Sewage Ejector Pump Replacement in Rochester
Basement bathrooms and laundry rooms below the sewer line need sewage ejector pumps instead of sump pumps. These pumps handle solids and must be installed in sealed, vented basins. We replace ejector pumps with models rated for two inch solids. We also check the basin seal, vent and discharge check valve. Proper installation stops sewer gas odors.

If your current sump pump struggles to keep up with heavy water flow, especially during intense thunderstorms, it may be undersized.

This prevents the pump from cycling too often or failing under stress, common issues in some Rochester properties.
