What Is a Sewer Ejector Pump?
A sewer ejector pump sits in a sealed basin below your basement floor and collects wastewater from below-grade fixtures—toilets, sinks, showers, and washing machines. When the basin fills to a set level, the pump activates and pushes the waste up to your home's main sewer line, where it flows by gravity to the municipal system.
Signs Your Ejector Pump Needs Service
- Sewage odors in the basement: A failing pump or broken seal can allow sewer gas to escape.
- Slow-draining basement fixtures: The pump may not be keeping up with wastewater volume.
- Pump running constantly: Could indicate a stuck float switch or check valve failure.
- Unusual noises: Grinding or rattling sounds from the pump basin.
- Sewage backup: Wastewater coming back up through basement drains requires immediate attention.
- Pump age: Ejector pumps typically last 7–10 years and should be replaced proactively.
