At Omnifab, we don’t just have unmatched expertise in wastewater pumps — we also have a unique ability to meet the specific needs of those who depend on them.
In the following example, you’ll see how our team is fully equipped to provide turnkey emergency services to municipalities, businesses or individuals dealing with a faulty wastewater pump.
But first, let’s take a closer look at what a wastewater pump actually is.
Talk to the Wastewater Pump Experts
What Is a Wastewater Pump?
A wastewater pump is a device designed to move or remove water that contains solid materials and debris — such as water from sinks, toilets, showers, kitchens, or industrial sources. Unlike clean water pumps, these pumps are specifically built to handle liquids with suspended particles, often larger in size, requiring a sturdier build and a grinding or filtering mechanism.
Wastewater pumps are commonly used in industrial or municipal drainage systems to keep sanitation networks running smoothly and to prevent blockages. They can be submersible, installed directly in the water tank, or surface-mounted with a hose that draws the water in.
Quick Response Is One of Our Top Priorities
When a wastewater pump fails, the consequences can be severe — especially when it’s part of a municipal wastewater treatment network.
That’s why, when the wastewater manager of a municipality in the Lanaudière region called us about a faulty pump, we immediately deployed an emergency response strategy.
Just 10 minutes after the call, an electromechanic was already on the road.
Repair Services That Help Keep Public Services Running
Public services are essential for ensuring citizens’ quality of life. When Omnifab is called upon by municipalities, we pull out all the stops to help maintain continuity.
Upon arriving onsite, our municipal pump repair and maintenance specialist began by disconnecting the faulty pump from the wastewater treatment network. This required unhooking several electrical and plumbing connections.
A replacement pump was then installed to keep the system running while the defective pump was taken to our shop for a full inspection.
We’re Not Afraid to Get Our Hands Dirty to Restore Electric Pumps!
It’s no secret that many types of waste and debris flow through wastewater pumps. That’s why many municipalities choose grinder pumps, which are better equipped to handle solid waste.
When we began disassembling the pump in our shop, we quickly determined that debris blockage was the root cause of the issue. We thoroughly cleaned all of its components.
The inspection also revealed that water infiltration had damaged the stator connection. To restore the pump to 100% efficiency, we performed a stator rewind.
Why Call Omnifab When Your Wastewater Pump Breaks?
Public organizations dealing with a pump failure usually want a turnkey service that minimizes the number of service providers involved and reduces downtime.
By working with us, our client avoided having to call in both an electrician and a wastewater pump expert.
Very few pump repair and maintenance companies are certified to legally and safely work on the electrical components that power municipal pumps.
