Sally Love assisting customers with application of lift station cost

Are you struggling to find a clear cost estimate for a custom pump or lift station system? You’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.

At Triple D Pump, we understand how overwhelming it can be to start planning a lift station or pump system. With so many variables and technical requirements, knowing where to begin can feel like a challenge. That’s why we’re here to walk you through the estimating process step by step, from your first call to system startup.

What Does a Lift Station Cost?

The cost of a lift station can vary widely based on system size, complexity, and site conditions. Lift stations can range anywhere from $2,000 to $400,000, depending on capacity, depth, pump type, and installation needs.

On average, most systems fall between $2,000 and $50,000—especially for small- to mid-sized residential, commercial, or light municipal applications.

If your system requires advanced controls, multiple pumps, deep wet wells, or heavy-duty industrial specs, costs will scale accordingly.
