Causes of Pump Station Failures
A fault can usually be identified by the warning light and audible alarm on your control panel, or if you notice foul smells. Causes for this could be:
- Debris Build-Up: Accumulation of fat, oil, grease, or waste in the pump chamber.
- Pipe Blockages: Obstructions in the pipes leading to the pump chamber.
- Wear and Tear: Gradual deterioration of pump components over time.
- Electrical Issues: Faulty wiring or malfunctioning control systems.
- Faulty Floats: Problems with the float mechanism impacting functionality.
- Rust and Corrosion: Damage caused by prolonged exposure to moisture.
Identifying and addressing these issues promptly can prevent further damage and costly repairs. If you’ve noticed warning signs, don’t hesitate to enquire for expert assistance.

Pump Repair FAQ's
Can Water Pumps Be Repaired?
How Long Will It Take To Get My Pump Repaired?
The time it takes to carry out pump repairs can vary depending on the problem. Our engineers carry a range of common components that are subject to failure and can often have your pumping station working in a matter of hours. Where major components have failed, we can often re-configure the system to run on a single pump until spares arrive.
When a pumping station fails, it’s designed to allow up to 24 hours of use before it overflows. If you’re worried about the pump overflowing, we can also offer additional assurance by using our fleet of tankers to remove the contents until a permanent repair is completed.
How Much Will It Cost to Get My Pump Repaired?
Pump designs vary enormously depending on size and the distance they pump the effluent. Our local engineers can provide you with an indication of the costs, however, before they start the work, they will do an initial investigation and be able to give a full quote.
What Is the Most Common Problem of a Water Pump?
Leaking is one of the most common problems for a water pump. Leakage might occur due to worn-out seals, gaskets, or cracks in the pump housing. Over time, these components can deteriorate from regular use or exposure to corrosive materials, leading to leaks. Addressing leaks promptly is crucial to prevent performance issues or further damage. If you notice any of these problems, it’s best to seek professional help by searching for pump repair near me to connect you with local experts like our team at Metro Rod. With regular inspections and proper care, you can extend your water pump’s lifespan and ensure it runs efficiently.

The drainage and pump specialists at Metro Rod have in-depth knowledge of pump mechanics and the tools to address intricate problems, so why not give us a call today.
