Sewage Grinders & Pumps
Why might you need a sewage grinder or pump…
If your home has a septic system, sewage grinder and pump installs are a necessity. Homes with septic systems have a specific process for treating wastewater, which involves collection and storage in the tank, as well as digestion by bacteria and water flow through perforated pipes to eventually be dispersed into the soil surrounding the home. If a septic system is not working properly, it can cause backups in toilets, drains or even sewage geysers erupting from sinks or toilets. This can be very expensive to fix, so it’s a good idea to have a qualified plumber evaluate your system periodically.
With a sewage grinder, you can actually grind down waste matter that cannot be moved by a regular drain pump, allowing you to safely dispose of it at street level instead of storing it in your basement or elsewhere on your property until it evaporates away. A grinder also reduces odor associated with backups by grinding down cooking grease or food waste so that it doesn’t build up within your pipes or sump well if not disposed of properly when cooking foods like meat (which causes odors).
