When your sewer lines can't rely on gravity, you need a pump!
And Grinder Pump Gurus can make sure that pump - whichever type is best for your situation - keeps your waste flowing in the direction in needs to go... away from your home.
All sewage pumps move waste to the sewer main when gravity is not able to do so. The Sewage Ejector Pump is the first and most common of those options. It simply pumps what is flushed down your drains to the sewer main.
A grinder pump first grinds the waste into a slurry before pumping it to the sewer main. Whether you require a grinder pump or ejector pump will be determined by what you need to flush. We can help you decide.
A lift station houses a sewage pump (and some other equipment, like controls) to lift sewage from low elevation to high elevation. They're for when the system is located below the main or the main is below the treatment facility.
