Diagnose
Check the pump controls and confirm the equipment is not operating as intended.
Multi-unit property pump service
The pump had power. The impeller could not move.
Baby wipes had become caught in the pump impeller. The service required diagnostics, a controlled work area, access to the sump, cleaning, obstruction removal, and operational checks.

Real field workThe cause
Wipes can disable equipment built to move wastewater.
Products marketed as flushable do not necessarily break down like toilet paper. They can wrap around an impeller, restrict movement, and contribute to pump failure or flooding risk.
The site required more than removing debris. The team also checked the controls and organized the work area for safe, deliberate access.
Our approach
Prepare
Control the work zone and set up the access, ventilation, and retrieval equipment required.
Clean
Remove accumulated debris and baby wipes caught in the pump impeller.
Verify
Reassemble the system and check pump response and operation.
The outcome
The obstruction was removed and the pump returned to service.
This project also delivered a clear prevention message for residents: only toilet paper should be flushed.
