When gravity alone isn’t enough to remove your home’s wastewater, a sewage ejector pump steps in. Many homeowners aren’t familiar with these critical devices until they need one. If your home has a bathroom or plumbing fixtures below the level of your main sewer line, you’ll need a sewage ejector pump to help move wastewater uphill.
What is a Sewage Ejector Pump?
A sewage ejector pump lifts wastewater from lower levels of your home—such as basements—to the main sewer line or septic tank. It ensures the proper flow of wastewater when gravity alone can’t do the job, especially for bathrooms or laundry rooms located below the main sewer level.
Even if your fixtures are at the same level as the sewer line, you might still need an ejector pump if gravity can’t provide a strong enough flow.
Grinder Pumps: A Specialized Solution
Grinder pumps are a specialized type of sewage ejector pump. These pumps use a grinder or macerator to turn waste into a slurry, reducing the risk of clogs further down the line. Although more expensive, grinder pumps are particularly beneficial for households prone to pipe blockages.
Avoid Costly Issues: Watch What You Flush
Whether you have a sewage ejector pump or a grinder pump, avoiding hard-to-process items is crucial. Feminine hygiene products, baby wipes, and other non-flushable items can lead to significant damage, resulting in costly repairs. Grinder pumps, in particular, are vulnerable to these kinds of clogs, despite their grinding capabilities.
Professional Repair and Replacement Services
Installing or replacing a sewage ejector pump is not a DIY project. The pump must be properly sized to suit your home’s plumbing requirements, and all installations must comply with local plumbing codes. Incorrect sizing or installation can lead to pump failure, wastewater backups, and even damage to your property.
