Sump Pump & Ejector Pump Repair/Replacement

Sump pumps and sewer ejector pumps are common features in many homes, specifically those with basements and crawl spaces. Sump pumps keep groundwater out of your basement or crawl space and sewer ejector pumps move wastewater from sinks and toilets in your basement. As these pumps keep water and sewage out of your basement, it’s important to keep them in good working order.

Whether it’s for your sump pump or your sewer ejector pump, Aspen Plumbing is here to help. We’ll take a look at your sump pump or sewer ejector pump and make any necessary repairs. We can also replace them when they’ve reached their lifespan.

Why do I need a sump pump or sewer ejector pump?

For homes with a basement, crawl space, or lower level, these pumps move water out of your home. Whether you need them or not depends on your home’s specific design.

Sump pumps are necessary if you live in a place with heavy rainfall or a high water table. These factors increase the risk of flooding in your home’s lower level. A sump pump will move any groundwater from your basement uphill, keeping the lower level dry.

Sewer ejector pumps are important for homes with bathrooms, showers, and other appliances that use water in your home’s lower level. As these appliances create wastewater, the water can’t move up to the main sewer line on its own. The sewer ejector pump pushes the water upward, preventing sewage from building up in your basement. 

What happens if my sump pump or sewer ejector pump fails?

When your sump pump fails, it can lead to significant flooding in your basement. Groundwater and rainwater won’t be able to exit your basement, which can cause property damage as it leaks into your basement.

When your sewer ejector pump fails, any sewage created in your home’s lower level will back up into your home. This is a health hazard that requires extensive cleanup. 

How do I maintain my sump pump or sewer ejector pump?

Your sump pump should be cleaned regularly to keep it in good working condition. Ejector pumps require less maintenance, though you should check them occasionally to make sure no debris has gotten stuck in the pump.
