Benefits of a Sewer Ejector Pump
A lot of homeowners aren’t familiar with a sewer ejector pump. The goal of this device is to remove wastewater by pumping water from below the main water line.
If you have water in a basement or underground space, the ejector pump helps to get the water out of the sump pit and outside of your home.
It collects the wastewater in a sump pit or basin and, once the water reaches a predetermined level, the pump activates and forcefully ejects the wastewater into the main sewer line or septic tank.
The primary benefit of a sewer ejector pump is that it allows for the effective drainage of wastewater from lower levels of a building, making it possible to have functional bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms in basements or other low-lying areas.
Without a sewer ejector pump, these spaces would be prone to flooding and unsanitary conditions.
Interior or Exterior Sump Pump: Which is Better?
One common question with sump pump installation is whether you should get it installed inside or outside the home.
The pros of installing the sump pump inside is that it’s easier to maintain, less prone to outdoor elements, and it’s easier to monitor in case of any issues since it’s likely in your basement.
The main downside is the fact that you’ll have a small pit in your basement and if it fails, there’s a risk of having water inside your house.
Give Your Drains a Helping Hand
The genius of drainpipes is that gravity will do most of the work. Once the water leaves your tap or flushes the toilet, it is directed into the sewer, where it flows downstream to a treatment center.
But a hitch in the system can emerge for properties with finished basements featuring bathrooms or kitchens. When fixtures such as sinks and toilets are below the sewer line, a sewer ejector is needed to pump the wastewater out of the house and into the sewer.
If you’re thinking about refurbishing your basement or another company did a shoddy job upgrading yours, bring in the seasoned pros. One of our plumbing experts at Beach Plumbing can install sewer ejectors or make repairs to units serving existing fixtures.
