Why Pump Station Repairs Matter

Your pump station protects your property from wastewater backing up and flooding. When a station fails, the consequences can be immediate — rising levels, odours, damage to landscaping or buildings, and potential environmental pollution.

Clearmasters provide professional pump station repairs for foul, surface water, and trade effluent systems. Our engineers diagnose faults quickly, carry specialist parts on our vehicles, and restore safe operation with minimal disruption.

Typical Problems We Repair

  • Failed or seized pumps causing high level alarms or flooding risk.
  • Float switch, level sensor, or alarm faults leading to incorrect activation.
  • Non-return valve failures causing backflow or reduced efficiency.
  • Control panel issues including tripped breakers or damaged relays.
  • Blocked discharge lines or pipework leaks impacting flow rates.

We aim to complete repairs on the first visit wherever possible, and if a replacement is needed we’ll supply and install the correct parts without delay.

Signs Your Pump Station Needs Repair

  • Alarm activation (high level, pump fault, or power fault) that keeps recurring.
  • Pumps running constantly or struggling to clear the chamber.
  • Unusual noises or vibrations from pumps or pipework.
  • Slow drainage, odours, or bubbling in internal appliances.
  • Visible leaks, corrosion, or damage to chambers, covers, or panels.

If you suspect a fault, call us straight away. Acting early prevents flooding and avoids bigger repair costs later.

Common Pump Station Repair Issues We Resolve

Pump station failures can cause disruption, flooding, and environmental hazards if left unmanaged. Our experienced engineers diagnose and repair a wide range of issues quickly and safely to restore full system performance.

  • Pump failure or burnout – caused by overloading, misuse, or lack of maintenance.
  • Blocked or damaged impellers – restricting flow and causing system shutdown.
  • Float switch or sensor faults – leading to incorrect pump operation or tank overflows.
  • Pipework and valve issues – leaks, corrosion, or faulty non-return valves.
  • Electrical faults – control panel errors, wiring failures, and alarm malfunctions.
  • Ragging and debris build-up – wipes, grease, and solids causing reduced flow or complete blockage.

With rapid response times and specialist equipment, Clearmasters ensure repairs are completed efficiently to minimise downtime and prevent further damage.

What’s Involved in a Pump Station Repair?

Every repair is site-specific, but our approach usually follows these steps:

Emergency Assessment

We arrive quickly, assess the alarm or failure, and confirm whether the issue is mechanical, electrical, or blockage related.

Safe Isolation

Electrical systems are isolated and made safe before we enter chambers or handle pumps and controls.

Fault Diagnosis

We test pumps, floats, control panels, and valves to identify the exact cause of the failure.

Repair or Replace Parts

Failed components are repaired or replaced using manufacturer-approved parts carried by our engineers.

Testing & Commissioning

We test the station under load, confirm correct float levels, and verify full pumping performance.

Report & Advice

You receive a clear repair summary with recommendations to prevent future breakdowns.
