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 should I consider when installing a sewer backflow preventer?

• <div><p>Be sure to consider how often you may need access to your pipes in the future. This can help you decide if you want to install a basic PVC backflow preventer or spring for a clear or removable one. </p><p>If you think you’ll need access to your plumbing often, or if your pipes have a history of problems, it’s probably worth spending a little more for something you can look into without removing the backwater preventer.</p></div>

Q: How far can an ejector pump push sewage?

• <div><p>Ejector pumps can only push sewage 750 feet or less. That&rsquo;s because their purpose is to move waste from your home to your sewer line&mdash;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&rsquo;t work with septic systems).</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>

Q: Why does my crawl space smell like a sewer?

• <div><p>A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor. </p></div>

Q: What other projects should I do at the same time as installing a sewer backflow preventer?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ll be digging up your floor to get access to your pipes when putting in a sewer backflow preventer, this would also be a good time to take care of any other plumbing issues or renovations. For example, you could install additional pipes for a basement bathroom. Since the floor will be sealed over with concrete when you&rsquo;re done, now&rsquo;s a good time to take care of those bigger tasks.</p></div>

Now our original gas line installer is supposed to move the gas line to where we want. I apologize for the inconvenience, our contractor is getting the installer to move it to the desired location. Your pro was great and I would recommend him to anyone.
