Ejector pump replacement
Dead, dying, or undersized pump? We size the replacement for your fixture load and head height, set it in a properly sealed basin, and test it under real conditions — not just a quick on-off.
Sewage & ejector pump services
When wastewater has to go uphill
Basement bathrooms, below-grade laundry rooms, guest suites under the sewer line — they all depend on one hardworking pump. We install, repair, and maintain sewage ejector pumps and lift stations across Austin and Marble Falls.
What we service
The pump your plumbing depends on
A failed ejector pump isn't an inconvenience — it's a sewage backup waiting to happen. We treat these systems with the urgency they deserve.
New installs & lift stations
Adding a bathroom below the sewer line? We design the whole system: basin, pump, check valve, venting, and alarm — permitted and inspected to code, so your new bathroom is a pleasure, not a liability.
Alarms, floats & maintenance
High-water alarms, float switch replacement, check valve service, and basin cleanouts. The cheap components that prevent the expensive disasters — inspected and maintained on a schedule.
Don't learn the hard way
The alarm is not optional
Here's what we see too often: a below-grade bathroom with an aging pump and no high-water alarm. The pump dies quietly, and the homeowner discovers it when sewage backs up through the shower drain. A $150 alarm would have given days of warning. If your ejector system has no alarm, that's the first thing we'll recommend — before the pump, before anything.
Dealing with a backup right now? That's an emergency — call immediately. For main-line issues upstream of the pump, see sewer line repair.

FAQ
Pump questions, answered
What is a sewage ejector pump and do I need one?
If any plumbing fixture — a basement bathroom, a laundry room, a bar sink — sits below the level of your main sewer line, wastewater can't flow uphill to reach it. A sewage ejector pump collects that wastewater in a sealed basin and pumps it up to the sewer line. Any below-grade bathroom or fixture group needs one; without it, you'd have standing sewage.
How do I know my sewage pump is failing?
The alarm going off (if you have one — and you should), sewage smells from the basin, the pump running constantly or not at all, slow draining from the fixtures it serves, or water backing up into the lowest drain. A failed ejector pump is urgent: wastewater has nowhere to go but back into your home.
What's the difference between a sump pump and a sewage ejector pump?
A sump pump moves groundwater — it keeps basements and crawlspaces dry. A sewage ejector pump moves wastewater from plumbing fixtures up to the sewer line. They're different pumps for different jobs, with different basins, seals, and code requirements. We service both, but they are not interchangeable.
How long do sewage ejector pumps last?
Typically 7–10 years depending on the pump quality and how hard it works. Hard water, grease, and 'flushable' wipes (which aren't) shorten pump life considerably. If your pump is approaching that age, a planned replacement beats an emergency one — sewage backups don't wait for business hours.
Should I have a backup or alarm on my sewage pump?
Yes to the alarm, absolutely — it's cheap insurance that tells you the pump has failed before sewage backs up into the house. Battery backups exist for ejector systems but are more complex than sump backups; we'll assess your setup and recommend what makes sense for your risk level.
