The Basement Bathroom Depends on This Pump
A basement bath, laundry sink, or finished lower level sits below the sewer main, so waste has to be pushed up rather than carried down. Hendriks Plumbing provides Sewage Ejector Pump Repair and Installation in Worcester, MA, and surrounding areas, keeping those systems sealed, vented, and moving as they should. When an ejector pump quits, the fixtures it serves become unusable almost immediately, and what comes back up is not water.
Call Hendriks Plumbing at (508) 341-9620 if your ejector pump has stopped. We take emergency after-hours calls for sewage backups.
Signs the Pump Is on Its Way Out
Ejector pumps rarely fail without a hint. Gurgling from a basement fixture, a basin that stays full after the cycle, longer run times, or a persistent sewer odor near the lid all point at the same system. That last one usually means a seal or vent problem rather than the motor, and it is worth addressing quickly because those gases do not belong in a finished basement.
Repairs and Installations We Handle
These systems combine a sealed basin, a pump, a check valve, and a vent, and trouble can start at any one of them. Our work includes:
- Diagnosing pumps that run continuously or refuse to start
- Replacing worn impellers, seals, and burned out motors
- Servicing float switches and basin level controls
- Repairing check valves that let waste drain back into the basin
- Sealing basin lids and correcting venting problems
- Installing new ejector systems for basement baths and laundry rooms
On new installations, we size the pump for the fixtures it actually serves and set the discharge line so solids clear the run instead of settling somewhere in it.
Related work includes Lift Station Pump Repair, Sump Pump Repair and Replacement, Water and Sewer Line Repairs, and Emergency Plumbing Repairs when a backup is already underway.
Get the Lower Level Working Again
Sewage backing into a finished basement is a problem that grows expensive by the hour. A working ejector pump is a modest piece of equipment standing between routine use and a very costly part of your house.
