At 24/7 Plumbing Co., LP, we install, service, and replace sewer ejector pumps that keep your plumbing system running smoothly when gravity cannot. Homes and businesses with bathrooms, laundry rooms, or basements below the main sewer line rely on these systems to move wastewater safely out of the building. Without a properly working ejector pump, waste can back up, causing unpleasant and unsanitary problems.
A sewer ejector pump is necessary any time plumbing fixtures sit below the level of the main sewer or septic line. Because gravity cannot carry waste uphill, the pump collects wastewater in a sealed basin and pushes it through a discharge pipe to the proper drain line. You will often find these systems in basements, lower-level bathrooms, or garage additions.
For properties in Katy and the surrounding areas, sewer ejector pumps are especially important where terrain or construction layout prevents a natural downhill flow. A properly sized and installed pump ensures your plumbing drains efficiently and prevents backups.
Not every sewer ejector pump includes a macerating or grinding feature. Standard ejector pumps move wastewater that contains small solids, while grinder pumps break down waste into a fine slurry before pumping it out. Grinder pumps are typically used in systems with longer discharge runs or smaller-diameter piping, where clogs are more likely to occur.
Our team at 24/7 Plumbing Co., LP will help you determine whether your system needs a grinder pump or a standard ejector model. Factors such as the distance to the main sewer line, elevation change, and plumbing configuration all play a role in that decision.
Like any mechanical system, sewer ejector pumps need occasional maintenance. The most common problems include float switch failure, debris buildup, worn impellers, and clogged discharge lines. If the pump runs constantly or makes unusual noises, it may be struggling to move waste efficiently.
Another frequent issue is a faulty check valve, which allows wastewater to flow back into the basin. Regular inspection and cleaning can prevent these problems from turning into emergencies. Our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair ejector pumps quickly, minimizing downtime and protecting your property from damage.
A professional installation begins with evaluating your plumbing layout and selecting the right pump size for your needs. The process involves setting a sealed basin into the floor, connecting all inlet and discharge lines, installing the venting system, and wiring the pump to a dedicated electrical circuit.
Once installed, the system is tested to ensure the float switch, check valve, and discharge line operate correctly. 24/7 Plumbing Co., LP follows all local codes and safety requirements, ensuring your ejector pump is reliable and built to last.
If you are replacing an older unit, we will inspect the basin and piping for signs of wear before installing the new equipment. Proper installation and setup are critical for preventing leaks, odors, and premature failure.
Whether you need a new sewer ejector pump, emergency repairs, or routine maintenance, our team has the tools and experience to handle the job. We use high-quality equipment and proven methods to keep your plumbing system working safely and efficiently.
