High-level alarm
Urgent assessment where levels continue to rise or storage is limited.
Emergency engineering support for pump-station failures, high-level alarms, sewage backup, flooding risk, total loss of pumping and critical control faults.
The immediate priority is to reduce risk, protect the site and establish whether temporary measures are needed before permanent repair.
Emergency attendance may involve pump and control checks, level assessment, blockage investigation, temporary pumping or tankering coordination, pump removal and repair planning.
Access to chambers can be hazardous. Do not enter or lean into a wet well, and do not bypass electrical protection or alarms.
Urgent assessment where levels continue to rise or storage is limited.
Check failed, tripping, blocked or non-running duty/standby pumps.
Prioritise containment, reduced inflow and temporary measures.
Investigate power, panel, level device, alarm and changeover faults.
Send the station drawings, pump and panel information, fault history or proposed duty for a technical review.
When calling, state the site address, liquid type, current level, alarm condition, number of pumps, whether power is present, access restrictions and any immediate overflow or flooding.
Where safe, reduce avoidable incoming water use and keep people away from open chambers and electrical equipment. Do not silence alarms without recording the condition.
Emergency attendance aims to stabilise the situation and identify the next action. Permanent repair, parts, tankering and replacement equipment may require a separate agreed scope.
Provide the site, alarm and immediate risk information.
Reduce overflow, flooding and operational risk.
Check pumps, controls, levels and discharge.
Repair, replace or plan the permanent solution.
Whether you’re planning a new installation, replacing an existing pump or need expert advice, our engineers are here to help.

The technical scope is based on the hydraulic duty, equipment, site constraints, operational risk and agreed delivery boundary.
Provide the site, alarm and immediate risk information.
Reduce overflow, flooding and operational risk.
Check pumps, controls, levels and discharge.
Repair, replace or plan the permanent solution.
Pumps, controls, valves, access and discharge equipment are considered together.
Any civil, drainage, electrical-supply or tankering boundary is stated clearly in the quotation.
We supply, install and repair leading pump manufacturers including Grundfos, Flygt, Xylem, Wilo, Lowara, DAB, HOMA, HCP, Faggiolati, Tsurumi.
Common questions about scope, technical information and delivery.
Examples include rising sewage levels, total loss of pumping, flooding risk, critical high-level alarms and failures affecting essential services.
Give the full site address, liquid type, alarm state, chamber level, pump indications, access information and immediate risk.
No, not unless you are trained, authorised and following the site safe system of work. Wet wells can contain hazardous atmospheres and fall risks.
It may be coordinated where required and available, but the need and scope are assessed from the site conditions.
The emergency attendance covers the agreed response and diagnosis. Parts, workshop repairs and replacement equipment are normally confirmed separately.
Send the site and station information for review.
