Sewage pump station emergency service

When your pump station stops working, everything stops with it.

The sinks slow, toilets rise, alarms go off, and very quickly the situation becomes stressful.

At ASL Limited, we specialise in 24/7 emergency pump station callouts, and we don’t just turn up to clear the problem – we fix the cause so it doesn’t happen again.

Why Pump Stations Fail

Most pump station breakdowns come down to one of these:

• Pump jammed by wipes, sanitary products, fat or debris
• Float switch stuck so the pump can’t detect the level
• Blocked or collapsed rising main
• Electrical supply fault or control panel issue
• Pump has simply worn out from age or heavy demand

Our engineers don’t guess.

They diagnose, test, and show you clearly what has gone wrong and what needs to be done to prevent a repeat.

Fully Qualified Engineers – Not Just “Pump Men”

Every ASL pump engineer has:

• Full electrical training – they are safe to work on control panels
• Experience installing treatment plants, septic tanks & pump stations
• Practical knowledge of flow rates, capacity & settlement systems

This matters.

A pump station is part of a system, and if the system is not understood, the same problem returns – again and again.

What Happens When We Arrive

We start with:

1. Pump Out & Safe Access
   
   We remove the excess waste to create a safe working area.
2. Inspection & Diagnosis
   
   We inspect the chamber, floats, pump body, discharge pipe and non-return valve.
3. Test Run & Recovery
   
   We restore the pump to full working order, test the auto-start, and confirm the system is safe.
4. Advice That Prevents a Second Breakdown
   
   If the rising main is blocked, the soakaway is failed, or wipes are the issue – we tell you plainly.

Avoid Repeat Breakdowns

Once a pump station has failed once, it’s more likely to fail again if it isn’t serviced.
We recommend a service every 6–12 months, depending on usage.

This keeps:

• Electrical consumption down
• Pumps running smoothly
• Alarms silent
• Gardens clean and odour-free
