McBreen Enviro UK Wet Well Cleaning

What is the purpose of a Pump Station / Wet Well?

A pumping station comprises a large tank, referred to as a wet well, which serves as the collection point for sewage from a building or a group of buildings. Sewage from individual residences flows into the wet well. The sewage remains in the wet well until it reaches a specified level.

A pumping station simply moves sewage from one location to another, either horizontally and/or uphill when gravity cannot be relied upon to do the job. Ordinarily, the sewage network relies on gravity for waste to flow from homes and businesses to the mains sewer, where this cannot happen a pumping station is installed to transfer the waste from A to B.

How does a Pump Station work?

When low areas of land or where pipe depth underground becomes excessive, pumps are installed in wet wells.

Upon reaching a certain level, the pump activates to pressurize the sewage, enabling it to be transported out of the wet well, either uphill to a point where it enters the main sewer or to a location where it can flow into the main sewer by gravity or directly to the treatment plant for processing.

Why is it important to clean Wet Wells and Pump Stations?

Wet wells and pump stations should be cleaned regularly to ensure all working components do not block or fail. If a pumping station is not cleaned regularly the very heavy waste will settle on the base of the wet well and eventually block the pumps from removing the waste. When the pumps are blocked all waste flowing into the pumping station then has nowhere to go and causes blockages and overflowing manholes.
