What is a Pump Station?
A pump station (also known as a pumping station) is a system that helps move wastewater or sewage from one place to another — especially when it can’t flow naturally due to gravity. Pump stations are commonly used for properties where the drainage system is lower than the main sewer line, like in basements, remote buildings, or low-lying areas.
The pump station collects the wastewater in a tank and, once it reaches a certain level, powerful pumps automatically push it through pipes to the main sewer or treatment plant. It’s a reliable and efficient way to keep your drainage system flowing smoothly — and prevent backups or flooding.
Do I Need a Pump Station for My Property?
If your property struggles with drainage or is located on low-lying ground, you might benefit from a pump station.
Here are some signs you might need a pump station:
- Your property sits lower than the main sewer line
- You experience frequent flooding or pooling water in certain areas
- You’re building an extension, basement, or outbuilding below the sewer level
- You run a business with high wastewater output and need reliable drainage
- Your existing drainage system isn’t coping well with demand
