Talking about Sewage and Sump Pumps!

Imagine someone who has just rebuilt his/her home and is now facing something that looked like a very simple change caused due to a sewage pumps installation in his/her basement. He/she had probably done it for directing all of the basement’s sanitary waste into the main sanitary drain. Now imagine that unfortunately the builder had made a big mistake and decided to install the new concrete slab a little lower than the level of the existing old floor. As you must have guessed by now, it would have resulted in having to lower all the drains in the basement.
Only when this job would be completed, it would be possible to install any of the sewage pumps.

However, after about a month and once every month post this incidence the pump would constantly break down. Nevertheless, you should understand that the Issue would have nothing to do with the pump installed. The issue was more about what was being sent into the given sewage tank.

Something to learn here is that usually, in residential applications, the sewage gets pumped from a sewage basin or to a sewer system or even to a septic tank sometimes. Sewage pumps should always be installed at the lowest point of the given sewage basin. Also, the basin in itself should be placed below or at the floor level of the particular basement.

Another important question to be addressed is ‘how long will sewage pumps last?’. Well, that depends on various factors. One of the important factors is how often and how long the sewage pump is running for & in what conditions. It is natural that pump most suited for given condition will  last as long compared to pump in other conditions.

Therefore, it is very important to know about sewage submersible pumps, before using them. 

Now that we’ve talked a little about sewage pumps, let’s talk about sump pumps.  

When it comes to sump pumps, flooding becomes the number one reason for its requirement in a house. So, when we talk about homes that have water issues in the basement, we also acknowledge the problems beyond water like rot, mold, rust and even unhealthy air to breathe. This is when the use of sump pumps becomes absolutely necessary. 

There are many other things that one needs to know about sewage pumps as well as sump pumps. However, this blog gives a small idea about both of them.
