What is a Sewage Pump?
Sewage pumps, sump pumps, and grinder pumps are all designed to help manage water and waste in your home, but they each serve different purposes.
A sewage pump is used to transfer wastewater containing solid waste from your home to a septic system or a sewer line. Sewage pumps are typically installed in homes where the plumbing system is below the level of the main sewer line, such as in basements. These pumps help transport both liquids and solids from your home’s sewage system to an external collection point, preventing the buildup of waste and potential overflows.
A sump pump, on the other hand, is designed to prevent basement flooding by collecting and pumping out excess water that accumulates in a sump basin. Its primary purpose is to protect your home from water damage due to heavy rainfall or a high water table. Unlike sewage pumps, sump pumps are only meant to handle water and are not designed to process solid waste.
A grinder pump is a type of sewage pump that has an additional feature – it grinds solid waste into smaller particles before pumping it out. This helps prevent clogs in the sewer lines or septic system. Grinder pumps are often used in situations where the wastewater contains a higher concentration of solids, or when the waste needs to be pumped over long distances or uphill.
Sewage pump installation is an essential consideration when adding new fixtures or appliances, such as a bathroom, toilet, shower, or washing machine, in a basement or any area situated below the height of the sewer line. In these situations, gravity alone is not sufficient to transport wastewater away from your home. Installing a sewage pump becomes necessary to ensure the proper and hygienic disposal of waste.
A sewage pump helps transfer wastewater from lower-level plumbing fixtures to your home’s septic system or main sewer line. It is designed to handle both liquids and solid waste, making it suitable for managing waste generated by bathrooms, toilets, showers, and other appliances.
When installing a sewage pump, several factors need to be taken into account, such as the pump’s capacity, type, and discharge method. It is crucial to choose the right pump based on your specific requirements and the expected wastewater volume. Proper installation is key to ensuring the longevity and efficiency of your sewage pump.
Hiring Sump Pump Gurus to handle the installation process is highly recommended. They will assess your property, determine the most suitable pump type, and correctly install the pump to comply with local codes and regulations. This will not only ensure the proper function of your sewage pump but also provide you with peace of mind knowing that your home’s plumbing and wastewater management are in good hands.
At Sump Pump Gurus, we also specialize in sewage pump replacement services, ensuring that your home’s wastewater management system functions effectively and hygienically. Sewage pumps differ from sump pumps in that they are designed to handle both liquids and solid waste, making them suitable for managing wastewater from bathrooms, toilets, and other appliances.
One of the reasons for the added expense when dealing with sewage pumps is that they handle raw sewage. Raw sewage can carry numerous diseases and pose significant health risks if not managed correctly. Our trained professionals take all necessary precautions and follow strict safety protocols to ensure the proper handling, maintenance, and replacement of sewage pumps. This helps protect you and your family from the potential hazards associated with sewage.

If your pump is more than 5 years old, we usually recommend considering a replacement. While sump pumps are typically rated to last between 7 to 10 years, the cost of maintenance and repair can add up. In some cases, it can be as much as 50%-60% of the price of a brand-new pump, including labor. So, instead of investing in costly repairs, it might be more cost-effective to simply upgrade to a newer model.
Don’t hesitate to give us a call for any sump pump concerns you might have. We’re here to help, whether it’s troubleshooting over the phone or advising on a replacement.
