Sewage Ejector Pump Services –
Installation, Repair & Maintenance

A sewage ejector pump is an essential piece of equipment in many basements and lower-level spaces. Whenever plumbing fixtures sit below the level of the main sewer line, wastewater can’t flow out by gravity alone. A sewage ejector system collects wastewater from toilets, sinks, showers, and laundry below grade and then pumps it up into the main sewer or septic line. Without it, lower-level bathrooms and laundry rooms wouldn’t be able to drain properly.

 

​

Why Sewage Ejector Pumps Were Installed

 

 

Sewage ejector pumps were designed to allow full plumbing functionality below grade, especially in homes with basement bathrooms or in commercial buildings where drainage points are lower than the municipal sewer line. By pumping wastewater upward, these systems made it possible to build additional living or working space below ground.

Common Sewage Ejector Problems

 

 

Over time, sewage ejector pumps can develop issues due to wear, age, or improper installation. Some of the most common problems include:

 

• Pump Failure – Motor burnout, clogged impellers, or switch malfunctions stop the pump from running.

• Clogs or Blockages – Foreign objects, grease, or wipes can clog the basin or discharge pipe.

• Odors and Leaks – A failing pump or worn seals can cause foul smells and leaks into the basement.

• Alarm or Float Switch Failures – Malfunctioning floats may prevent the pump from activating at the right time.

• Short Cycling or Noisy Operation – Signs the pump is undersized or reaching the end of its life.

A malfunctioning sewage ejector pump can lead to wastewater backing up into your basement, creating health hazards, property damage, and costly clean-up bills. Prompt professional service helps avoid these problems, keeps your plumbing compliant with code, and extends the life of your system.
