What is a sewage ejector pump?

A sewage ejector pump is a device used to pump sewage and wastewater from below-grade buildings to the main sewer line. It is commonly installed in basements or bathrooms located below the level of the main sewer line.

Sewage ejector pumps function by collecting sewage and wastewater from a basin or pit, and then pumping it to the main sewer line through a discharge pipe. These pumps are typically powered by electricity and are equipped with a float switch that activates the pump when the sewage level reaches a certain point in the basin.

Sewage ejector pumps are essential for homes and buildings that are below the level of the main sewer line, as they help to prevent backups and sewage overflows. Regular maintenance and inspection of sewage ejector pumps are important to ensure they continue to function properly and prevent costly repairs or damage to the property.
