At Puget Sound Septic, we offer outdoor sewer ejector pump services in King County WA. We handle maintenance, repairs, and installations for sewer ejector pumps. Our expert technicians can diagnose and fix just about any outdoor problems with your sewage ejector pump.
A reliable sewage ejector pump is essential when your main sewage line is higher than the lower plumbing pipes. These pumps lift waste from toilets and other fixtures that are below the main sewer line. For most homes, a sewage pump that can handle up to 20 feet of lift to a gravity sewer is sufficient. And for businesses, you may need a system that handles more.
It’s important to note that we do not service basements. You will have to call in a plumber to service anyplace indoors.

Sewage ejector pumps pump raw sewage from a building’s lower level to the main sewer line. They handle “grey” or dirty water and limited raw, solid sewage.
Grinder pumps grind up solids and pump them into a pressure sewer system or septic tank. They can handle more than raw sewage, including flushed trash, and any other raw sewage larger than ¾ inch in width without getting clogged.
Ejector pumps grind waste and lift it from lower levels to sewer lines. Injector pumps use water pressure to dispose of sewage. Ejector pumps are also generally more expensive than injector pumps.
Sewer ejector pumps can last seven to ten years if maintained well. We recommend regular maintenance services so you can worry about one less thing for your sewage system.
