Sewage Ejector Pump Maintenance and Installs
If your home’s plumbing system is located below the main sewer line, a sewage ejector pump is crucial for moving wastewater and sewage up to a higher level for proper disposal.
Whether it’s for your basement or a lower level, we offer professional sewage ejector pump installation, maintenance, and repair services to ensure your home’s plumbing operates smoothly. From handling replacement costs to diagnosing issues, we’ve got you covered with top-quality service for every stage of your system’s lifecycle.
How Ejector Pumps Work
A sewage ejector pump is specifically designed to pump sewage and wastewater from areas like basements or below-ground bathrooms where gravity drainage isn’t an option. When waste enters a holding tank, the pump activates once the wastewater reaches a certain level, pushing it up to the sewer or septic line.
Ejector pumps are equipped with powerful motors capable of handling solid waste, ensuring effective waste management in your home. It’s a vital component to maintain if you have plumbing installed below the main sewer line, especially in basements.
Average Cost of Replacing a Sewage Ejector Pump
An ejector pump replacement cost can vary depending on factors such as the type of pump, pipe material already present, and whether additional work is needed to install or repair the unit.
On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $800 to $1,500 for a new ejector pump, including labor. For simple repairs, the cost might be significantly lower, ranging from $300 to $700.

What's the Difference Between Ejector and Sump Pumps
When comparing an ejector pump vs sump pump, it’s important to know their distinct functions:
Sewage Ejector Pump: Designed to pump both liquid and solid waste from your home into a septic or sewer line. It’s essential for homes with plumbing systems located below the main sewer line, such as those in basements or lower levels.
Sump Pump: Primarily used to remove water that accumulates in a basement or crawlspace, typically due to flooding or excess groundwater. Sump pumps don’t handle sewage or solid waste and are focused solely on keeping your basement dry.
