Pumping Station Repair by Alton Pumps
PUMP STATION REPAIR

Find the Cause of Pump Station Failure Before Replacing Parts

A station alarm does not automatically mean the pump has failed. Controls, level devices, valves, pipework, incoming flow and the rising main can create similar symptoms.

Our engineers assess the operating sequence and wider system before recommending repair, overhaul, control work or replacement.

Suitable equipment can be removed for workshop assessment where site repair is not practical.

Electrical diagnosis

Check supply, protection, panel, contactors, alarms and controls.

Hydraulic diagnosis

Check pumps, valves, pipework, air locking and discharge restrictions.

Mechanical repair

Assess blockages, seals, bearings, impellers and guide equipment.

Recommissioning

Test the repaired station through its complete operating sequence.

SYSTEM DESIGN AND DELIVERY

A Complete Pump Station
Approach

Send the station drawings, pump and panel information, fault history or proposed duty for a technical review.

Useful fault information includes alarm state, pump run indication, sound, chamber level, recent changes, power interruptions and whether one or both pumps are affected.

Repeated failures can indicate an underlying duty, solids, control or rising-main issue. Replacing the same component without finding the cause may only provide a temporary result.

Where sewage levels or flooding create an immediate risk, use the emergency pump-station service rather than a routine repair enquiry.

Completed pump station repair · London

Guide rail brackets secured and new lifting chains installed

A confined-space engineering team repaired loose guide rail brackets and installed new lifting chains in a foul-water pump chamber before checking the adjoining storm-water chamber.

Recorded outcome: Both chambers were left working in automatic mode, and the planned installation was marked completed in full.

PUMPING STATION REPAIR FAQ

Pumping Station Repair Questions

Common questions about scope, technical information and delivery.

Why is my pump station alarm going off? +

Possible causes include high liquid level, pump failure, blocked pumps, failed floats or sensors, panel faults, valve problems, power loss or restricted discharge.

Can you repair the control panel? +

We can diagnose panel, protection, contactor, relay, alarm and control faults, subject to the panel condition and safe access.

Can pumps be repaired rather than replaced? +

Sometimes. Repair viability depends on condition, model, parts, duty and the cost relative to a suitable replacement.

What should I do if sewage is backing up? +

Reduce incoming use where safe, avoid opening chambers, and contact the emergency service because there may be an immediate overflow or flooding risk.

Will you test both pumps after a repair? +

Where accessible and within scope, the station should be tested through duty, standby, level and alarm functions.
