Reliable Sewage Pump Replacement Services

Understanding Sewage Pump Replacement

Sewage pumps are an essential part of any home’s plumbing system. They serve a vital role in moving wastewater out of your home, whether to a municipal sewer line or septic system.

Homes with basements, lower elevations or septic systems rely on sewage pumps to properly evacuate wastewater. As these hardworking pumps age and start to fail, it can lead to serious issues like:

Blocked drainage: Without sufficient lift from a pump, drainage slows down and eventually becomes blocked. Drains back up, toilets don’t flush fully, and laundry wastewater has nowhere to go.

Sewage backflows: As drainage backs up, wastewater can actually backflow out of pipes, drains and toilets, flooding basements, bathrooms and utility rooms. Sewage backflows pose serious health risks and cause extensive property damage.

Foul odours: With wastewater backing up and unable to evacuate, noxious sewage odours increasingly permeate your home, often sickening occupants. These invasive smells are difficult to eliminate until the pump issue is resolved.

Flooded basements: If wastewater builds up enough due to blocked drainage, it can overflow pipes and drains, inundating basements and lower levels with contaminated sewage floodwater. Basement flooding from failed sewage pumps costs thousands to remedy. Tap Tech’s solutions for basement flooding, including sump pump repair/replacement, will ensure the area remains dry and is well-protected moving forward.

Complete sewage pump replacement is the only solution when an existing pump starts to fail. Our certified technicians perform thorough inspections to properly size a new pump for your specific needs. They then install the replacement pump along with all associated discharge, vent and electrical components.

Comprehensive testing ensures the new sewage pump is operating properly with no leaks or issues. Once installed, a new pump can typically provide years of reliable service—but only if properly sized, installed and maintained from the start.
