When you have a bathroom or other facility beneath the grade, sometimes you need to move the sewage up to the level of your drains for it to leave your system. In these cases, you need a sewage or grinder pump to handle the issue.
Though a sewage pump replacement can seem stressful, it’s much easier when you work with the right upstate or western New York contractor. At Lagana Plumbing & Heating, we have extensive experience stretching back over 75 years, and we can handle your grinder pump replacement with all of that expertise.
Generally speaking, a sewage pump is used to move sewage waste to your septic tank or sewer line as it is when it enters the pump, needing a line between 1.5” and 3”. If you have this space in the walls, it’s pretty easy to run this type of line.
By comparison, a grinder pump is a type of sewage pump that also uses cutting blades to pulverize the solids in the water into much smaller pieces, making it easier to discharge into smaller lines of 1.25” to 2”. This allows you to still remove waste from your basement spaces when space is at a premium.
Though we’d love to give you a single, straight answer, the simple fact is that it depends on a number of factors. How much sewage will need to be moved? How shallow are the wall cavities? Will it handle a single toilet or an entire apartment?
The one cost you can count on is Lagana’s reasonable rates and fast work speed. Because we only hire experienced professionals, you may pay a slightly higher rate per hour compared to some, but our experience means the work is done faster, saving you money in the long run.
When you work with Lagana Plumbing & Heating, you can rest easy knowing that you’re getting fast, effective results. Why not contact us today to see how we can help you with your grinder or sewage pump replacement?
