Frequently Asked Questions

A sump pump handles clear groundwater to prevent flooding, while an ejector pump handles wastewater and solids from basement bathrooms or laundry rooms, pushing it up to the main sewer line.

Foul odors usually mean the seal on your ejector basin is loose, the vent pipe is clogged, or the check valve has failed. Our team can quickly diagnose and seal the system to eliminate the smell.

We highly advise against it. Even wipes marketed as flushable can easily jam the impeller blades of an ejector pump, leading to a burned-out motor and a messy backup.

A high-quality, properly maintained ejector pump usually lasts between seven and ten years. If your pump is getting older and making strange noises, it is a good idea to have it inspected.
