Some floodwaters contain sewage, and sewage backups are known to contain a variety of bacteria and other pathogens that may be harmful to humans. In this regard, it is imperative that water removal be performed at the soonest possible time. A very important damage restoration resource that is used for water and sewage removal is the submersible sewage pump.
A submersible pump is a water damage restoration resource where the whole pump assembly is submerged or immersed into the water for removal. The pump consists of a sealed motor contained in oil-filled cavities and is isolated from outside with a system of mechanical seals. This sealed motor assembly prevents water or fluids from entering the motor and damaging the sewage pumping.
Unlike other axial pumps that use external air pressure to move water, the high-pressure in the motor forces the water out through an interconnection of pipes. This makes it an ideal damage restoration resource for removing large amounts of water at a faster rate.
