How we repair a sewage pump
Make it safe
We check the chamber level and the electrics first, so the system cannot flood or trip again while we work.
Find the cause
We check the floats, non-return valves and control panel. We also look for blockages, worn impellers and water in the motor or cable.
Repair or replace
We explain what we found and the options. You get a written quote before any work starts. If a repair is not worth it, we fit a like-for-like or better-matched pump.
Test and report
The pumps are tested in automatic mode, the alarm is checked, and you get a report with photos for your records.
Repair or replace?
It depends on the pump's age and condition. Are parts still available, and is it the right size for the job? Some faults make replacement the better choice. These include water in the motor, a cracked casing or a motor drawing too much current.
We work on all makes, including Grundfos, Wilo, KSB, Flygt, Xylem, Sulzer, Lowara, Ebara, DAB, Pedrollo, Tsurumi and Zoeller. We are independent, so we recommend the pump that suits your system, not one brand.

Sewage pump repair: common questions
What should I do if my sewage pump alarm goes off?
Use as little water as you can: avoid flushing, showers, baths, dishwashers and washing machines. Do not keep resetting the pump and do not climb into the chamber. Check whether the power to the pump or control panel has tripped, then call 01420 403000.
Can you repair any make of sewage pump?
Yes. We work on all makes. We are not tied to any manufacturer, so we can repair or replace whatever is installed.
Is it better to repair or replace a sewage pump?
It depends on the age and condition of the pump, parts availability and whether it suits the job. We find the fault first, explain the options and give you a written quote before any work starts.
Why does my sewage pump keep tripping?
Common causes are a blockage around the impeller or a worn motor. Water in the motor or cable, or a control-panel fault, can also cause it. An engineer can test the pump and panel to find which.
