\n <\/div>\n What Is a Sewage Ejector Pump?<\/h2>\n
A sewage ejector pump helps move water and waste away from sinks, toilets, showers, and other drainpipes that sit lower on the property than the main line.<\/p>\n
The pump collects this waste in a tank and pushes it up toward your main sewer line. At that point, gravity helps it flow to the city line or septic tank.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n
\n\n\n\nWhat causes sewage pump failure?<\/i><\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\nMost pumps fail because:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Homeowners bypass the float switch for long periods with direct power: <\/strong> The float switch activates the pump when the fluid reaches a certain level. If it stops working, homeowners can bypass the float switch to supply direct power to the pump. However, the issue comes with running your pump all the time, which will cause premature motor failure.<\/li>\n
- Homeowners run the pump continuously with blocked discharge lines:<\/strong > Most clogs can be pushed through by running the pump longer, but if you have a major backup, you should shut off the pump and call a plumber. Otherwise, your pump will continue to run for long periods, leading to overheating and motor failure. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Both put additional stress and wear and tear on the pipe, which will cause it to fail. It\u2019s important to pay attention to your sewage pump and don\u2019t hesitate to schedule service.<\/p>\n
