Essential if your basement bathroom is lower than your main sewer line, sewage ejector pumps help move solid waste from your toilet through your home’s plumbing system until it reaches a point where it can be drained by gravity. Sewage ejector pumps are located in a sewage ejector pump pit and use powerful jets to break up solid waste and send it into your septic tank or sewage system. A good sewage ejector pump, provided it is properly maintained, should last at least 7-10 years, with many lasting upwards of 20 or even 30 years! If you’re planning on adding a bathroom in your basement and you want to install a sewage ejector pump, or if you need sewage ejector pump replacement, call Wheat & Sons today!

Sewage Ejector Pump Replacement

As we said above, sewage ejector pumps, when properly installed and maintained, can last upwards of 30 years or more. In fact, the most common reason that people who need sewage ejector pump replacement end up needing it is because the plumbers who installed the pump originally either undersized it or tried to install it on the cheap, cutting corners along the way. For instance, many less skilled plumbers don’t know you need to drill a small hole about 1/8” above the threaded adapter to help ease the amount of solids pushing down on the impeller. Most sewage ejector pump manufacturers recommend doing this, but it is often forgotten if the plumber is just trying to get to the next job.
