Sump pump and ejector pump installation and repair
Pumps that keep a basement dry, or lift basement drains up to the main. Installed, replaced and repaired.
A sump pump moves groundwater out of a basement pit. An ejector pump lifts waste from a basement bathroom, laundry or kitchen up to the main drain. Shane installs, replaces and repairs both. The jobs below are ejector pumps he has set.
What we handle
A sump pump that has failed
Shane checks the problem and discusses repair or replacement of the pump and its discharge.
A new sump pump
Shane reviews the basement setup, the pit and where the discharge goes, then discusses which pump suits it.
Laundry or a living space in the basement
When the main drain sits higher than the fixtures, an ejector pump lifts the waste up to it. On one job a Liberty 404 let a basement living space have its own laundry, so the customer no longer climbs two flights of stairs to wash clothes.
An ejector pump with a seized motor
On one bathroom ejector the motor had seized, and the drain leaked where it met the basin, so sewage backed up and leaked under the foundation. Shane replaced it with a new Liberty Pro 370.
A fixture below the drain, outdoors too
An outdoor pool bar sink was finished with a Liberty ejector pump.
Questions homeowners ask about sump and ejector pumps
What is the difference between a sump pump and an ejector pump?
- A sump pump removes groundwater that collects in a basement pit.
- An ejector pump lifts waste water from basement fixtures up to the main drain.
If you are not sure which one you have, send a photo of the pit or basin and the pump.
How do I know a pump has failed?
Common signs are a pump that hums without moving water, one that runs constantly or does not start, standing water in the pit, or a basement fixture that drains slowly or backs up. If the basement is already flooding, call and see the emergency page.
For a faster quote. Send with your request: a photo of the pit or basin and the pump label, what the pump is doing, and what drains to it (bathroom, laundry, sink).
