Emergency Pump Station Repair 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.
When a pump station fault becomes urgent
A pump station breakdown becomes urgent when sewage starts backing up, the high level alarm is active, the chamber level is rising, pumps are not running, electrics are tripping, or the site has no effective foul drainage service. In those situations the priority is to reduce risk and identify the failure quickly.
Emergency information to send
Useful information includes the site postcode, whether the alarm is sounding, whether the chamber is full, pump make and model if known, control panel photos, alarm photos, photos of the chamber cover and a short description of what happened before the fault.
- Site postcode and access details
- Alarm status and panel photo
- Pump make/model if visible
- Whether there is backing up or flooding
- Any tanker requirement
- Any known service history
After the immediate repair
Once the site is operational again, we can advise whether the system needs a planned service, pump replacement, float replacement, valve repair, panel upgrade or wider refurbishment to reduce the chance of a repeat callout.
