Sewer & Ejector Pumps
Sewer & Ejector Pump Repair in Northern California
When a sewage ejector or effluent pump fails, it's an immediate emergency. We offer rapid response to repair or replace failing pumps — preventing costly, unsanitary backups into your home or business.
Don't Wait for a Backup
Sewage ejector pumps move wastewater from below-grade plumbing — basements, lower-level bathrooms, and commercial spaces — up to the main sewer line. When one fails, the result is a backup you can't ignore. Our team responds fast to minimize damage and get your system flowing again.
Common Ejector Pump Problems
- Pump runs but doesn't move water (clogged impeller or check valve)
- Alarm sounding or float switch stuck
- Foul odors from the basin
- Pump hums but doesn't start (capacitor or motor failure)
- Frequent cycling or running continuously
Repair or Replace?
If your ejector pump is more than 7–10 years old or has had repeated failures, replacement is often more cost-effective than another repair. We'll assess the basin, float, check valve, and discharge line, then give you an honest recommendation — never a hard sell.
Sewer & Ejector Pump FAQ
How long does a sewage ejector pump last?
A quality sewage ejector pump typically lasts 7–10 years. If yours is older than 10 and having issues, replacement is usually the better investment.
What causes an ejector pump to fail?
Common causes include clogged impellers, stuck float switches, failed check valves, motor or capacitor burnout, and grease buildup in the basin.
Can I use my plumbing if the ejector pump isn't working?
No. Any plumbing connected to the ejector pump will back up. Stop using those fixtures immediately and call for emergency service.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency ejector pump service?
Yes. Sewage backups are one of the most urgent pump emergencies. We have technicians available around the clock across the SF Bay Area.
