Preventative Maintenance Programs
Repeatable maintenance observations that help agencies and facilities identify change before it becomes an emergency.
How RMS Approaches It
Diagnosis before replacement.
Reactive service makes it hard to distinguish routine wear from developing risk. RMS helps build useful equipment history through repeatable field observations.
Typical service scope
- Equipment inventory and service interval planning
- Current, leakage, seal condition, vibration, pressure, and controls checks where applicable
- Identification of repair candidates suitable for planned service windows
- Maintenance documentation that supports public works and facility records

Common Failure Conditions
Symptoms RMS evaluates before recommending a repair path.
The goal is to identify whether the issue is hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, controls-related, or a combination of conditions affecting the complete pumping system.
Typical indicators
- Increasing vibration, abnormal current, leakage, or heat
- Changing run times, drawdown behavior, pressure, or sequencing
- Wear items that can be planned before an emergency callout
- Valve, controls, coupling, seal, or bearing conditions that need trending
- Missing equipment history that makes future troubleshooting slower
RMS Process
From first symptom to documented return-to-service.
RMS follows a practical workflow: understand the operating problem, verify the cause, perform the right work, test the result, and leave a usable service record.
Assessment
Collect symptoms, site context, equipment details, and urgency before assuming the pump is the only fault.
Diagnosis
Compare operating observations, current, pressure, flow, controls behavior, valves, and mechanical condition.
Recommendation
Separate confirmed repair needs from system-side issues and identify the practical return-to-service path.
Repair
Complete field service, shop repair, rebuild coordination, controls adjustments, or retrofit work within RMS's scope.
Testing
Verify rotation, pressure, drawdown, sequencing, leakage, vibration, current draw, and system behavior where applicable.
Documentation
Record post-service observations so future maintenance and troubleshooting have a usable baseline.
