As any owner of a sewage pumping station will know, proper maintenance is essential to keep the system running smoothly and to avoid costly, disruptive and unnecessary emergency repairs.
We were recently contacted by a client living in the beautiful private estate of Richings Park in Iver, requesting a full service of their foul water pumping station.
Within just a few days, our friendly and highly experienced engineers were on-site to complete a major service of the dual pump sewage pumping station. The system was restored to peak performance and left looking as clean and reliable as the day it was first commissioned.

Before and After Pictures:
The service was completed by our competent pump engineers during the morning, and as shown above, the pumping station was left in significantly better condition than when we arrived. This reduces the risk of future blockages, improves hydraulic efficiency and extends the lifespan of both pumps inside the station.
Pumping Station De-sludge
On this visit, the client also requested our full de-sludging service. This involved pumping out the entire contents of the wet well and using powerful but safe cleaning agents to remove accumulated fats, oils and grease. In this case, a substantial amount of FOG had built up, making the de-sludge essential for restoring proper operation.
