Sewage Pit Cleaning
Commercial sites with sewage pits accumulate an abundance of wastewater and sludge. Sump pump pits accumulate storm water or groundwater to prevent flooding.
Both of these pits contain pumps which propel water into a drainage system or sewer pipe, against the flow of gravity. It’s very difficult to pump out a large amount of sludge or debris inside the pits, and it may even damage the pumps themselves, so it’s recommended that regular sewage pit cleaning is maintained.
The best option for sewage pit cleaning is high pressure flushing or hydro-jetting. When sludge, sewage, grease, and other materials severely clog up the pit, they harden and congeal, making them even more difficult to remove. High pressure water can easily remove the sludge and debris is to blast it away.
An essential part of flood prevention includes a well-maintained sump pump. Storm drain backups, broken pipes and heavy rains could cause your sump pump to not function. It can cause serious damage to your commercial property.
Sewage pit cleaning is an unpleasant necessity. Without routine maintenance your pits will:
- Produce an overwhelmingly bad odor
- Lead to pump disfunction or failure
- Create sewage back-up and down time
When you routinely maintain your sump pump or sewer pit you can avoid experiencing down time and operate your facility more efficiently.Sewage pit cleaning is essential to the maintenance and proper functioning of your sewage system and cleaning pits can save more money in the long run.
