Pump station service
Pump stations are used to pump fluids from one place to another, such as sewerage or a public water supply. To keep them in good working order, we recommend regular inspections and maintenance.
The problem with sewage pumping stations is that they're prone to a build-up of non-biological matter, such as fats, grease and oils. This build-up can prevent float-switches from operating correctly and enable foreign objects, such as towels and rags, to enter the pumps.

Useful information on pump stations
Here are some frequently asked questions about why the maintenance of sewage pump stations:
What is a pump station?
A sewage system is made up of a network of pipes that carry sewage from home and businesses to the main sewers. In low-lying areas where the main sewer sits on higher ground than the domestic sewage pipes, the sewage needs to be transported to the main sewer in a different way. This is where a sewage pumping station is used. It moves sewage from one place to another when gravity can't be relied on. They are often used in rural areas where they carry the sewage from a village to another location, and also in urban areas where low lying land may prevent the flow via gravity.
Why is it important to service your pump station?
Sewage can be a corrosive environment in which mechanical equipment operates. It is therefore vital that customers with pumps or pumping stations maintain their systems to ensure that they work efficiently. Regular services can also help as follows:
-
Avoid unnecessary breakdowns
Failure to maintain the pumps within a pumping station could cause backing up of the drains, damage to the property and the inability to use the facilities within the property.
-
Prevent unpleasant smells
A blockage in your system could lead to nasty smells. Not pleasant for anyone!
-
Reduce running costs
Ensure your system continues to work efficiently and reduce your running costs.
-
Prolong life
It is a big investment so you want to make sure it is in good working order for as long as possible. A regular service will help prevent unexpected problems from arising and extend the life expectancy of your system.
How often should you service your pump station?
Every system is different and it will depend on your site conditions but we generally recommend you have your stage pumping station serviced every 1 to 2 years.
