How Does a Sewage Ejector Pump Work?

A sewage ejector pump is a critical component in plumbing systems, particularly for homes or businesses with lower-level bathrooms or drains that are below the main sewer line. Its purpose is to pump wastewater, including sewage, from lower areas of the property up to the main sewer line or septic system. 

The pump is typically installed in a sump pit, where wastewater from toilets, sinks, and drains collects. Once the water level in the pit reaches a certain point, the sewage ejector pump activates, using a motorized pump to push the wastewater upward through pipes to the higher sewer line. This ensures that sewage and wastewater can flow properly and prevents backups or blockages.

How Long Do Sewage Ejector Pumps Last?

Sewage ejector pumps typically last between 7 to 10 years, though their lifespan can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the pump, the amount of use, and the maintenance it receives. Regular maintenance, such as inspecting and cleaning the pump and its components, can help extend its lifespan. Additionally, ensuring the system isn't overloaded or subjected to harsh conditions (such as flushing inappropriate materials) can also contribute to a longer life for your sewage ejector pump. 

If you notice any signs of malfunction or unusual noises, it’s a good idea to have your unit checked by a professional to prevent premature failure. Call Hey Dude Plumbing for sewage ejector pump services in Atlanta.

Signs You Need to Repair or Replace Your Sewage Ejector Pump

Over time, like any appliance, your sewage ejector pump may begin to show signs of wear and tear. Recognizing these signs early can help you avoid major plumbing issues and prevent costly repairs. 

Signs you need to repair or replace your sewage ejector pump include:

  1. Frequent cycling - If your pump is turning on and off more frequently than usual, it could be a sign of an issue with the pump’s components or a clog in the system.
  2. Unusual noises - If your sewage ejector pump starts making strange sounds, like grinding, rattling, or humming, it could indicate mechanical failure, a jam, or worn-out parts.
  3. Sewage backups or slow drains - When sewage backs up into your drains, toilets, or basement, the pump is not effectively pushing wastewater to the sewer line.
  4. Foul odors - A persistent, foul smell around your pump or in your basement could indicate that the pump is not working properly, leading to waste buildup or clogs in the system.
  5. Water damage or overflow - If you notice standing water or signs of water damage near your pump, this could signal a leak or that the pump is not effectively moving wastewater.
  6. Old age - If your sewage ejector pump is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, it may be time to replace it, even if it's still functioning. Over time, wear and tear can cause more frequent breakdowns.
  7. Visible damage - Any visible cracks, rust, or physical damage to the pump or the sump pit can indicate that replacement is necessary, as these issues can lead to pump failure or leaks.

If you notice any of these signs, contact a licensed plumbing professional from Hey Dude Plumbing to assess your sewage ejector pump. Timely repairs or replacement can save you from more significant plumbing issues down the line.

    "They were professional and courteous and made a bad situation bearable."
    I was having an issue with my water heater that was only four months old. Jeremy came out and knew what the problem was only my description. He did additional checks, ordered the parts, and did a reset to get the water to heat. Highly recommend!
