Pump station servicing

We service, repair and maintain domestic and commercial pumping stations for sewage, foul water and surface water. An annual service is recommended for a domestic pumping station, and busier stations may need one more often.

More information

You get a full service report after each visit, and most spare parts are carried on the engineer’s vehicle.

  • The pumps are lifted from the pump well and, if water is available on site, the pumps, pipes, valves and ancillary equipment are washed down before further checks
  • Check the impeller turns freely, remove any debris trapped in the pump casing and check for wear
  • Renew the 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 are free from blockages and working correctly
  • Check the pump control liquid level switches and examine their cables for damage
  • Check the pump control panel (if fitted), making sure electrical connections are tight and free from corrosion
  • Check the high level alarm system (if fitted)
  • Re-check the pumps and test the systems on ‘Manual’ and ‘Auto’
  • Check the running currents of the pumps are within the manufacturer’s recommended limits
  • Make sure the electrical overload switches are at the correct settings and the panel is in full working order
  • Leave the equipment on ‘Auto’ and advise the site contact of any faults or additional work not covered by the service

If we have not serviced your pumping station before, our engineers may need to carry out an initial inspection and service (chargeable) before we can offer an ongoing service plan.

The visit lets us assess the condition of the chamber, pipework, pumping equipment and any connected controls or alarms, and we will advise you of any remedial work needed afterwards.

Some servicing and maintenance needs the pumping station emptied so that our engineers can complete their work, and that needs a tanker. We can arrange tankering in most of the areas we cover.

We hold a SMAS Worksafe certificate, which means we meet the SSIP core criteria recognised by the HSE and other SSIP accreditation schemes.

We have also shown compliance with the CHAS standards, in line with the SSIP core criteria and UK health and safety legislation, and are accredited to the requirements of the CDM Regulations 2015.
