Ejector pump installation is a unique service that’s carried out during the construction of a bathroom on the lower level of your home. Typically, your main sewer line will be situated on the main floor of your home, and if you build a bathroom underneath that floor, you’ll need the pump to eject the raw sewage up to meet the main line so that it can be carried away from your home. Sewage ejector pump installation can also be considered part of a replacement. If you have an existing pump that has broken or is very old, we can remove the old one before installing a brand-new unit.
On average, a home will get up to ten years of use from its ejector pump, but they’ll need to make sure regular maintenance is completed. Not sure where to start when it comes to ejector pumps? We can help. We have extensive experience in their installation and can help you find the right one for your home. It’s important that you pick the type of pump you would like before the basin is dug, as it will need to sit inside it snugly. If you already have a pit, we’ll need to look at it before recommending viable options. In terms of your options, most of your decisions will be based on which material you would like to choose.
Typically, you have the following material options:
- Aluminum
- Cast Iron
- Thermoplastic
Be on the lookout for technical characteristics such as the horsepower and gallons per hour of the pump as well. Keep in mind that ejector pumps live in wastewater. That means the more durable they are, the longer they’ll last. After hearing about your needs and budget, we’ll give you an array of options to choose from, then we’ll get on with the installation. As mentioned before, if you do not have a pit already, we will need to dig one and seal it correctly so that no odors escape into your home and the indoor air quality of your home is preserved.
