Water – Mud Pumping

Water – Mud Pumping Services

Water pumping is one of the services provided by Fire Protect.

Some of the cases where water pumping can be applied are floods, technical problems, dewatering of tanks, pools, wells, etc.

Floods in particular are now a frequent phenomenon, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or near areas bordering rivers, streams, lakes, etc.

When water enters basements, garages, or other spaces, prompt pumping is necessary to avoid serious damage to our property.

Floods in basements: Standing water in basements can cause moisture, mold and structural damage.
Damaged pipes: Broken pipes can cause flooding in indoor spaces.
Well overflowing: Malfunctioning wells can lead to flooding.
Heavy rainfall: Excessive rainfall can cause sewage system overflowing and flooding phenomena.
Dewatering of tanks: Tanks with water such as swimming pools, irrigation tanks, conservation reservoirs, etc. may contain a large amount of pond scum (green water), preventing thus normal pumps from removing the water quickly.

Floods in basements: The water that enters basements after a flood in most cases carries sediment and mud. When most of the water is removed, a layer of mud will eventually be left.
Damage in pipes: After a technical damage in the water pipes, mud often remains in the lower levels. Special mud removal and suction pumps that are available at Fire Protect can remove any residue.
Overflowing of wells: Wells that do not function properly can lead to the flooding of the surrounding space. Dirty water cannot be pumped with normal water pumps but only with special dirty or muddy water pumps.
Dewatering – cleaning of tanks: Water tanks such as swimming pools, irrigation tanks, conservation reservoirs, wells, etc. may often contain a large amount of pond scum (green water) and a large volume of mud at the bottom. Our company is equipped with special mud pumps, vacuum pumps and pressure pumps with a diameter of maximum 5cm that are able to pump both mud and sediment.

Expertise: Professionals have the right equipment and the know-how to deal with any flood situation regardless of size. A flooding phenomenon and the pumping method applied is related, on the one hand, to the volume of water and the water intake depth, and on the one hand, to the purity of the water and the content of mud, sediment etc. Another important factor is the point where the water will be channeled so that it does not cause further flooding phenomena and soil or structure erosions.
Speed: Prompt pumping is crucial to prevent further problems such as mold, rust and structural damage.
Safety: Professionals are aware of the risks involved in handling large quantities of water and take therefore all the necessary safety measures to protect you, your family and your property. Especially in the cases of flooding phenomena affecting residential areas, the pumping of water from basements can even cause structural damage.

Effectiveness: By using special pumps and special techniques, professionals can remove large quantities of water in a short period of time.

Onsite visit: A Fire Protect technician will visit your place to assess the situation and select the appropriate equipment.
Water pumping: Large pumps will be used to remove the water from the flooded area.
Cleaning: After pumping, the area can be completely cleaned of sediment such as mud, stones, branches, etc., and decontaminated.

Do not waste time!

Water pumping in cases of floods or technical problems is considered necessary in order to avoid serious damage.
