Commercial Ejector Pit & Sump Pump Services Manhattan NY

A sewage ejector pit pump or sump pump is a submersible pump installed in the lowest point of your building, designed to prevent flooding. It channels groundwater into a perimeter drain system installed at the base of the building’s foundation. Perforated pipes allow water to flow in, and the sump pump then re-routes the water to the nearest storm drain, retention pond, or dry well.

The last thing a business owner needs to deal with is a flooded facility. Ejector pit pump maintenance should be performed at least once per year. Failing to routinely test the functionality of your sump pump can put your Manhattan commercial property at risk for water damage. During heavy rainstorms, it’s especially critical that your sump pump is in proper working condition.

Working with sewage ejector pumps is not something the average business owner should tackle. Specialized tools and skills are needed for this kind of work, and it can also get messy pretty fast without the proper training and knowledge. There are also sizing issues and local codes to consider.

Fortunately for those working and living in the NYC area, our sewage ejector pump experts at Citywide Sewer and Drain are always available to help. Not only are our trained experts experienced with sewage ejector pump installation, repair, and maintenance, but they are also fully versed in all local codes and requirements.

How A Sump Pump Works

When water reaches a pre-set level, it sets off a float switch which triggers the sump pump to engage. At this point, the sump pump begins removing water into a nearby storm drain, outdoor area, or well. Sump pumps are generally hardwired to your electrical system or plugged into a wall outlet but are typically equipped with battery backup power in case these power sources fail in a storm. Sump pumps should be outfitted with battery-powered water-level alarms to help ensure you’re given a warning about potential flooding, should the pump start to malfunction or overflow.

The Two Types of Sump Pumps

  • Pedestal. Mounted above the sump pit, providing convenient access for service and periodic testing.
  • Submersible. Sits in a sump pit (or well) and remains out of sight.
