Why It Matters

Planned Maintenance for Sewage and Surface Water Pump Stations

A pump station moves sewage or surface water from a lower level to a higher one, usually to reach the sewer or a discharge point. When everything's working, nobody notices it. When it fails, the result can be flooding, sewage escaping into gardens or buildings, and an expensive emergency repair.

Most failures are avoidable. Rags and wipes wrap around pumps, fat builds up in the wet well, float switches stick and valves wear out. Regular planned maintenance finds these problems early, keeps the station running and gives you a record that it's being looked after properly.

What We Maintain

Pump Stations We Look After

Housing Development Pump Stations

Package pump stations serving new-build estates and groups of homes, often looked after by a management company or residents' association.

Commercial and Industrial Sites

Pump stations at business parks, industrial units, hotels, leisure sites and other premises with their own drainage.

Surface Water and Stormwater

Stations that pump rainwater from car parks, basements and low-lying sites, where failure quickly leads to flooding.

Domestic and Rural Pump Stations

Single-property pumping chambers for homes, barn conversions and farms that sit below the sewer or drainage field.

What's Included

What Our Pump Station Maintenance Covers

Every station is different, so we agree the scope with you. A typical planned maintenance visit includes:

  • Inspecting pumps, guide rails, chains and lifting gear
  • Testing pump operation, including duty and standby changeover
  • Checking float switches and level controls
  • Testing high-level alarms and checking they're being received
  • Checking valves, pipework and fittings for wear and leaks
  • Removing rags, fat and debris, with tanker support to clean the wet well
  • Checking control panel indicators and recording run readings
  • A written record of each visit with any recommended work

Why Plan Ahead?

The Benefits of Planned Pump Station Maintenance

Fewer Breakdowns

Most pump station failures start small. Regular visits catch worn parts, blockages and faulty floats before they stop the station.

Lower Long-Term Costs

Planned maintenance costs far less than emergency call-outs, flood clean-ups and replacing a pump that's burnt out.

Records You Can Show

Visit reports give management companies, landlords and facilities teams a clear record that the station is maintained.

Planned, Not Panicked

Work happens at agreed times instead of in the middle of the night when an alarm goes off.

Common Problems

Why Pump Stations Fail

The faults we see most often at pump stations across East Sussex are:

  • Pumps blocked by wipes, rags and sanitary products
  • Fat and grease building up in the wet well
  • Float switches sticking or failing
  • Worn impellers reducing pump performance
  • Non-return valves failing and letting flow back into the station
  • High-level alarms sounding, or not sounding when they should

Nearly all of these can be spotted and fixed during routine maintenance, long before they cause a flood.

Repairs and Call-Outs

Pump Station Repairs and Emergency Call-Outs

When a pump station does fail, we can lift and unblock pumps, replace failed pumps and floats, repair or replace valves and pipework, and bring in a suction tanker to empty the wet well and keep the system moving while the work is done.

Because tankers, pump engineering and mechanical pipework are all handled by our own team, there's no waiting around for a second contractor before the station is back in service.

Maintenance Contracts

Maintenance Contracts for Single Sites and Portfolios

Whether you're responsible for one pump station or several across East Sussex, we can set up a maintenance contract that suits each one. Visit frequency is agreed based on the station, how hard it works and the manufacturer's guidance, and reactive call-outs can be included so you have one number to ring when something goes wrong.

If you're taking over a station from a developer or another contractor, we can start with a condition survey so you know exactly what you're inheriting.

How It Works

How Our Pump Station Maintenance Works

1. Site Visit and Assessment

We inspect the station, record the pumps, controls and condition, and flag anything that needs attention now.

2. Agree a Schedule

We recommend a visit frequency and scope, and agree a plan and price that suits the site.

3. Planned Visits and Reports

Each visit follows the agreed checklist, and you receive a record of what we found and did.

4. Repairs When Needed

Any repairs are quoted and carried out by our team, with call-out cover if something fails between visits.
