They look alike sitting in a basement pit, but they do two different jobs.
Sits in a pit in the basement or crawlspace floor and pumps rising groundwater out of the house before it floods.
Pushes wastewater from a basement bathroom, laundry or sink up to the sewer line, because it can't drain downhill on its own.
A sump pump only matters when it's raining. That's exactly when you find out it's broken.
Sump pumps keep groundwater out of basements and crawlspaces. Sewage ejector pumps lift waste from a basement bathroom or laundry up to the sewer line. When either one fails, water backs up fast.
We diagnose the pump, the float switch, the check valve and the discharge line, then repair or replace what failed. Many homeowners add a battery backup so the pump keeps running in a power outage.
Every job is done to code and to the manufacturer's specifications by licensed, trained plumbers, backed by a 30-day labor warranty plus the manufacturer's parts warranty.

Testing, backups and when to replace.
Yes. Our plumbers repair and replace sump pumps, sewage ejector pumps, float switches, check valves and discharge lines, and install battery backups.
Pour a bucket of water into the pit. The float should rise, the pump should start, empty the pit and shut off on its own. If it hums, doesn't start or keeps running, it needs attention.
Groundwater keeps rising in the pit and spills onto the basement or crawlspace floor, often during the heaviest rain. A high-water alarm or a battery backup gives you warning and time.
It's a pump that lifts waste from a basement bathroom, laundry or sink up to the main sewer line when those fixtures sit below it. If a basement toilet or drain backs up, the ejector pump is often the cause.
Every repair is done to code and to the manufacturer's specifications by licensed, trained plumbers. It's backed by a 30-day labor warranty, plus the manufacturer's warranty on any new parts.
