Sewage Pump Stations by Alton Pumps

Basement Pump Stations

Basement pump stations are used where foul water, grey water or surface water must be lifted from below the gravity drainage level.

Basement Pump Stations
Practical answer

Basement Pump Stations support is handled around the actual pump station arrangement: chamber type, pumped material, pump duty, controls, alarms, valves, rising main, access, ground conditions and whether the work is repair, servicing, refurbishment, replacement or new installation.

Basement foul and grey water pumping

Basement bathrooms, utility areas, plant rooms and welfare areas may need foul or grey water pumping. The system needs suitable pumps, non-return valves, isolation valves, controls and alarm protection.

Surface water and sump pumping

Basements can also need surface water or groundwater sump pumping. This is different from foul sewage pumping and may need clean water pumps, redundancy, alarm systems and consideration of flood risk.

Access and maintenance

Basement systems should be installed where they can be serviced safely. Poor access, hidden chambers and missing alarms can turn a small system into an expensive emergency.
