Your home’s septic system includes a SEWER EJECTOR PUMP.

Sewer ejection pumps are typically installed in basements that have bathrooms or laundry rooms below the sewer line.   They pump waste into the main septic line.  Your owner’s manual is a good resource, and a licensed professional should check your sewer ejector pump regularly.  There are a few things that you can do to help extend the life of your sewer ejection pump.

The top of the sump basin should be sealed properly so that no waste or smell can be emitted.  If the seal is not tight and effectively sealed, please consult with a professional.

TOILET PAPER ONLY

Toilet paper is the only thing that you can safely flush.

  • AVOID Flushing…
  • FLUSHABLE WIPES!  – NO WIPES!
  • COFFEE GROUNDS
  • EGG SHELLS
  • PRODUCE STICKERS
  • FEMININE HYGIENE PRODUCTS
  • PAPER TOWELS
  • RAGS
  • SOLVENTS, PAINTS, TURPENTINE, NAIL POLISH, POLISH REMOVER
  • FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES
  • CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES THAT ARE EITHER ACIDIC OR CAUSTIC
  • PRESCRIPTION AND OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATION 
  • GREASE (This includes your garbage disposal).  Grease can harden and stick to pipes and can eventually lead to blockages.

Your man did a very good job. He called to let us know when he was coming. He got the truck down the hill and into the yard skillfully. It couldn't have been easy. Very good. See your company again in a couple of years, I stick with what works.

I want to extend my gratitude to Ernesto and Francisco.  They were extremely professional and did not mind me watching them work as I was interested in learning about my septic system.  They explained what they were doing and I would have them out at my house again should the need arise (let’s hope it doesn’t).  You have some top notch employees.
