Basements are an excellent space for storage, laundry, and additional living quarters. However, basements have a more significant chance for flooding than the rest of the home. To prevent floods and water damage, installing a sump pump can be the deciding factor between your home and standing water.

What Are Ejector Pumps?
Ejector pumps are systems that pump water from inside a basement laundry room or bathroom to an outside source. The ejector pump has a sealed lid on the basin and a vent pipe for sewer gases. All of these materials are pumped into a sewer line for disposal.
The purpose of an ejector pump is to collect waste water and dump it to an outside source via a sanitary sewer line. Waste water from the washing machine, the toilet, and the sink are all collected in this pump's system.
This prevents waste water from flooding and causing water damage to the foundation and inside the home. It is also a sanitary measure as waste is not allowed to hang around and cause a health hazard.

What's the Difference Between Ejector Pumps and Sump Pumps?
Ejector pumps operate and often look the same as sump pumps, but their purposes differ. Ejector pumps are intended for wastewater—they deliver water into the sewer line. On the other hand, Sump pumps collect groundwater and pump it onto the lawn or the municipal sewer system.
Sump pumps are used to protect against flooding, while ejector pumps work as part of the plumbing system to keep wastewater flowing properly. Both pumps work together to protect your home from flooding and unsanitary waste from surfacing.
