Common Signs Your Sewage Pump Needs Repair
Recognising the early warning signs of pump trouble can save you time, money, and a major plumbing disruption. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to call Citywide Plumbing:
- The pump is not turning on at all
- Alarms or warning lights are activating
- Foul odours are present near the pump chamber
- Water is backing up into drains or fixtures
- The pump runs constantly or cycles irregularly
- Unusual humming, grinding, or buzzing noises
- Slow drainage from multiple fixtures
These symptoms often point to mechanical faults, electrical failures, or blockages. Left unchecked, they can lead to overflows, backups, and costly property damage.
What Causes Sewage Pump Failures?
Sewage pump breakdowns can result from various issues, including:
- Float switch failure – A common fault that prevents the pump from switching on or off
- Clogs or obstructions – Foreign objects, grease, or debris blocking the impeller
- Motor failure – Age, water ingress, or power surges can burn out the motor
- Worn or damaged impellers – Reducing pump performance and causing blockages
- Faulty electrical components – Control panels, wiring, or plug connections failing over time
- Pump overload – Caused by excessive waste volume or improper system design
Citywide Plumbing technicians are trained to diagnose and repair all these issues, ensuring your system is running safely and efficiently.
