Sump Pumps

A sump pump is designed to remove unwanted water. Sump pumps are commonly used in basements, crawl spaces or inside buildings set at low elevations where surface or ground water can enter and cause flooding.

Sump pumps are typically installed at the lowest elevation of a basement or crawl space in order to be the most effective. Sump pumps may be installed in a sump pit, which is a lower space created in the floor where unwanted water is directed and then removed by the pump.

Sump pumps are designed to remove water only, and are not designed to pump solid material.

If you have a home or a basement restroom with drain lines that are built lower than the outside street elevation, then you’ll need a Sewage Ejection Pump.

Sewage Ejection Pump
Sewage ejection pumps are designed to remove sewage and waste solids from your home. If your home has plumbing drains for fixtures such as toilets, showers and bathtubs – that are lower than the sewer line for the building, then you’ll need a sewage ejection pump.

The sewage ejection pump is designed to pump sewage and waste water from these lower elevation drain lines to higher ground to a septic tank or municipal sewer line. When you need repair or replacement of your sewage ejection pump, it is important to hire a qualified plumbing contractor to properly size and install the right pump to serve your needs.

Most sewage ejection systems are designed with a high water alarm, to alert the homeowner in the event the pump has failed or is operating improperly. To avoid unexpected pump failure, Bonney recommends annual maintenance of your sewage ejection pump.

Improper sizing of a sewage ejection pump can result in unreliable performance, inconvenience for your household and unnecessary expense. Sewage ejection pump equipment, if not properly sized or installed can cause the pump to work much harder than it should. This can result in a shortened operating life for the pump, causing the unit to fail or burn out entirely.

Bonney’s professional plumbers will properly size and install a durable sewage ejection pump that fits your needs and delivers many years of reliable, worry-free performance.


Sewage Ejection Pump Maintenance

Sewage ejection pumps perform a tough job and play a vital role in removing effluent from your home. To keep your sewage ejection pump system in good working order, Bonney highly recommends having the pump serviced at least once each year.

Bonney’s Sewage Ejection Pump Maintenance Service includes: checking and testing the high water alarm for proper functioning, cleaning and inspecting check valve(s) as well as inlet and outlet connections. Regular annual maintenance will help ensure reliable performance from your pump, and help avoid costly repairs, equipment failure and premature replacement of your sewage ejection pump.
