Sewage ejector pump

What a Sewage Ejector Pump Does

Homes with basements or plumbing fixtures below the main sewer line rely on a sewage ejector pump to move wastewater up and out to the city sewer or septic system. The pump collects wastewater from basement bathrooms, laundry rooms, and floor drains, then pumps it up into the main sewer line. When that pump fails, or was not installed correctly, drains can back up fast.

These systems matter most for:

  • Basement bathrooms
  • Downstairs laundry rooms
  • Finished basements
  • Homes with plumbing below grade

Because these pumps handle waste, they have to be installed and maintained correctly to avoid backups, odors, and system failure.
