Why Santa Clara Homes May Require Sewer Ejector Pumps
In Santa Clara, sewer ejector pumps are essential for properties where plumbing fixtures—like toilets, sinks, or laundry systems—are located below the city’s main sewer line. Many Santa Clara homes built on sloped lots, especially near the Old Quad or the Central Park neighborhoods, often experience drainage issues due to elevation differences.
You might need a sewer ejector pump if:
• Your basement or ADU is below the main sewer line
• You experience sewage backups in your downstairs bathroom
• You’re adding new plumbing fixtures in a basement remodel
• You need a reliable system to move wastewater uphill to the sewer main
The system includes an ejector pit, float switch, discharge pipe, check valve, and vent pipe. The float detects rising water, triggering the motor (usually ½ to 1 HP) to discharge waste through a pipe while preventing any backflow. Santa Clara’s city codes require proper venting and backflow prevention—both of which are standard in our installations.
Repipe Champions Plumbing and Rooter Inc. provides fast, code-compliant installations that meet all local Santa Clara regulations.
