The short answer
Here in Eugene, OR, a sewer or sewage ejector pump is what gets wastewater from a basement line or any low-lying plumbing fixture up to the septic tank or main sewer. The unit sits in a sump pit or basin and uses a motor and float switch to force sewage through check valves and discharge lines. If the pump or one of its parts gives out, or if the pit and float were installed wrong, the result can be backed-up water, slow drains, strange odors or noises, and even signs of groundwater intrusion.
The Value of a Professional Diagnosis
What appears to be an ejector pump on the fritz may in fact be a clogged sewer line, a bad check valve, or damage to the pipes. A licensed plumber can make the proper call and steer you toward a repair, a new pump, or a line cleaning, so you are not replacing something that does not need it.
An electrical and pump check rules out the motor, float, or discharge lines as the culprit before any parts are changed.
Hydro jetting or drain cleaning clears obstructions and grease, and sewer camera work pinpoints where any blockage or damage lies.
Telling When There Is a Problem
01
Basement drains backing up — Drains in the basement or on lower levels are backing up or running slow.
02
Noise from the pump or pit — The pump, motor, or pit is making noise it should not be.
03
A sewage smell — A sewage odor lingers in the basement or around the pit.
04
Tripping breakers — Circuit breakers on the pump’s electrical side are tripping with some regularity.
05
Standing wastewater — There is standing wastewater in the basin or in nearby fixtures.
Options for Repair and Replacement
01
Sewer camera before we start — We put a camera in the line first so the issue is clear before any repair begins.
02
Hydro jetting and drain cleaning — Used to restore proper flow when grease or debris is in the way.
03
Sewer line repair and replacement — Repair or replace the line, with excavation when the job calls for it.
04

06
Repiping — Get rid of old galvanized pipe that is prone to failure.
07

When to Make a Call
Complex drainage or ejector work is best left to a journeyman or licensed plumber with the right tools to examine the whole system.
An inspection that includes testing the pump and a look with a camera will tell you if the trouble is with the line or the pump itself. It is worth asking about warranty options and maintenance plans so the fix is one that will last.
Reasons to Go With Precision Plumbing
01
Put in for a professional inspection at the first sign of odors or a slow drain, so the root of the matter is found early.
02
A diagnostic on the pump, float, and line with a camera is the best way to decide on a repair path before any work is done.
03
Licensed journeyman plumbers handle the diagnosis, so you get an honest read on whether to repair, replace, or maintain the system.

I had an apparent water leak outside near my back door, the water meter indicated a 10 gal/hour leak. Montana with Precision Plumbing arrived within an hour of my call. He immediately noticed a hose bibb 20 feet away leaking a slow, steady stream. The water had run underground, under a concrete slab and surfaced 20 feet away. Tightened down the hose bibb handle and verified the leak had stopped by checking the water meter. Thanks Precision, I’ll definitely use you in the future.

Friendly, professional, did a great job re-lining our sewer so that we didn’t have to dig up the yard and remove our nice cedar tree. Cleaned up everything so you couldn’t tell anything happened. Enjoyed working with Precision.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the work done by Precision Plumbing! Our technician, Roy, was efficient, professional and friendly! We had a faucet replaced and he took extra care to check for leaks and said we could call if we had any concerns. Clogged drain was cleared as well! Very pleased with the cost of the service.
