careful, accurate installation. We offer complete system setups, ongoing maintenance and repairs, and regular inspections to keep everything running smoothly and up to code.

Effluent Pumps

Effluent pumps move treated wastewater from a septic tank to a drain field or dispersal area. We provide proper sizing and installation, routine maintenance to extend pump life, and fast emergency repairs when failures occur.

Well Pumps

Reliable well pumps are crucial for properties using well water. We handle installation of submersible and jet pumps, provide routine service to maintain strong water pressure, and offer repairs or replacements when pumps wear out or fail.

Why Maintenance Matters

Reduces Emergency Callouts

Extends Pump Lifespan

Maintains System Efficiency and Reliability

Neglecting pump maintenance can lead to costly repairs, system downtime, and even property damage.

Don’t Risk Neglecting Your Septic System

Neglecting your septic system can lead to expensive and unpleasant consequences. A clogged or overflowing septic tank can back up into your home or yard, causing unsanitary conditions, foul odors, and potential health hazards. Worse, an overloaded system can cause your leach field to fail, allowing wastewater to contaminate your property or nearby water sources. Regular maintenance is key to avoiding these costly problems and keeping your septic system running smoothly.

Without routine septic pumping and inspections, a septic system can quickly go from functioning quietly in the background to becoming a major headache. Don’t wait for a small issue to turn into an expensive repair — let WeCo Rooter take care of your system, ensuring it operates safely and efficiently for years to come.
