Ejector Pump Repair and Replacement in Hanover Park, IL
An alarm sounding in the basement, a basement toilet that won't flush or a sewer smell near the pit. We repair and replace ejector pumps in Hanover Park homes. Our office is on Greenbrook Boulevard. Open 24/7.
The Basics
What an Ejector Pump Does
Fixtures below the sewer line, like a basement bathroom or laundry, drain into a sealed basin. The ejector pump lifts that wastewater into the main line. A float starts it and a check valve stops water from falling back. If one part fails, those fixtures back up.

Is It the Pump or the System?
When basement fixtures back up, the pump gets the blame, but it's not always the pump. A stuck float keeps a good pump from starting. A failed check valve lets water fall back so the pump runs nonstop. A clogged vent makes the basin gurgle and smell. Wipes wrapped around the impeller can stall it. We open the basin, test each part and replace only what failed. If the pump is old and worn, we'll tell you that too.
