Stormwater Pump Installation, Repairs & Emergency Fault Finding

Stormwater pump stopped working, tripping the power or causing a high-level alarm?

With heavy rain approaching or water already rising, a failed stormwater pump can quickly become an emergency.

We provide complete stormwater pump installation, repair and fault-finding services for residential, commercial and industrial properties, including stormwater pits, drainage systems and pumping stations.

As qualified electricians with extensive pump experience, we can fault find the complete system — including the pumps, electrical supply, control panel, floats, level controls, alarms and associated electrical equipment.

For urgent failures, we can provide emergency attendance to help minimise the risk of flooding, property damage and disruption.

Emergency Stormwater Pump Repairs

When a stormwater pump fails during heavy rain, the situation can escalate quickly.

Water levels can continue to rise while the pump remains stopped, potentially resulting in:

We can respond to urgent stormwater pump faults and breakdowns to determine why the system has failed and, where possible, restore operation as quickly as practical.

If a permanent repair cannot be completed immediately, we can help determine the safest practical solution to reduce the risk of flooding while permanent repairs or replacement equipment are arranged.

Complete Stormwater Pump Services

We work on stormwater pumping systems ranging from small single-pump installations through to larger dual-pump stations and automated drainage systems.

We can assist with:

Stormwater pump installation
Pump removal and replacement
Pump station fault finding
Pumps that will not start
Pumps continually tripping
High-level alarms
Float switch faults
Level control problems
Electrical fault finding
Pump control panel repairs

Contactors and motor overloads
Pump protection systems
Single and dual-pump systems
Duty and standby controls
Pump alternation
Level transducers
Alarm systems
Control panel upgrades
Testing and commissioning

We assess the pump, electrical system and controls together rather than assuming that a stopped pump automatically requires replacement.

Why Choose Us for Stormwater Pumps?

Stormwater pumping systems rely on the electrical controls and pumps operating correctly when they are needed most.

Often, the first indication of a problem occurs during heavy rainfall when the system is under its greatest demand.

Extensive Pump Experience

We have extensive practical experience working with pumps and pumping systems across stormwater, sewer, wastewater, bore, irrigation and water transfer applications.

This experience helps us understand not only whether a pump is running, but whether the complete pumping system is operating correctly.

We can assess:

This allows us to properly diagnose faults and recommend a solution suited to the installation.

Qualified Electricians

We are qualified electricians as well as experienced with pumps and pump control systems.

Many stormwater pump failures that initially appear to be a failed pump can actually be caused by:

Electrical supply faults
Failed contactors
Tripped overloads
Damaged cabling
Faulty float switches
Failed level controls
Control panel faults
Incorrect protection settings

Because we can work across both the pump and electrical system, we can investigate the complete installation without relying on separate contractors for different parts of the fault.

Stormwater Pump Fault Finding

A stormwater pump that does not start does not necessarily mean the pump has failed.

We regularly fault find problems involving:

Failed pumps
Blocked or jammed pumps
Damaged electrical cables
Failed float switches
Level sensor faults
Failed contactors
Motor overload faults

Electrical supply problems
Control relay faults
High-level alarm faults
Control panel failures
Duty and standby control problems
Pump alternation faults

We test the system to determine whether the fault is with the pump, electrical supply, cabling, controls or level system before recommending repairs or replacement.

Stormwater Pump Removal & Replacement

When a stormwater pump has failed beyond repair, we can remove the existing pump and install a suitable replacement.

Before replacing a pump, we can assess the requirements of the system and whether the existing pump is correctly suited to the application.

Factors we may consider include:

Required flow rate
Pumping head
Pit depth
Discharge pipe size
Pump station configuration
Electrical supply
Motor size
Existing controls
Duty and standby requirements
Existing discharge connections and guide rails

Where practical, we can select replacement equipment that works with the existing system while providing the required pumping performance.

A pump replacement may also include:

Electrical connections
New pump cabling
Float switch replacement
Motor protection upgrades
Control panel repairs
Alarm repairs
Testing and commissioning

New Stormwater Pump Installations

We can assist with new stormwater pumping systems for applications where gravity drainage is not practical or where water needs to be pumped from a collection pit to the stormwater system.

A new installation may include:

Pump sizing and selection
Stormwater pump supply and installation
Single or dual-pump arrangements
Electrical supply and connections
Pump control panels
Float switches

For larger projects, we can work alongside plumbers, builders, hydraulic contractors and other trades to complete the pump and electrical components of the installation.

Single & Dual Stormwater Pump Systems

For critical stormwater applications, dual-pump systems can provide additional capacity and redundancy.

Depending on the design, pumps may operate as:

If one pump fails, the second pump may provide continued operation and reduce the likelihood of the stormwater pit overflowing.

We can fault find and repair dual-pump systems including:

Float Switches, Level Controls & High-Level Alarms

Reliable level controls are critical to stormwater pumping systems.

The pump may be fully operational but fail to start if the float switch, level sensor or control circuit has failed.

We can install, test and replace:

High-level alarms are particularly important for critical stormwater pits because they can provide early warning that the pumping system is not keeping up or has developed a fault.

Stormwater Pump Control Panels

We can fault find, repair and upgrade stormwater pump control panels.

Where ageing equipment is becoming unreliable or replacement components are difficult to obtain, we can discuss options for upgrading the controls to improve reliability and future serviceability.

Preventative Stormwater Pump Maintenance

A stormwater pumping system may sit for long periods without being required to operate at full capacity.

Unfortunately, that means faults can sometimes remain unnoticed until a major rain event.

Periodic inspection and testing can help identify problems before they become an emergency.

Preventative maintenance may include:

Running and testing each pump
Checking automatic operation
Testing float switches
Testing level controls
Checking high-level alarms
Testing duty and standby operation

Checking pump alternation
Electrical current measurements
Motor protection checks
Control panel inspections
Checking contactors and overloads
Identifying damaged or deteriorating electrical equipment

For critical installations, regular testing can provide greater confidence that the system will operate correctly when heavy rainfall occurs.

Testing & Commissioning

Following repairs, replacement or installation, we can test the system to confirm that the pumps and controls are operating correctly.

Our aim is to confirm that the complete stormwater pumping system operates correctly, not simply that the individual pump starts.

Residential, Commercial & Industrial Stormwater Pumps

We work on stormwater pumping systems across a range of applications, including:

Whether you have a small stormwater pit or a critical dual-pump station protecting a commercial property, we can assist with the pumps, electrical controls and fault finding.

Need Help With a Stormwater Pump?

Do not wait until the next major rain event to investigate a stormwater pump that is showing faults or operating unreliably.

Whether you need an urgent breakdown response, a replacement pump, control panel repairs or preventative maintenance, we can assess the complete system and provide a practical solution.
