Saniflo pump callouts in Houghton-le-Spring

We recently attended a Macerator repair job in Houghton-le-Spring where the homeowner reported a burning smell and a pump that ran non-stop.

The inspection showed the float switch wasn’t moving freely — the pump thought it was always empty. We cleaned the float chamber, replaced the switch where needed, and tested several full flush cycles to prove the alarm stayed clear.

Result: They were happy with the quieter pump operation and relieved the alarm wasn’t ignored — they’d been worried about a bigger leak into the floor.
