Pump Station Servicing
Automated Environmental Systems provide preventative pump station servicing, emergency call-outs and remedial work for domestic and commercial sewage, foul and surface water pumping stations, please call us for details of our servicing, including all inclusive plans
Pumping stations should be serviced regularly to ensure that all pumps, pipework, valves and control equipment are kept in full working order.
On a domestic pumping station an annual service is recommended, on higher usage pumping stations a more frequent service arrangement may be advisable, all our engineers are confined space trained and our vehicles carry all necessary Health and Safety equipment to ensure we are suitably equipped for every job.

Initial inspection
When we receive an enquiry about a pumping station we have not previously serviced, we may require our engineers to carry out an initial inspection and service (chargeable) before we will offer an ongoing service plan.
The initial visit allows us to assess the current condition of the chamber, pipework and pumping equipment and any connected controls or alarms, we will advise of any remedial work that needs to be carried out following our visit.
We can supply ductile iron valves and pipework for all types of pumping stations and applications across the UK
Tankering Service
Depending on the nature of the servicing or maintenance required, it maybe necessary to empty your pumping station so that our engineers can complete their work, in this instance a tanker will be required. We can arrange tankering in most of the areas we cover, as listed opposite.

What does a pump station service include?
- The pump(s) will be removed from the pump well and if water is available on site the pump, pipes, valves and ancillary equipment will be washed down before further checks are carried out
- Check that the pump impeller is rotating freely and remove any debris which may be trapped within the pump casing and check for wear
- Renew mechanical seal chamber oil (if required)
- Clean and examine the electrical power cable to the pump motor
- Check and record test readings on all electrical equipment
- Check that any isolating or non-return valves in the installation are free from blockages and are operating correctly
- Check operation of pump control liquid level switches and examine cables for damage
- Check the operation of the pump control panel (if fitted) and ensure that all electrical connections are tight and free from corrosion
- Check operation of high level alarm system (if fitted)
- Re-check the pump(s) and test the systems are running on ‘Manual’ & ‘Auto’ operation
- Check the running currents of the pump(s), ensuring that they are within the manufacturers recommended limits
- Ensure that electrical overload switches are at correct settings and the panel is in full working order
- Leave equipment on ‘Auto’ control and advise site contact of any faults or additional work requirements not covered in the service
