Pump well with check valve
A pump well can prevent the backflow of sewage water from
drainage installations during cloudbursts in basements in low-lying
areas.
Installing a pump well in the drainage pipe between the basement
and the public sewerage system can prevent backflow of sewage from
the sewerage system. A pump well typically has a sump (a volume) of
0.5 to 1m3, and this allows for the use of drainage installations
such as toilets, wash basins, and similar, when the public main
sewer is unable to meet demand in cloudburst situations. The
non-return valve facing the public sewerage system ensures against
backflow of sewage from the main network.
If there is no room to install a pump well outside a building, a
lift station can instead be fitted in inside the building/basement.
The lift station will typically have a volume of 0.5 m3 and
functions like a pump well.
