Is your sewage ejector pump not working properly?

Although you may only need repair service, if your pump continues to give you problems, replacing it altogether may be the most cost-effective option. Our ejector pump replacement specialists at Perfect Home Services will assess your needs, letting you know the best course of action.

If you do need a new pump, we’ll install it for you correctly, helping prevent future issues.

Reasons Why Your Ejector Pump May Need to Be Replaced

You can’t wait very long to address the issue if your sewage pump stops working.

This device serves to remove wastewater from the home when plumbing fixtures were installed below the point where the main sewer line connects to the house. If it stops working, that wastewater will accumulate. Your home could sustain serious water damage if that happens.

Perhaps more importantly, occupants of the house might be exposed to bacteria-filled wastewater.

If you notice any of the following issues, contact a professional. It may be time to replace your ejector pump.

Numerous Repairs

Again, there may be instances when you only need to repair your pump, and not necessarily replace it entirely. However, if the pump is constantly breaking down, requiring frequent repair service, you may be better off replacing it. Doing so will save you a lot of money in the long run.

A new unit will work reliably and consistently for a long period of time before it needs to be repaired.

Inconsistent Performance

Sometimes, a pump will shut off before it’s removed all wastewater from the ejector pit/tank. Sometimes, it will continue to run, even after all the water has been removed. Sometimes, it will appear to run, but it won’t actually remove any fluid.

These issues may not indicate major problems if they only happen once or twice. If your pump generally tends to perform inconsistently, though, it may be time to replace it with a new one.

Why Professionals Should Handle Ejector Pump Replacement

Replacing an ejector pump isn’t always a simple task. The process involves many steps, all of which must be performed correctly, and in the correct order. Even minor mistakes could result in costly problems down the line.

For example, you need to seal the connections between the pump, the tank, and the sewer line. If you don’t, sewage could leak into the home. Fixing this kind of problem tends to be more expensive than simply having a new pump installed by experienced technicians.
