Sewage Pump Pit Cleaning & Removal
The main reasons to carry out pit cleans are to remove:
Excessive amounts of grease and fat
Tissue paper such as paper hand towels
Other foreign objects such as plastic bottle tops
The Problem
From time to time pit cleans will be required especially where there is a high presence of grease, fat and other foreign objects which find their way in to a pit. The importance of keeping a pit clear is vital to avoid pumps clogging and failing. Pit cleaning is a service often overlooked by the consumer but is of great importance to keep the pumping systems running efficiently and preventing floods.
Useful Information
Despite claims by many manufacturers stating their cloth type wipes are flushable, they do flush away however many don’t bio-degrade like toilet paper and frequently cause blockages within pipes and pumps. The same applies to sanitary towels and similar products.
