A sewage ejector pump is a crucial component in modern plumbing systems, especially in homes where the bathroom, laundry room, or any other plumbing fixture is located below the main sewer line grade. This system ensures that wastewater from these lower areas can be efficiently pumped up to the sewer line or septic tank, thus maintaining a clean and hygienic environment in the property.
Without a properly functioning sewage ejector pump, wastewater from toilets, sinks, and showers in these lower levels cannot be efficiently moved to the sewer or septic system, leading to potential health hazards and inconvenience.
Our team at Mr Flow Plumbing is well-versed in the complexities of sewage ejector pumps. We understand that each installation must be tailored to the specific needs of the property, considering factors such as the size of the building, the amount of wastewater generated, and the distance the waste needs to be pumped.

One prevalent issue with sewage ejector pumps is clogging. This can occur when items that are not meant to be flushed down the drain end up in the system, leading to expensive sewage pump repairs. These can include sanitary products, diapers, wipes, and other non-biodegradable materials. Over time, these items can accumulate and block the impeller, preventing the pump from operating efficiently. Regular maintenance and cautious use of toilets and sinks can help prevent this problem.
Another common problem is power failure or electrical issues. Sewage ejector pumps rely on electricity to operate. A power outage, faulty wiring, or an issue with the pump's electrical components can cause the pump to stop working. Installing a backup power source, such as a battery backup or a generator, can provide an interim solution during power outages. Routine checks by a professional can also ensure that the electrical components of the pump are in good working condition.
Lastly, wear and tear of the pump's mechanical parts can also lead to failures. Like any mechanical device, components of the sewage ejector pump such as the switch, impeller, or seal can wear out over time, leading to leaks or the pump failing to activate. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn-out parts can help extend the life of the pump and prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Addressing these common issues promptly can help ensure that the sewage ejector pump continues to function effectively, preventing sewage backup and maintaining the hygiene and convenience of your home.
