Sump Pump Installer

Firstly, the sewer pump is used to lift sewage pump lifts sewage to the septic or the city sewer. Because the basement bathrooms and laundry areas are below the sewer tap or septic tank a lift pump is needed to lift the sewage to dispose of it properly. Empathetically speaking they can last as little as 1 year when abused and upwards of 15 years when properly maintained. Consequently, the warning signs that your pump is malfunctioning are bubbling in the toilet bowl, sewage water flowing up from a tub or shower drain, or a backed-up toilet. Certainly, there can be an alarm installed on the control panel and that would be located near the lift pump.

Altogether, pump basins should be installed deep enough to keep the pump submerged in water. Because these pumps are submersible and are required to stay underwater to stay cool. However, most pumps we replaced were installed incorrectly because the basin was too shallow to allow the pump to remain submerged in water so we replaced them with deeper basins.
