If a pumping station fails, it can cause widespread detrimental issues for your home or your business.

Additionally, contamination can occur, resulting in potential prosecution which would inevitably damage reputations and reduce future credibility.

The constant monitoring, servicing and maintenance of a pumping station is crucial. For all domestic or commercial and industrial buildings where a pumping station is operational, routine maintenance and regular testing of your sewage and effluent pumping station, submersible pump and associated pumping equipment is vital to ensure continued efficient performance and greater life expectancy of pumping equipment.

FAQ’s

What is a pumping station?

Pumping stations move wastewater from one location to another when gravity can’t do the job. A pumping station is the ideal solution for low-lying properties that require connection to mains drainage, they are installed to take care of all water, sewage and effluent flowing from the property and pump them in to a nearby sewer network.

How often should a pumping station be serviced?

Domestic pumping stations require a minimum of one service and maintenance visit a year. However, higher usage pumping stations, for example within commercial and industrial sectors, require more frequent servicing and maintenance arrangements.

What does a servicing and maintenance visit include?

Regular or routine servicing and maintenance visits from our engineers will include the following (subject to your servicing plan and type of application):

• Check pump(s) for any debris or damage – unblocking where required

• Remove and clean level control floats / ultrasonic head

• Check operation of Non Return Valve(s)

• Check condition of pipework and internals for deficiencies or faults

• Check condition of the control panel and carryout any necessary testing

• Check and test alarm

• Comprehensive report following the visit to keep clients fully informed of general condition of the system and any further areas that may require attention
