Commonly referred to as the most important part of your drainage network, a sewage pump station must be serviced to ensure they stay in full working order. As with any mechanical system, a failure to maintain a pumping station will more than likely lead to future breakdowns.
Pump stations are facilities used to collect and pump liquids such as surface water, wastewater and sewage away from areas where gravity drainage simply is not possible with the help of a sewage pump. This typically occurs in locations such as underground car parks, basements and blocks of flats.
Here at Elliott Environmental Drainage Ltd, we are proud to provide exceptional commercial and domestic pumping station servicing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even offering emergency call-outs.

Why Should a Pump Station Be Serviced?
A sewage pumping station plays an important role in locations where waste from a building cannot reach the main sewers by gravity alone. They are specifically designed to handle and transport effluent waste.
When waste builds up and reaches a certain point in the system, the sewage pump will lift it through a pipe system.
However, should this pump stop working, the whole process will fail, potentially causing floods, blockages and the entire system to break down.
Ensuring that your pump station is serviced regularly will not only reduce the likelihood of expensive breakdowns, but it will also extend the pump’s life expectancy, as well as increasing its efficiency, in turn saving you money in running costs and call outs.
Pump station cleaning is a key part in ensuring that your pump works well, and at Elliot environmental we have all the necessary vehicles and tools to assist you as efficiently as possible in London and surrounding areas.
How Often Should a Pump Station Be Serviced?
You should ensure that your pump station is serviced by our team at least every 6 months. This will ensure that there are no blockages or other problems developing with the system.
It’s important to note that you should always choose a trained expert to service your sewage pumping station. This is because a pump, as with all forms of electro-mechanical equipment, requires careful, calculated maintenance to ensure that it keeps working to its fullest potential for many years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewage Pumping Stations
What is a Pumping Station?
Sewage pumping stations which are also known as drainage stations is a large underground tank used for liquid waste removal from a development when there is no natural way of doing it. Usually it is removed by gravitational means, however a station uses pumps to draw the liquid waste which is then separated under pressure.

How Much Space Does a Pumping Station Take Up?
Pumping stations can vary depending on the size of the building as well as how far the waste water needs to be pumped. As a general guide, for a home with 1-3 bedrooms or for maximum 5 people, you should look at tanks with 750 litre tank volume. If you need help calculating where your new pump should be positioned, get in touch with our knowledgeable team who will be happy to assist you.
Do Pumping Stations Smell?
If they are positioned correctly, are the right size for the building, and are emptied regularly before the liquid becomes stagnant, no foul smell should be present from your underground wastewater system. If you can smell unpleasant odours from the station, ensure to get in touch with your local drainage professionals so they can assist you. When the pumps are installed, they are usually accompanied by suitable covers and ventilation so the unpleasant smell seeping out is kept to the minimum.
Are Pumping Stations Noisy?
Generally speaking, they are not noisy at all as the pumps are placed under the liquid level ensuring that they can function properly and silently. If you hear noise from your station, there may be an issue which needs to be addressed to ensure that it can function properly.
Are Pumping Stations Safe?
Yes, they are a very safe choice, and to ensure that accidents are kept to the minimum, they are installed with a locked cover which only the operatives can access when necessary. As long as the correct size is appropriately installed, they are a very safe solution for liquid waste. If the pump stops working, it could result in environmental pollution, and this can be avoided by regular maintenance of the equipment.
