When to Install a Sewer Ejector Pump in San Jose Homes

In San Jose, many homes with finished basements or plumbing located below the main sewer line require a sewer ejector pump. These pumps are designed to move wastewater from toilets, showers, sinks, or laundry rooms uphill to the city’s sewer main. They’re particularly common in neighborhoods with older or sloped infrastructure.

You might need a sewer ejector pump if:
• You’re finishing a basement with a bathroom or laundry area
• You notice slow drainage or backflow from lower-level fixtures
• Your plumbing sits below the street-level sewer main
• You’re adding plumbing in an ADU or home expansion with elevation differences

Ejector pumps use a sealed basin, a float switch, and a powerful motor (typically ½ to 1 HP) to pump waste through a discharge line. A check valve prevents backflow, and a vent pipe ensures gases are safely expelled.

Whether you’re remodeling or fixing a drainage issue in your San Jose property, Repipe Champions Plumbing and Rooter Inc. ensures a code-compliant, hassle-free install every time.
