How far can an ejector pump push sewage?

• <div><p>Ejector pumps can only push sewage 750 feet or less. That’s because their purpose is to move waste from your home to your sewer line—which is a relatively short distance. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-grinder-pump.htm">Grinder pumps</a> can transport sewage further, but they manage lower volumes of waste than ejector pumps (and they don’t work with septic systems).</p></div>

What are the most common plumbing problems in mobile homes?

• <div><p>Some of the most common plumbing problems in mobile homes are frozen pipes, leaking pipes, clogged drains, and low pressure. Since the pipes in a mobile home aren’t as insulated as those in a standard build, they’re more susceptible to fluctuating temperatures and damage. </p></div>

Q: What will I see on the sewer video inspection?

• <div><p>Even with a high-resolution camera, what you're looking at on the screen may not be recognizable to the untrained eye. Your plumber should be willing to walk you through the video and explain what they found. With high-res images, bright lighting, and self-leveling technology, you should get clear, steady views of the pipes that make up your plumbing system.</p></div>

Q: Why is raw sewage coming up my drain?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re not using a septic system, problems with your home&rsquo;s plumbing won&rsquo;t cause this&mdash;it&rsquo;s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately. </p></div>

Your city is responsible for any clogs or damage to the main line itself. </p></div>
