Sewer Ejector
Pump
Installation

Adding a bathroom or laundry below your main sewer line? A sewer ejector pump lifts waste up to the drain system โ€” making below-grade plumbing possible in basements, ADUs, and hillside homes throughout LA.

What Is a Sewer Ejector Pump?

When Gravity Is Not
Enough

Standard drain systems rely on gravity โ€” waste flows downhill to the sewer main. When a bathroom or laundry sits below the sewer line, you need a pump to lift waste up to where gravity takes over.

๐Ÿš๏ธ
Basement Bathrooms
The most common application in LA โ€” adding a bathroom, laundry, or wet bar to a basement level that sits below the sewer main. The ejector pit collects waste and pumps it up to the drain stack.
๐Ÿ 
ADU Conversions
Garage conversions and basement ADUs frequently encounter below-grade plumbing situations. We handle ejector pump installation as part of full ADU plumbing packages.
โ›ฐ๏ธ
Hillside Properties
Some LA hillside homes have portions of the structure lower than the sewer lateral. Ejector systems resolve this without costly utility line relocation.
๐Ÿ”ง
Macerator Pumps (Saniflo)
For tight spaces where a full ejector pit is not feasible, macerators grind waste and pump it through a small-diameter line โ€” less excavation, less disruption.

Pump Replacement

FAQ

Ejector Pump FAQ

A macerator for a single toilet runs $800-1,500 installed. A full ejector pit with concrete saw, liner, and pump runs $3,000-6,000+ depending on depth and scope. Upfront flat-rate quotes provided after site assessment.
Yes โ€” ejector pump installation requires a permit and inspection in Los Angeles. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and ensure code compliance.
Quality pumps from brands like Zoeller last 7-15 years with proper maintenance. Annual float checks, alarm testing, and discharge line inspection extend pump life significantly.
A functioning pump makes a noticeable motor sound when running. Grinding, screeching, or continuous running when fixtures are not in use are signs of a problem โ€” float switch failure, debris in the impeller, or a failing motor.
