Laundry and Wet Bar Ejector Pumps in Richmond, CA
Below-grade laundry rooms and wet bars produce gray water that still needs to be lifted to the sewer line. A smaller ejector or laundry tray pump can handle washer discharge and sink drainage. We install a lint filter where needed to guard the pump. These systems are compact and can often be installed without major floor demolition.
Basement Bathroom Ejector Systems in Richmond
Basement bathrooms sit below the building sewer, so toilets, showers and sinks drain into a sealed basin instead of flowing by gravity. We excavate the floor, set a basin typically 30 to 50 gallons and connect each fixture drain. A solids-handling pump lifts waste up and into the main drain line. The basin lid is sealed and vented to keep odors from escaping.

Ejector Pump Alarms and Backup Options in Richmond
A high water alarm is essential on any ejector system because a failure can rapidly lead to sewage backup. We install audible alarms or Wi-Fi monitors that send alerts to your phone. Strong winter storms can bring days of heavy rain to Northern California, saturating ground and pushing water into basements and sewer lines. Storms can knock out power, so we can discuss generator connections for critical installations. These safeguards are inexpensive compared with sewage cleanup.
