An ejector pump moves sewage from a basement to a gravity sewer line. It is generally a small basin with a black lid and an electrical hookup. It is likely located inside a utility room. These are important in most residential houses with a basement. It appears like a sump pump, but the main difference is that it pumps sewage.
If the ejector pump fails, it causes flooding of raw sewage or water, which creates various health hazards.
There are three main reasons the pump will not run. Firstly, the pump itself might be bad. Secondly, the piggyback float might not be working as it should. Lastly, the electrical outlet that the pump plugs into could be defective.
