What is a Sewage Ejector Pump?

Your sewage ejector pump is out of sight, but when it fails, the consequences show up fast. An ejector pit collects wastewater from lower-level plumbing fixtures. Once the pit fills to a certain level, a sewage ejector pump automatically turns on and pushes the waste up and out to the main sewer or septic line.

Common applications include:

  • Basement bathrooms and toilets
  • Basement laundry rooms
  • Basement bars and wet bars
  • Basement utility sinks
  • Lower-level additions

Ejector pits are out of sight, but problems with them can escalate quickly. Damage can cause wastewater to back up into your home within hours. Timely repairs keep your ejector system dependable and protect your home from major water damage and sanitation issues.
