Sewage Ejector Pump Repair and Replacement, IL
Basement bathrooms, laundry fixtures, and other plumbing below the main sewer elevation may depend on a sewage ejector pump. When the pump, float, check valve, lid seal, or discharge piping fails, fixtures can drain slowly, alarms may sound, or wastewater can back up.

FAQ
Frequently Asked
Questions
Questions
What is the difference between a sump pump and an ejector pump?
A sump pump moves groundwater away from the foundation. A sewage ejector pump moves wastewater from below-grade fixtures up to the building drain or sewer.
Can I keep using the basement bathroom if the ejector pump fails?
No. Stop using fixtures connected to the ejector basin until the system is inspected and repaired.
Should the ejector pit lid be sealed?
Yes. The basin should be properly sealed and vented to control sewer gas and meet applicable plumbing requirements.
A simple and clear process designed to solve your problem quickly and efficiently.
