Frequently Asked Questions About Sewage Ejector Pump Installation
What is a Sewage Ejector Pump?
It is a system that lifts sewage from your home and transports it into the main sewer line. Carrying it up and away from your home's interior, this particular type of pump is one of the most important in your home. The way an ejector pump works is pretty straightforward, but it can run into some serious issues due to improper installation, lack of maintenance, and general use.
- The unit is clogged with cotton swabs or non-flushable
- The sensors or float valve is set incorrectly
- A frozen discharge line
- A poorly maintained unit
- Problems with the switches
What's the Difference Between a Sewer Ejector Pump and a Sump Pump?
Sump pumps operate similarly, but instead of deterring rain or flooding from damaging your basement floor or basement walls, sewer pumps push sewage from the lower level of your home up into your main sewer line.
On the other hand, sump pumps come as submersible pumps, pedestal pumps, or battery backup pumps for power outages. When heavy rainfall overwhelms your home’s perimeter drains (also known as weeping tile) or you have a high water level in your basement, your sump pump unit activates and begins pumping the water away from your home via a discharge pipe. If you require a new sump pump installation due to a sump pump failure, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Toronto can help.
How Do I Know I Need a New Sewage Ejector Pump Installation?
Homeowners who don’t have the documentation on their existing unit can rely on their local plumber to check its current condition. The key to avoiding a disaster such as sewage backup or water damage is knowing when your ejector is having issues or when it has reached its ten-year mark. However, there are a few distinguishing signs that point towards a broken sewage ejector pump homeowners should look out for:
- Dirty water and debris are being filtered into your toilet
- The unit has difficulties starting
- You hear the unit cycling constantly
- You hear strange sounds coming from your unit
If you’ve missed the signs and are now dealing with sewage backup or excess water that is putting your basement at risk, call us right away. Open all the windows in your home and evacuate any affected rooms. When we arrive, we’ll quickly resolve the problem to get you back into your home.
Do Sewage Ejector Pumps Need to be Cleaned?
Thinking about cleaning anything that touches sewage is not pleasant. But here’s the thing about sewage ejectors, just like any other piece of equipment in your home, it needs proper maintenance in order to work efficiently. With that said, due to their complexity, cleaning your own sewage ejector isn’t something homeowners should take on themselves. A call to your local professional plumber will see that your unit is cleaned regularly without the need to get your own hands dirty.
How Long Should a Sewer Ejector Pump Last?
Your ejector pump should last about seven to ten years when properly cared for. If you don't know how long you have had yours, schedule a call with Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Toronto. We'll inspect your unit and give you our honest opinion of whether it needs repair or replacement. Your unit can last longer than ten years, but it may also last less if not cared for properly.
How Much Does Sewage Pump Installation Cost in Toronto?
Homeowners want to ensure their sewage line is functioning properly, but they also want to know how expensive this type of service is going to be. The answer? It varies.
