Sewage 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.
Pump station repair starts with the symptom
A high level alarm, a pump tripping electrics, a chamber not emptying, a pump running constantly and a foul smell problem can all have different causes. The repair approach should identify whether the fault sits with the pump, float switches, control panel, non-return valve, isolation valve, pipework, rising main, incoming drainage or power supply.
Common repair items
Pump station repair work can include clearing blocked pumps, replacing failed pumps, renewing floats, repairing control panels, changing non-return valves, replacing guide rails, fixing discharge pipework, testing the rising main and improving alarm arrangements.
- Blocked or jammed sewage pumps
- Failed pump motor or seal faults
- Float switch replacement
- Control panel diagnosis
- Non-return valve and isolation valve problems
- Rising main blockage or air lock investigation
Repair, refurbishment or replacement
The best repair is not always the cheapest immediate fix. Where the chamber is unsafe, pumps are repeatedly failing, controls are obsolete or access is poor, refurbishment or replacement may be more reliable than repeated reactive repairs.
