We repair ejector pumps

 Ejector pumps that run correctly will rid homes of wastewater and/or sewage that have accumulated in the home’s basement storage basin once it reaches a specified level. If the ejector pump is not working properly, homeowners will not be able to use machines and fixtures that produce wastewater until it is repaired. Not to mention, unsanitary water will remain stagnant for far too long and unpleasant smells and bacteria will accumulate, reaching unpleasant and unhealthy levels. Therefore, it is essential for homeowners to have their ejector pumps properly maintained by a licensed plumber and repaired if needed.   For ejector pump repairs in Palatine, look no further than the professionals at Palatine Plumbing. Here in our area and throughout the northwest Chicago suburbs, there are many homes, mainly older ones, with basements featuring this style of pump. Houses are all very different in size and layout of course, and have different mechanical systems within them. We are very familiar with most of the old and newer brands of ejector pumps and how they work. Our troubleshooting techniques will start with checking the switch to see whether it is malfunctioning, as often times the switch will stop working well before the pump itself. If we replace the switch, we will have you up and running without having to replace the pump. If the problem is clearly not the switch, then we will look into other parts of the pump inside the motor housing. Depending on the model, these parts may or may not be replaceable.
   If it turns out your ejector pump is in need of replacement, we will go through all of the viable options with you. Another part of what we offer is an assessment on the right kind of pump for your living needs. Let’s say you purchased a home with only a basement bathroom feeding the ejector pump but have since had laundry machines installed down there. The wastewater flow into the sump basin for the ejector pump will be reaching its maximum level much quicker than it had for the previous occupants. The ejector pump will need to keep up with this wastewater level. We have the experience to give you the proper product replacement recommendation, should the time come where you need to replace the ejector pump. Until then, we are available for repair calls, as well as regular maintenance checks as you see fit.
