If your home’s plumbing sits below the street level — or you’ve got a basement bathroom or a detached garage — gravity alone can’t carry wastewater where it needs to go. That’s where sewage pumps come in.
At B&C Plumbing, we install and repair grinder pumps, ejector pumps, and full sewage pumping systems across Huntsville and North Alabama. Whether you’re building new, replacing an old unit, or responding to an alarm that won’t stop screaming, we’ll make sure your plumbing keeps moving in the right direction — up.
Think of it as a helper for your plumbing. When waste can’t drain downhill, a sewage pump system moves it uphill to the main sewer line.
You’ll usually find one in:
If your property’s got an uphill climb, you need a pump that can handle it.
Installing a sewage pump isn’t a quick “plug and play” job. It has to be sized, placed, and wired perfectly — because one small mistake can burn out a pump or flood a basement. Here’s how we handle it:
1. Evaluate the Site
We measure how far and how high the pump needs to move waste (called the “lift”), and how many fixtures feed into it.
2. Select the Right Pump
We work directly with manufacturers to get the correct horsepower and model for your layout.
3. Install, Wire & Test
We handle everything from digging and plumbing connections to electrical tie-ins (if power’s already available).
4. Set the Float Switches
These control when your pump turns on and off. We make sure every float switch is positioned and tested for smooth, reliable operation.
Most replacements take about four hours. A full sewage pump installation — like for a new basement bath or outbuilding — usually takes a day.
You get:
If your sewage pump quits, you’ll know. The alarm will sound, or worse, wastewater will start backing up where it shouldn’t.
Here’s what we fix most often:
Most calls we get are simple — a float switch replacement, a reset, or a component repair. But if the system’s burned out or outdated, we can retrofit a new grinder pump or ejector pump into your existing basin.
Just like your HVAC system or water heater, a sewage pump performs best when it’s serviced regularly.
Our yearly maintenance service includes:
It’s a quick, low-cost visit that helps prevent messy, expensive emergencies — especially in homes with high groundwater or frequent pump use.
Grinder or not, they’ll jam it up.
It’s there for a reason — a running pump can burn out in hours.
One strike can fry the electronics.
Modern pumps are reliable, quiet, and simple to maintain — especially when installed right the first time.
