Sewage Ejectors

When a basement bathroom backs up or sewage smells start coming from a lower-level drain, the problem is often a failed ejector pump. These pumps move waste from below-grade fixtures up to the main sewer line, and when they stop working, sewage has nowhere to go. Florida’s high water table puts extra strain on ejector systems, making regular wear and failure more common than homeowners expect. HL Plumbing installs, repairs, and replaces sewage ejector pumps so your lower-level plumbing works the way it should.

This service covers everything related to your sewage ejector system, from the pump itself to the pit, float switch, and discharge line that keep it running.

  • Sewage ejector pump replacement with a properly sized unit for your fixture load
  • Float switch repair or replacement when the pump won’t cycle on or off correctly
  • Ejector pit lid sealing to stop odors from escaping into living spaces
  • Discharge line repair when backpressure or clogs prevent waste from moving to the main line

If the issue is with a sump pump that handles groundwater rather than sewage, that’s a separate system and a different repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

The warning signs are hard to miss. You'll notice slow drains in your basement bathroom, gurgling sounds from the pit, bad sewage smells near the pump, or water backing up where it shouldn't. If you hear the pump running constantly or not running at all, call HL Plumbing at 407-717-6035 before it turns into a bigger mess.
Raw sewage will back up into your basement or lower-level bathroom. That means contaminated water on your floors, damage to walls and flooring, and a serious health risk for anyone in the home. The longer you wait, the more expensive the cleanup gets.
Replacement costs vary depending on the pump size and how easy it is to access the pit. Most homeowners in the Orlando and Apopka area pay between $800 and $1,500 for parts and labor combined. Call us at 407-717-6035 and we can give you a clear number after we see what you're working with.
If your basement bathroom or laundry sits below the main sewer line, gravity alone won't move waste out of your home. A sewage ejector pump is what forces it up and out to the city line. Without one, you simply can't use those fixtures safely.
We serve Apopka, Orlando, and the surrounding Central Florida area, so we can usually get to you the same day. A failed sewage ejector is not something we treat as a routine call. Reach us at 407-717-6035 and we'll get someone to you fast.
