Sewer & Storm Pump Installation

What is a Sewage Ejector Pump?

A sewage ejector pump is an essential component for homes and buildings with bathrooms, laundry rooms, or other plumbing fixtures located below the main sewer or septic line. These pumps are designed to move wastewater and sewage from lower levels (such as basements) up to the main sewer line, preventing backups and ensuring proper drainage.

Common Issues with Sewage Ejector Pumps

Sewage ejector pumps work hard to keep your plumbing system running smoothly, but over time, they may encounter issues that can disrupt your home or business:

• Pump Failure
  If your sewage ejector pump fails, wastewater and sewage can back up into your basement or lower level. This is often caused by a motor malfunction, electrical failure, or a clogged impeller. Our expert team will quickly diagnose the issue and provide the necessary repair or replacement.
• Frequent Clogging
  Sewage ejector pumps are susceptible to clogs, especially if non-biodegradable items (such as wipes, paper towels, or other debris) are flushed into the system. Frequent clogs can lead to poor performance and damage to the pump. Regular maintenance can help prevent this issue.
• Unusual Noises
  Grinding, rattling, or whining noises from your pump may indicate mechanical issues, such as worn-out parts or foreign objects stuck in the system. Prompt attention is essential to avoid further damage and costly repairs.
• Sewage Odors
  Foul odors around your sewage ejector pump could point to a broken seal, venting problem, or a failing pump. Addressing this issue promptly will ensure your home remains safe and comfortable.
• Short Cycling
  If your pump is turning on and off frequently (short cycling), it could be a sign of a faulty float switch or other electrical problems. Short cycling can wear out the motor and reduce the lifespan of your pump.
