Pumping and cleaning of sewage systems

Pumping and cleaning sewer systems removes unwanted materials, such as non-biodegradable debris or grease and sludge buildup, from pipes. Most sewer cleanings occur as part of a routine maintenance programme, although our teams also respond to emergency calls for overflowing or damaged pipes.

We put our expertise and know-how at the service of industrial and private clients, for whom we develop tailored solutions from a full range of services.

Common causes of sewer line problems

While some sewer line problems are preventable, others are simply unavoidable. Some of the most common causes include:

• Damage to sewer pipes caused by tree root growth
• Objects that have become lodged in the sewer pipe
• Deterioration of the sewer pipe over time
• Accumulation that obstructs the main sewer line
• Extreme temperature changes, both hot and cold
• Ground movement, which causes misalignment, buckling or rupture of the sewer pipe
