216-677-2707Sewage Ejector Pump Repair & Replacement in University Heights, OH
Keep your basement bathroom, laundry, and bar sink draining — repaired or replaced fast.
If your basement has a bathroom, laundry, or bar sink below the level of the main sewer line, a sewage ejector pump lifts that wastewater up and into the sewer. When it fails, those fixtures back up into the basin and the basement fast. On Our Way Plumbing repairs and replaces sewage ejector pumps, grinder pumps, basins, floats, and alarms for homes and light commercial properties throughout Greater Cleveland.
Common failures include stuck or tangled float switches, worn-out motors, failed check valves that let waste flow back into the basin, clogs from wipes and other items that shouldn't be flushed, and broken or unsealed basin lids that let sewer gas into the basement. We diagnose the system as a whole, not just the pump. A proper installation has a sealed, gas-tight basin lid, a vent piped to the vent system, a check valve and a shutoff valve on the discharge line, and a high-water alarm so you know there's a problem before the basement does.
When replacement makes more sense than repair, we size the new pump for your fixture load and the vertical lift to the sewer, choosing a solids-handling ejector or a grinder pump as the application requires. We remove and dispose of the old pump, set the new unit, test the float cycle, and confirm the discharge is tight. You get a free quote and our workmanship warranty. Call 216-677-2707 for sewage ejector pump service in University Heights and Greater Cleveland.
Why University Heights Residents Choose On Our Way Plumbing
University Heights gets its name and much of its identity from John Carroll University, the Jesuit institution that has anchored this east side community since 1935 when it relocated from the west side of Cleveland. The campus's Gothic architecture and manicured grounds set the tone for a city of about 13,000 residents who value education, community, and well-kept neighborhoods. The Cedar Road corridor and Warrensville Center Road intersection form the city's commercial heart, while the tree-lined streets off Silsby Road and Fenwick Road are home to a mix of long-time residents, young families, and rental properties popular with students and faculty — properties where plumbing issues need to be handled quickly to keep tenants happy.

Sewage Ejector Pump Repair & Replacement in University Heights — FAQ
A sump pump removes groundwater from around your foundation. A sewage ejector pump handles wastewater from toilets, sinks, and laundry below the sewer line and must use a sealed, vented basin. They are not interchangeable.
Usually a loose or unsealed basin lid, a missing or damaged gasket, or a problem with the vent. Ejector basins must be gas-tight and vented. We can reseal the lid and check the vent connection.
Wipes (even ones labeled flushable), paper towels, feminine products, grease, and dental floss are the usual pump-killers. They wrap around the impeller or jam the float. Only toilet paper and human waste should go down the toilet.
