What Is a Sewage Ejector Pump & When Do You Need One?
Contrary to what you might believe, sewage ejector pumps are similar but not the same as sump pumps. Sump pumps are designed to remove water that has leaked from pipes or infiltrated your home through open windows, etc. Sewage ejector pumps are designed to pump wastewater and sewage from basement bathrooms, laundry rooms, etc., into the main sewer line.
As with sump pumps, wastewater is collected in a pit or basin. When the prescribed level is reached within the collection vessel, the ejector pump will pump the wastewater into your sewer line. If the pump has a grinder, it will first break down the sewage to help facilitate this process. The process is swift and nearly silent, so you will hardly notice the operation.
The Importance of Proper Sewage Ejector Pump Installation
Because sewage ejector pumps are connected directly to your sewer line, professional installation is vital. This ensures that everything is properly connected to your plumbing and electrical networks, which helps guarantee the process will perform as required. Moreover, it helps prevent backups, and equally as important, it ensures code compliance with local plumbing codes. This helps preserve any homeowners’ insurance coverage and helps protect your home from troubling leaks and failures.
There are many benefits and advantages to sewage ejector pump installation, including:
- Efficient waste removal
- Protects bathrooms and other below-grade areas from sewage leaks
- Expands living space by allowing you to build below-grade bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms
- Adds value to your property
