Ejector Pump Specialists

Basement Plumbing Requires the Right Pump

Any bathroom, laundry room, or utility sink located below the main sewer line requires a sewage ejector pump to push waste up and out to the city sewer. When an ejector pump fails, the result is sewage backing up into your basement — one of the most unpleasant and health-hazardous plumbing emergencies a homeowner can face.

Aqua Tech installs and services ejector pumps in homes, apartment buildings, and commercial properties. Whether you are finishing a basement and need a new ejector system installed, or your existing pump has stopped working, we provide same-day service throughout the northwest suburbs.

Ejector Pump FAQ

A sewage ejector pump moves waste and water from plumbing fixtures that are located below the main sewer line — most commonly basement bathrooms, basement laundry rooms, and below-grade utility sinks. Gravity alone cannot move waste uphill to the street sewer, so the ejector pump grinds and pressurizes the waste to push it up through a discharge pipe to the main drain. Without a functioning ejector pump, any basement fixtures connected to it will back up.

Warning signs of a failing ejector pump include: slow drainage from basement fixtures, gurgling sounds from the ejector pit, sewage odor in the basement, the pump running constantly or not turning on at all, or water pooling around the ejector pit lid. Do not ignore these signs — a failed ejector pump results in sewage backing up into your basement, which is both a health hazard and a costly cleanup.

A sump pump removes groundwater and rain runoff from a sump pit — it handles clean or lightly dirty water. An ejector pump handles actual sewage and waste from plumbing fixtures. The two systems are separate and serve different purposes, though both are typically found in basements. Ejector pumps are sealed systems with vent stacks and check valves, while sump pits are typically open. We install and service both.

Yes — we design and install complete ejector pump systems for new basement bathroom additions. This includes the ejector pit, pump selection for your flow requirements, check valve, vent pipe to code, and discharge line connection to your main drain. We pull the required permit from your municipality and have the work inspected. Call us for a free estimate on your basement finish project.
