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.

We have two properties, side by side (on a farm). Legacy pumped both septics with a minimal up-charge (all other Septic companies wanted to charge per septic). Legacy is a great company and we highly recommend them.

We wanted to express our pleasure at the amazing and professional service provided by Legacy. Galen was the ultimate spokesperson for the company with his extensive knowledge, friendliness, and offering such excellent advice with open and honest approaches to our options. Communication about initial meeting appointment and the time the crew arrived for the job was seamless. We barely had time to move cars around the driveway before the Legacy vehicles and equipment arrived.     And the crew.....Galen overseeing, explaining, and jumping in at every turn, Ernesto looked like poetry in motion so professionally running the backhoe, and Francisco read everyone's mind and knew where and when to offer his assistance. The job was completed with professionalism and friendliness and the yard was left with just a sodding job. Thank you for everything! You will always be recommended by us to our friends and neighbors. And Jenny, loved talking to you on the phone. You are yet another friendly ambassador for the company!
