What Is a Sewage Ejector Pump, and Why Would My Home Need One?
A sewage ejector pump transports sewage water from appliances that are kept belowground (usually in a basement) to the ground-level sewer line. These pumps are normally used in homes that have a basement-level bathroom or laundry room. Sewage ejector pumps counteract gravity and prevent belowground floors from becoming flooded with sewage water. They can also help establish an even flow of water upstairs.
If your home has a belowground floor, you might need a sewage ejector pump. Some homes connect to a sewer line underneath a basement, including municipal sewer lines, but this depends on where you live. Chances are that if you have a basement-level, water-based appliance, you will need a sewage ejector pump.

Signs a Sewage Ejector Pump Needs Repairs
Thankfully, a sewage ejector pump usually gives a few clear signs that there are issues before it fails. Here are a few of them:
-
The pump never activates (this could be a sign that your float switch is not functioning correctly).
-
It’s 7 years old or older.
-
The pump never stops running.
-
You hear the pump making strange sounds, like screeching, clattering, or grinding.

Sewage Ejector Pump FAQs
Sewage ejector pumps are fitted in bathrooms and other plumbing hot spots located beneath the sewer line. Since wastewater flow relies on gravity, plumbing beneath the primary sewer line must be elevated or pumped. If you have a laundry room or basement bathroom, an ejector pump will assure you of proper flow. Ejector pumps have a lifespan of around 10 years. As they reach the end of that period, their ability to provide optimal service diminishes. A pre-emptive replacement could protect you from catastrophe. If your pump is wearing out, you might see dirty water, constant cycling, or difficulties upon startup. If your ejector pump refuses to turn on, the first troubleshooting step is to make sure it’s plugged in and receiving power from your circuit panel. Check the float switch, discharge line, and impeller for blockages that are easy to clear. If these troubleshooting steps don’t yield results, unplug the unit and call for professional assistance.
