What Are Sump Pumps and Ejector Pumps?
Sump Pumps
Sump pumps are designed to prevent flooding by removing water that collects in your basement or crawl space. Water is directed into a sump pit, and the pump automatically activates to discharge the water away from your home or business.
Ejector Pumps
Ejector pumps, also known as sewage pumps, handle wastewater and solid waste from lower-level plumbing fixtures like bathrooms and laundry rooms. They are essential for properties where gravity alone cannot move waste to the main sewer line.
Both types of pumps play crucial roles in protecting your property from water damage and maintaining the functionality of your plumbing system.
Signs You Need Sump Pump or Ejector Pump Services
Your sump pump or ejector pump may need professional attention if you notice:
- Unusual Noises: Loud or grinding sounds can indicate mechanical issues.
- Frequent Cycling: Pumps that turn on and off too often may have a faulty float switch.
- Failure to Activate: If your pump isn’t working during heavy rain or water usage, it may need repair or replacement.
- Water Backup: Standing water in your basement or near fixtures suggests your pump isn’t functioning properly.
- Odors: Unpleasant smells can indicate clogs or mechanical failure in an ejector pump.
Don’t wait until a pump failure leads to significant damage. Contact Flotek Sewer & Drain for expert pump repair services in Northwest Indiana and Chicago Southland.
