A sewage lift pump is used to transfer sewage liquids and solids from one place to another. Usually, in
residential applications, sewage includes soft solids up to 2″ in diameter is pumped from a sewage basin to
a sewer system or a septic tank. A sewage lift pump in Muskegon, Whitehall, Holland, Grand Haven,
Allendale, Twin Lake, and Coopersville is installed at the lowest point of the sewage basin. Since the
pump is submerged most of the time, it is also referred to as a submersible sewage pump. Sewage lift
pump can be automatic, manual or dual mode. A dual-mode pump contains a piggyback plug, which
allows the pump to be used as either manual, wherein the pump bypasses the switch and is plugged in
directly into the socket or as automatic, wherein the pump is plugged in through the floating switch and
works only when the switch is activated. Due to a possibility of sewage overflow, it is generally not advised
to use a manual sewage pump inside of a sewage basin.

Sewage lift pumps are centrifugal pumps, with special design enabling solids to pass without clogging he
pump. When the pump is turned on, the motor starts to rotate the impeller, creating the pressure that
pushes water into the impeller and goes into the discharge pipe. The sewage pump is powered through a
10-25 ft. electric cord. Depending on the model, the voltage can be 115, 230, 460, or 575 volts. The pump
housing, which contains a motor and an impeller, is made with cast iron and is built for long term use.

Benefits of Sewage Pumps
The sewage lift pump is designed to remove water build-up from basements and crawlspaces and safely
deposit it through the wastewater system of a house. The operation of a sump pump is relatively simple,
although their installation is more complicated.

Here the major benefits of having a sewage pump:
• Prevent flooding damage – When heavy rains trigger a flood of water into your basement, you can
quickly have 15 inches of floodwater covering the floor and damaging almost everything inside, which can
be especially devastating if you store valuable items in the basement. With a working sump pump, this
disaster can be averted easily.

• Reduce the threat of mold and mildew – Continual dampness inside a basement from water in stagnant
pools will contribute to the growth of mold and mildew. Not only are these both damaging to building
material, but they are health problems as well.

• Reduce the risk of fire – The water will short-circuit the appliances in the basement, such as laundry
machines, water heaters, and heating systems. So, aside from ruining these valuable appliances, water
can also create a fire danger. A sump pump will keep the water from threatening equipment that could
trigger household fires.
