Understanding Sewer Ejector Pumps
What is a Sewage Ejector Pump? Most homeowners are unaware if they have a sewage ejector pump installed in their residence. If your home has a bathroom below the level of your main sewer line, a sewage ejector pump is essential. It lifts the sewage to the level of the sewer line, allowing it to flow out of the house to the community sewer or septic tank.
Do You Need a Sewage Ejector Pump? Even if your bathroom is nearly level with the sewer line or septic tank, you may need a sewage ejector pump if the wastewater cannot flow fast enough by gravity alone.
Sewage Grinder Pumps: A sewage grinder pump is a variation on the sewage ejector pump. It uses a grinder to turn the effluent into a slurry before pumping it out. While more expensive, sewage grinder pumps significantly reduce the potential for clogs.
Preventative Measures: Avoid flushing items such as feminine hygiene products or condoms to prevent major problems in any system. Even sewage grinder pumps can suffer severe and expensive damage from such items.
Professional Installation and Replacement: Replacing a sewage ejector pump is not a do-it-yourself project. Properly sizing the pump to meet your home’s plumbing needs is complex. Trust a professional to ensure the work meets all town plumbing codes.
