#Sewage ejector pump clogged install

if not airtight then you can plan on having sewage odors develop over time and that is both yucky and a health hazard! Be sure to make the pit air-tite.Ģ) The plumber should have told you what I tell ALL my customers that I install sewage ejectors for. Insurance company tells me that if this keeps happening, I will either be dropped from coverage or my rates will skyrocket.ġ) The pit should absolutely be AIRTIGHT. How do I tell if the system design is bad? Is the pump a bad pump? Plumber says you can't flush tampons, which may be true, but was news to every female my wife has asked. Should the basin have leaked? I saw water/sewage going back in the pump from the side. Nothing in the Owner's manual (which I received today) says anything about not flushing certain items or clogging up. I am concerned because this is a new powder room to be used by visitors and I don't want this to happen again. My wife swears there were not more than 2 tampons flushed. This new system is less than 2 months old. Carpet, drywall and baseboards had to be removed and will have to be replaced. Contractor came to house to investigate and removed the submersible sewage pump and pulled out a wad of white paper from underneath and said there was a tampon in there which clogged up the pump causing the basin to overflow (because it blocked water from going through the pump).

Last weekend, the basin overflowed and sewage leaked throughout my basement. I was told that this was necessary because otherwise the PVC pipe would have been in the way. The contractor installed a basin and sewage ejector pump in order to get the waste from the toilet and the water from the washing machine and sink to the sewer line. The sewer line exits out the floor of a walk out basement in the middle of the house. Among other things, we added a toilet and washing machine to one side of the house. I just finished remodeling almost all of my house.
