At Ortiz Plumbing and Drain Cleaning, we specialize in installing, maintaining, and repairing sewer ejector pumps. We use high-quality Little Giant pumps and equipment, as well as Saniflo products. Sewer ejector pumps are necessary for homes and businesses where plumbing fixtures are located below the level of the main sewer line, like in basements or lower floors. These pumps ensure that wastewater is removed from your property in a safe and efficient manner.
What is a Sewer Ejector Pump?
A sewer ejector pump pumps wastewater from areas lower than the main sewer line. This can include sewage from toilets, sinks, showers, and other plumbing fixtures. Without an ejector pump, gravity alone cannot push the waste out of your home or business, leading to potential backups and plumbing issues.

Why Do You Need a Sewer Ejector Pump?
Suppose your home or business has bathrooms, laundry rooms, or other plumbing fixtures below the level of the sewer main. In that case, a sewer ejector pump is essential to transport wastewater uphill. Sewer ejector pumps are especially useful in homes with finished basements or commercial properties with complex plumbing systems.
Why Choose Little Giant and Saniflo Products?
We select Little Giant for our sewer ejector pump installations due to their reputation for dependability and durability. Similarly, Saniflo products offer innovative solutions for adding bathrooms or other fixtures without extensive plumbing work, making them excellent for basements or areas where traditional plumbing isn’t feasible.
How Does a Sewer Ejector Pump Work?
A sewer ejector pump is installed in a sump basin where all the wastewater from lower-level fixtures accumulates. When the wastewater reaches a specific level in the basin, the pump is automatically activated, pumping the waste to the main sewer line or septic system.
Here’s a breakdown of the components and how they work:
- Sump Basin: This is where wastewater collects before being pumped out. It’s usually installed below the floor in the lowest part of your building.
- Float Switch: The float switch monitors the water level in the basin and activates the pump when it reaches a certain level.
- Pump (Little Giant or Saniflo): We use reliable brands like Little Giant and Saniflo to guarantee effective wastewater removal. These pumps handle harsh environments and provide long-lasting solutions.
- Discharge Pipe: This pipe directs the wastewater from the pump to the main sewer line or septic tank, providing safe and efficient removal.
