Understanding Sewage Ejector Pumps
Sewage ejector pumps are crucial components of homes located below the municipal sewer line. They lift wastewater up to the sewer main, preventing backups and ensuring proper sanitation. If you live in a low-lying area or have a basement, a sewage ejector pump is likely a necessary part of your plumbing system.
Common Sewage Ejector Pump Issues
Pump Failure:
If your pump is not working, it may be due to a mechanical issue, power failure, or clogged impeller.
Clogged Pipes:
Blockages in the pipes leading to or from the pump can cause backups and reduced efficiency.
Float Switch Problems:
The float switch, which controls the pump’s operation, can malfunction, leading to improper pumping.

What can I do to prevent sewage backups?
To minimize the risk of backups:
- Avoid pouring grease or other solids down the drains.
- Use hair traps in showers and sinks.
