To keep your pump stations and sewage treatment plants running efficiently, regular servicing is essential. At Wessex Drainage, we provide professional pump and plant servicing across Wiltshire and Hampshire in line with manufacturer recommendations.
Why Regular Servicing is Important
Depending on the model, a sewage treatment plant may need replacement filter matrix material, lubrication of moving parts, new belts or simply a thorough clean and inspection. Without regular maintenance, performance can decline and compliance with environmental regulations may be at risk.
Some systems use blower pumps to aerate sewage and support bacterial action. If these fail, treatment may continue but the discharge quality will not meet the required standard. In other cases, a pumped outlet may be needed to lift treated effluent to a soakaway or watercourse. If this pump fails, sewage could overflow from nearby manholes, requiring emergency emptying and replacement.
Pump Chambers
Not all pump chambers are installed with sewage treatment plants. Many are used to pump sewage to mains where gravity drains are unsuitable. These systems also require scheduled servicing to avoid breakdowns and costly repairs.
With new statutory maintenance requirements expected in the near future, regular pump and plant servicing is more important than ever. Our experienced team can ensure your system remains efficient, compliant and reliable.
