Sewer Pump Installation, Repairs & Emergency Fault Finding
For urgent failures, we can also respond to sewer pump emergencies to help minimise the risk of overflows, property damage and disruption.
Complete Sewer Pump Services
Sewer and wastewater pump systems need to operate reliably, often with very little warning before a fault becomes an urgent problem.
We can assist with:
- Sewer pump installation
- Sewage pump removal and replacement
- Pump station fault finding
- Pumps that will not start
- Pumps continually tripping or faulting
- High-level alarms
- Failed float switches
- Level control faults
- Electrical faults and damaged cabling
- Pump control panel repairs
- Contactors, overloads and motor protection
- Single and dual-pump systems
- Duty and standby pump controls
- Pump alarms and monitoring
- Control panel upgrades
- Testing and commissioning
We assess the pump, electrical supply, controls and level system together to identify the actual cause of the problem before recommending repairs or replacement.

Emergency Sewer Pump Repairs
A failed sewer pump can quickly become more than an inconvenience.
If wastewater levels continue to rise, a pump failure can result in:
- Damage to surrounding areas
- Environmental and hygiene issues
- Disruption to commercial operations
- Wastewater backing up into the property
- Sewer overflows
- High-level alarms
- Unusable toilets or amenities
When a sewer pump system fails unexpectedly, we can provide an urgent fault-finding and repair service to determine what has gone wrong and, where possible, restore operation as quickly as practical.
Our emergency response may include:
- Electrical fault finding
- Testing the sewer pump
- Checking float switches and level controls
- Testing contactors, overloads and control equipment
- Identifying failed pumps
- Resetting or repairing control systems
- Replacing faulty control components
- Pump removal where required
- Arranging or installing replacement pumps
- Temporary control solutions where safe and appropriate
If the pump cannot be repaired immediately, we can help determine the best course of action to reduce the risk of further problems until permanent repairs can be completed.

Why Choose Us for Sewer Pump Work?
Sewer pump systems combine mechanical equipment, electrical motors, level controls, protection devices and control panels.
A fault in any one of these areas can stop the entire system from operating.
Our experience with pumps and electrical control systems, combined with being qualified electricians, means we can assess the complete installation rather than looking at only one part of the problem.
Experienced With Pumps
We regularly work with pump systems across residential, commercial, rural and industrial applications.
Our pump experience includes:
- Sewer and sewage pumps
- Wastewater pumps
- Stormwater pumps
- Drainage pumps
- Irrigation pumps
- Transfer pumps
- Pump stations
- Single and dual-pump systems
- Variable-speed drives
- Pump control panels
- Float and level control systems
This practical experience helps us diagnose faults, select suitable replacement equipment and ensure the pump is being used correctly for the application.
Qualified Electricians
We are qualified electricians as well as experienced pump technicians.
This is particularly important with sewer pump systems because many faults that appear to be pump failures are actually caused by electrical or control problems.
We can test and work on:
- Pump motors
- Electrical cabling
- Power supplies
- Contactors and overloads
- Motor protection
- Control panels
- Float switches
- Level sensors
- High-level alarms
- Duty and standby controls
- Variable-speed drives
- Electrical protection equipment
Having one contractor who understands both the pump and electrical system can make fault finding faster and reduce the need to coordinate multiple trades.
Sewer Pump Fault Finding
A sewer pump that has stopped working does not always need to be replaced.
Common faults can include:
- Failed float switches
- Pumps blocked by foreign material
- Motor faults
- Damaged electrical cables
- Failed contactors
- Tripped overloads
- Control panel faults
- Incorrect level settings
- Failed relays
- Electrical supply problems
- Pump protection faults
- Mechanical pump damage
- Problems with duty and standby operation
We test the system to determine whether the fault is with the pump, electrical supply, cabling, controls or level system.
Where practical, we aim to identify the cause before recommending replacement equipment.

Sewer Pump Removal & Replacement
When a sewer pump has failed beyond repair, we can remove the existing pump and install a suitable replacement.
Before simply replacing the pump with the same model, we can assess whether the existing equipment is suitable for the installation.
We consider factors including:
- Required flow rate
- Pumping head
- Pipe size
- Pump station depth
- Pump duty
- Type of wastewater
- Electrical supply
- Control system
- Duty and standby requirements
- Existing guide rails and discharge connections
Where possible, we can select replacement equipment that integrates with the existing system while providing reliable operation for the intended application.
A replacement job may also include:
- New pump cabling
- Float replacement
- Control panel repairs
- Motor protection upgrades
- Alarm repairs
- Electrical connections
- Testing and commissioning

New Sewer Pump Installations
We can also assist with new sewer and wastewater pumping systems.
A new installation may include:
- Pump sizing and selection
- Sewer pump supply and installation
- Single or dual-pump arrangements
- Electrical supply and connections
- Pump control panels
- Duty and standby controls
- Float switches
- Level sensors
- High-level alarms
- Motor protection
- Remote alarm outputs
- Testing and commissioning
For larger projects, we are happy to work alongside plumbers, builders, hydraulic contractors and other trades to ensure the pumping and electrical systems operate together correctly.
Already have your own plumber or hydraulic contractor?
No problem. We can complete the pump, electrical and control work required as part of the installation.
Single & Dual Sewer Pump Systems
Depending on the application, a sewer pump station may use either a single pump or a dual-pump arrangement.
Dual-pump systems can provide additional reliability by allowing the pumps to operate as:
- Duty and standby
- Duty rotation
- Alternating pumps
- Lead and lag operation
If one pump fails, the second pump may be able to continue operating and reduce the risk of the station overflowing.
We can fault find, repair and upgrade dual-pump control systems, including:
- Pump alternation
- Duty selection
- Float controls
- High-level alarms
- Contactors and overloads
- Control relays
- Pump protection
Float Switches, Level Controls & Alarms
Reliable level control is essential for sewer pump operation.
A pump may be in perfectly good condition but still fail to operate correctly if a float switch, level sensor or control circuit has failed.
We can install and repair:
- Pump start floats
- Pump stop floats
- High-level alarm floats
- Level transducers
- Level controllers
- High-level alarms
- Audible and visual alarms
- Remote alarm outputs
Correctly installed and tested level controls help prevent pumps from running dry, excessive cycling and wastewater levels rising too high within the pump station.
Sewer Pump Control Panel Repairs & Upgrades
The control panel is the centre of a sewer pump system.
We can fault find and repair pump control panels and upgrade ageing or unreliable equipment where required.
Where older control equipment is becoming unreliable or difficult to replace, we can discuss options for upgrading the system while retaining suitable existing equipment where practical.
Testing & Commissioning
After repairs or installation, we test the system to confirm that the pump and controls are operating correctly.
Depending on the system, testing may include:
- Pump operation
- Electrical current
- Motor protection
- Start and stop levels
- Float switch operation
- High-level alarm operation
- Duty and standby operation
- Pump alternation
- Control panel operation
- Automatic operation
- Discharge performance
This allows us to confirm that the complete system is functioning as intended before the work is completed.
Residential, Commercial & Industrial Sewer Pumps
We work on sewer and wastewater pump systems used in a range of applications, including:
- Residential properties
- Septic and wastewater systems
- Commercial buildings
- Workshops
- Industrial facilities
- Accommodation facilities
- Pump stations
- Amenities and toilet blocks
- Sites where gravity drainage is not possible
Whether the system contains a small single pump or a larger dual-pump station, we can assist with the pump, electrical and control components.
