The current page represents repair, installation, inspection, float-switch replacement, check-valve service, basin cleaning, and emergency support. Confirm exact basin, vent, electrical, alarm, and new-installation scope before publication.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewage Ejector Pump Repair & Installation

What is a sewage ejector pump?

It pumps wastewater from fixtures below the main sewer-line elevation up into the building drain.

What fixtures usually use an ejector pump?

Basement or lower-level toilets, showers, sinks, and laundry may connect to an ejector system.

Why is the alarm sounding?

The basin is too full because the pump, float, controls, power, check valve, or discharge is not working normally.

Should I stop using the basement bathroom?

Yes, when the alarm is active or wastewater is rising. Continued use can overflow the system.

Can the pump be repaired?

Some floats, switches, check valves, clogs, and controls can be repaired; a failed motor or damaged pump may require replacement.

Why does the room smell like sewage?

A loose lid, failed seal, vent problem, stagnant basin, or backup may allow odors to escape.

Is an ejector pump the same as a sump pump?

No. An ejector pump moves wastewater; a sump pump normally moves groundwater.

Do you install new ejector systems?

The current page says installation is offered. Confirm basin, vent, electrical, alarm, and permit scope.
