Ejector Pumps

Ejector Pumps

A sewer ejector pump is used to pump sewage from a basement or lower level of a building to the main sewer line. Like a sump pump, regular maintenance and cleaning are important to ensure the ejector pump operates properly.

Here at The Plumbing Department, we’ve been helping Chicago area homeowners to install, repair and replace sewer ejector pumps for over 20 years.

In general, an ejector pump is designed to last between 3-5 years with proper maintenance and care. But like anything else in the home, they are susceptible to breakage.
