What is the Difference Between an Ejector Pump and a Sump Pump?

We were just discussing this over dinner the other day…NOT! Just in case, you may have noticed that these two pumps look pretty much the same. The truth is, most of the time sump pump and ejector pumps are installed right next to each other. And yet you should not confuse the two because they do entirely very different jobs.

We hope that this is a simple explanation. A sump pump is useful for removing flood water from your basement or crawl spaces. Otherwise, it will just sit there in puddles until it finally evaporates. An ejector pump is also very important. Without one, you won’t be able to remove waste water from the basement to the septic tank or sewer.

And here we are…a company that services and replaces sump pumps and ejector pumps. We have been known throughout this century in the Fox Valley as Bee Plumbing. Why the word Bee? Well, ask us when you call the phone number listed on our website that best applies to your area in the central or southern Fox Valley. That address is bee-plumbinginc.com.
