Whether you have a sewage ejector pump that needs repairing or you’re interested in having a sewage pump installed, our team is here to help.
While sewage ejector pumps are similar to sump pumps, and they also are installed in a basin usually in the basement of a home, they serve a different purpose. As opposed to pushing groundwater away from the home, sewage ejector pumps push out sewage, waste water and greywater. Sewage ejector pumps are usually needed in a home that is situated downhill from the main sewer line, and therefore needs the extra boost to push sewage out of and away from the home.
Most homes are designed and built to utilize gravity to push any waste and sewage away from the home. Sewage will generally flow through your home, and then down and out to the sewer line that connects to the municipal sewer main. However, if your home is downhill from the sewer line or the municipal sewer main, there is no way for gravity to naturally move your sewage out of your home. This can cause unsanitary sewage backups in the home. Basements bathrooms can also suffer from this same problem due to being situated in a low elevation area of the home, even if the rest of the home doesn’t have the issue.
This is where a sewage ejector pump comes in. The pump will create the force that is needed to lead sewage, waste and greywater away from your home.

On average, sewer ejector pumps last at least 7-10 years. However, with proper and regular maintenance, they can last even longer.
Regularly cleaning your sewage ejector pump, particularly the pump vents, and inspecting all of the proponents to ensure that they are tight and working properly is one of the best ways you can maintain your sewage ejector pump yourself. We recommend regularly scheduled, professional maintenance to keep your system working properly and to extend its life.
Smells coming from a sewage ejector pump or any smells of sewage need to be addressed right away. The most common cause for sewage smells is a dry P-trap. Ensure that all of the traps in your basement have water in them to block the sewer gases from entering the home. Otherwise, the smell could be caused from clogs, dysfunctional or old plumbing, worn out gaskets and seals, or a blocked vent pump. To determine the exact cause of the smell, seek the help of a professional plumber.
