Sewage ejector pumps use a motor and impeller to push wastewater from lower levels of the home up into the sewer or septic system. These pumps are essential when plumbing fixtures like toilets or showers are located below the elevation of the main sewer line. Depending on your system, ejector pumps may handle greywater, blackwater, or both. If connected to a toilet, the pump must be capable of processing raw sewage and solids.
If you’re dealing with a failing ejector pump, don’t waste any time. Call Asheville, NC’s sewage ejector pump experts at 828-708-7107. Raw sewage inside the home can pose major health risks and require expensive cleanup and repair. Choose My Plumbers LLC, and let us handle the dirty work.
Differences between sump pumps and sewer ejector pumps
Sump pump and sewer ejector pumps both operate in lower lying areas of the home. They look similar and are both housed in small basins in the basement floor. However, sump pumps deal with groundwater, and sewer ejector pumps handle wastewater and greywater from basement toilets, sinks, showers, and appliances. While greywater doesn’t contain human waste, it may contain other contaminants, such as cleaning products, hair, and bits of food.
Sump pumps are necessary for basements and crawl spaces in areas prone to flooding due to a high water table or heavy rainfall. Sewer ejector pumps, on the other hand, are necessary if you have water-consuming appliances in the basement or lower level of your home.
Ejector pump basins are generally sealed with a lid, and those handling greywater or human waste have a vent pipe attached to the lid to allow the venting of sewer gasses. Ejector pumps have discharge pipes that run into the sewer line and then into the municipal sewer or private septic tank.

My Plumbers did an outstanding job! When our injector pump broke, my husband and I were in a tight spot. We called numerous plumbers but either got no response or were told they couldn't come for two weeks.
My Plumber answered immediately and arrived within the hour. He was extremely knowledgeable and worked swiftly to fix the problem before our guests arrived that evening. We were highly impressed with the quality of service and look forward to working with them again!
