The Difference Between Sump and Sewage Pumps

Sep 13, 2024

By webfx

Sump pumps and sewage pumps can sometimes look the same, but they have very different functions in a plumbing system. While one transports sewage, the other moves surplus water. 

Residential sump pumps move excess water from basements, preventing flooding. They are not meant to transport raw sewage — only the gray and clear water discharged by sewage effluent pumps. Sump pumps play a vital role in ensuring basements remain dry and hygienic.

Sewage pumps, also called ejector pumps, collect and remove sewage from a property. They move the sewage from a lower-level area to a higher-level area, such as from underneath bathrooms to the home’s main sewer line. The sewage is then transported to the city line.
