Given that pump station cleaning is one of our areas of expertise as a sewage removal company, we would like to shed some light on what sewage pumping stations do and why they are so important.

What is a Sewage Pump Station?

The simplest way to explain a sewage pump station is that it’s a device that collects waste from your Portsmouth property and pumps it into the mains sewer system. A pump is needed to transfer the waste horizontally or uphill in cases when gravity is working against it or won’t help it reach the sewer system below the ground.

How Does a Sewage Pump Station Work?

Most pumping stations you come across are comprised of a wet well (or wet tank), float switches and one or two pumps. The whole system is managed by a control panel located near the wet well.

The sewage produced by the building flows into the wet well. As the level of sewage rises, it activates the float switches that will be set at a particular level. Once this level has been reached, the pump will push the liquid out of the wet well and into the mains sewer line.

What is Pump Station Cleaning?

As a professional sewage removal company, pump station cleaning is one of our specialist services, along with cesspit emptying, gully emptying, grease trap emptying and clearing emergency blocked drains. Just like these other services, pump stations require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure they continue to function as normal. This helps you avoid unwanted sewage build-ups and all the sanitary problems that could come with them. We use high pressure jetting and other methods to prevent residual sewage build-ups and ensure your pumping station is in top working condition.
