Types of Sewer Pumps We Service
- Sewer Ejector Pumps – Ideal for most residential basements. These pumps lift waste and solids up to 20 feet to reach the gravity sewer or septic line using impeller velocity. They are more affordable than grinder pumps for standard applications.
- Sewage Grinder Pumps – Powerful units that shred paper, solids, and debris into a fine slurry. Best suited for long horizontal runs, high vertical lifts over 20 feet, or locations prone to frequent clogs. Now widely available for both residential and commercial use.
Common Sewer Ejector Pump Problems We Solve
- Pump fails to turn on or runs continuously
- Weak or no flow causing backups in basement fixtures
- Strange noises, grinding, or humming from the unit
- Foul odors or sewage leaking around the basin
- Clogged impeller or discharge line
- Failed float switch or electrical issues
- Aging pumps that need full replacement
How We Service Sewer Ejector Pumps
- Fully inspect the basin, pump, floats, check valves, and discharge lines.
- Clear clogs with hydro jetting or snaking when needed.
- Perform video pipe inspection on the discharge line if deeper issues are suspected.
- Repair or replace faulty impellers, floats, seals, or motors.
- Test the complete system to ensure reliable lift and proper operation.
- Install new ejector or grinder pumps when repair is no longer the best option.
We handle installations in finished and unfinished basements with minimal disruption and professional cleanup.
Frequently Asked Questions
