Sump Pump & Sewage Ejector Pump Service in Bessemer, AL

Alabama gets heavy spring storms and the occasional tropical downpour, and our red clay soil drains slowly. Homes with basements, low crawlspaces or a high water table rely on a sump pump to push groundwater away before it floods. Homes with a bathroom or laundry below the sewer line rely on a sewage ejector pump. When either one fails, you find out the hard way. We install, repair and replace both, with alarms and backups so you are warned before there is water on the floor.

• The pump runs constantly, cycles on and off quickly or never runs.
• Loud grinding, rattling or humming.
• Water in the pit that does not go down.
• Visible rust or a stuck float switch.
• The pump is more than 7–10 years old.
• A sewage smell near an ejector pump basin.

We size the pump for your pit and water volume, install a check valve so water does not run back, route the discharge away from the foundation and test the float. Repairs include new float switches, check valves, discharge lines and replacing burned-out pumps.

Storms knock out power exactly when a sump pump is needed most. A battery backup pump or a water-powered backup keeps working when the power is out or the main pump fails. A sump pump alarm sounds – or sends a message to your phone – when the water in the pit rises too high, so a failed pump is a phone call instead of a flooded basement.

Ejector pumps lift wastewater from basement bathrooms, laundries and lower-level fixtures up to the sewer line. We replace failed ejector pumps, sealed basin lids, check valves and alarms – one of our customers called us when an old pump failed, and we removed it and installed a new ejector pump the same visit. A failed ejector pump is a sanitary emergency, so we answer 24/7.
