But wanted to get some advice first before taking off the lid. then just do the plumbing and then cement the pit into place before it. if you make it a tight fit it aint going anywhere. then cut a stud to fit between the flat 2x4 and the ceiling joysts above you. I'm no plumber and have never dealt with my pit before. put the pit in the hole, fillit up with water, then lay a 2x4 flat across the pit. I've cleaned up that pipe up but there is still a bit of water sitting in the seal and around the lid of the pit. Basement bathrooms are lower than the house main sewer line. The unit then shall have that sewage entering the pit shall be carried to the strainer baskets installed in pump discharge lines. The sewage ejector pit pump or sump pump is used to move the groundwater into a perimeter drain system, usually installed at the base of your buildings. Would water still be sitting in the pipe where there would be water? It's not dripping down but I've cleaned it up and wiped it dry and just a little water returns around the seal. I would start by making sure that the lid to the sewer ejector pit is sealed with no openings into your living space. Most basement bathrooms have a sewage ejector pump (aka lift station). The sewage ejector tank and the pump are designed to temporarily store sewage prior to comminution/maceration and/or discharge directly to a sewer. Do I just take off the bolts and remove the lid? Also I'm a little concerned about the water leaking down the pipe though. This type of sewer pump, typically found in basements, is needed when a bathroom or major plumbing fixture was installed below the sewer line level. An ejector pump is useful whenever gravity is working against your pipes. This can occur when a toilet is in the basement, for example, and sits below the homes main sewer line. Its purpose is to push waste and wastewater uphill when necessary. I'm wondering if the pump stopped working? I am guessing I need to take the lid off the pit to really see what's going on. Ejector Pump Installation Services Although ejector pumps aren’t necessary in all homes, they serve an essential purpose in the homes where they are necessary. An ejector pump is part of a plumbing system. Also water seems to be coming up and around the area where the pipe comes out of the pit and collecting around the top of the pit. The pipe that carries the water seams to be leaking out of a seal where 2 pipes connect. The pit has a sealed lid with 2 pipes coming out of it. it seems the smell is coming from this area. In my utility room I have a sealed ejector pit which also has a drain next to it where the furnace/AC drains to. It took me a little bit to figure out where it was coming from.
I was in my basement yesterday and noticed a slight sewer smell.
