Sewer Ejector Pumps
Hutto, TX
Common Maintenance and Repair Issues
We frequently encounter these sewer ejector pump issues:
- Clogs from non-flushable materials like wipes, hygiene products, or grease
- Float switch failures, which prevent the pump from activating
- Check valve malfunctions, causing waste to flow back into the basin
- Pump motor burnout due to overuse, lack of maintenance, or improper sizing
- Odor or venting issues when systems are not sealed or vented correctly
Regular maintenance and proper use go a long way in extending your system’s life and avoiding costly repairs.
The Installation Process of a Sewer Ejector Pump
When you hire Premium Rooter, our sewer ejector pump installation process typically includes:
- Site Evaluation – We assess the layout and elevation of your plumbing system.
- Basin Excavation – We dig a basin to house the ejector pump below floor level.
- Pump Installation – The pump is installed inside the basin, along with a check valve and vent connection.
- Discharge Line Setup – We connect piping that routes waste to the main sewer or septic system.
- Electrical & Vent Hookups – We ensure proper wiring, power supply, and air venting for odor control.
- Testing & Inspection – We run the system and check for proper operation and sealing.
Why Sewer Ejector Pumps Are Different From Sump Pumps
While sewer ejector pumps and sump pumps may look similar, they serve very different purposes. Sewer ejector pumps are designed to handle both liquids and solid waste, moving sewage from lower levels of a home to a higher elevation sewer line.Â
In contrast, sump pumps are used only to remove groundwater or rainwater to prevent basement flooding. Ejector pumps are built for heavier-duty waste handling, require airtight basins, and are connected to the sewage system rather than just storm drainage.

Plumbing Problems?
How Do I Shut Off the Water?
As a homeowner or tenant, knowing how to shut off the water is critical in cases of emergency. Most structures have a main shutoff valve located on the ground floor (e.g., garage, basement, or closet) and another near the street or well (often underground). In case of a leak, shutting off the water immediately can prevent further damage and reduce costs.
