Frequently asked questions
What does a sewage ejector pump do?
It moves wastewater and solids from fixtures located below the main sewer line, like a basement bathroom or laundry, up to where gravity can carry them to the sewer. Because those fixtures cannot drain downhill on their own, the pump is essential. Without it, a below-grade bathroom in your Hot Springs home simply will not drain.
What causes a sewage ejector pump to fail?
Flushing wipes, hygiene products, or other items that should not go down the drain is a leading cause, along with motor wear, stuck floats, and failed check valves. A bad check valve lets waste flow back into the basin, making the pump work overtime. Careful use and periodic checks help these pumps last.
Do sewage ejector pumps smell?
A properly installed one should not. The basin needs to be sealed and vented correctly so sewer gases go up the vent rather than into your home. If you notice odors, it usually means a seal, vent, or the pump itself needs attention. We can find the source and correct it so your space stays odor-free.
