sump and sewage ejector pumps

Pump Service for New Jersey Basements

A sump pump sits still for months, then has to run for six hours straight. That is when the weak parts show up. A tethered float wedges against the pit wall, an impeller packs with gravel, a tired check valve lets the same water drop back in, or the motor cooks itself after running dry. Storms take the power with them too, which is why the one night the pump matters most is often the night it has no electricity. We find the real reason yours quit instead of dropping in a new pump and hoping.

Sump Pump Replacement

Old pump out, new pump in, sized by flow at your real lift height instead of the horsepower on the box. If the pit refills in under a minute during heavy rain, you need more pump than average.

New Sump Installation

A first pit for a basement that has started taking on water: basin, pump, check valve and a discharge route chosen for how your lot actually drains.

Sewage Ejector Pumps

Repair and replacement for the pump under a basement bathroom or laundry room. Wipes and hygiene products are the most common reason we find an ejector pump clogged and dead.

Check Valves & Float Switches

A failed check valve makes the pump move the same water twice. A fouled float makes it run forever or never start at all. Both are quick fixes when caught early.

Discharge Lines & Winter Freeze-Ups

Rigid 2 inch PVC, real slope so the line empties every cycle, burial below the frost line, and a freeze relief fitting where the run sits shallow.

Sealed Pit Lids & Venting

A raw sewage pit needs an airtight, removable cover and a vent to the outside. Air admittance valves are not permitted on them, so a sealed pit that still smells usually means the venting was skipped.

Backup Pump Options

A second pump for outages, priced as an add-on. You get the honest runtime and maintenance picture before you decide.

Pre-Storm Inspection

A short sump pump service visit before the wet season: fill test, float, valve, amp draw, and a walk of the discharge line outside.

Signs Your Pump Is About to Quit

Pumps rarely fail quietly. Something usually changes weeks before the water shows up on the floor.

Runs nonstop, even through a dry week
Never kicks on while the pit fills
Cycles on and off every minute or two
Gurgling, grinding, or a hum with no water moving
Float switch stuck against the pit wall or tangled in the cord
Sewage smell around the ejector pit or the basement bathroom
Rust, scale, or standing water at the lid
The pump is past the 7 to 10 year mark
Water on the basement floor after every heavy storm

Basement utility area with drain piping where a sump pump system is installed.

Try the fill test yourself: pour about five gallons into the pit and watch. It should start on its own, empty the pit, and shut off cleanly.

which pump does what

Sump, Ejector, or Backup?

Three pumps, three different jobs. Knowing which one you have makes the call go a lot faster.

Basement taking on water? Deal with the power first.

Do not step into standing water while the power is still on. If the panel or the outlets are wet, or you cannot reach the breaker from dry ground, call your electric utility and have them cut power at the meter instead of touching the breaker yourself. Once the power is off and the area is safe, call us at 888-578-2776 and we will get a working pump back in that pit.

Sump pump

Moves clean groundwater and rain seepage. No solids, ever.
Sits in an open or loosely covered pit at the low point of the basement or crawl space.
Quits from a stuck float, a gravel-packed impeller, a failed check valve, or a power outage in the middle of the storm.
Cannot discharge into the sanitary sewer in New Jersey. It goes outside to the ground, or to a storm connection your town has approved.

Sewage ejector pump

Moves toilet waste, paper and solids up to roughly 2 inches, from a below-grade bathroom or laundry up to the main sewer line.
Sits in a sealed pit under the basement floor, fed by the fixtures above it, with a 2 inch or larger discharge line.
Quits from wipes, hygiene products and grease binding the impeller, or from a float fouled by solids.
Needs an airtight, removable cover and a vented pit. A septic system always takes an ejector pump, never a grinder.

Backup pump

Moves water only when the primary cannot: an outage, a burned motor, or a pit rising faster than one pump can clear.
Sits in the same pit as the main pump, set a few inches higher, tied into the same discharge line.
Fails silently. Batteries flatten in 3 to 5 years and give no warning until the night you need them.
Battery units push plenty of water for a handful of hours. Water-powered units run as long as city pressure holds, use city water to do it, need a backflow preventer, and will not work on a well.

New Jersey prohibits tying a sump pump into the sanitary sewer anywhere in the state, because that storm water surcharges the main and pushes it back into basements. Where the line can go is a local call: many towns require a DPW inspection or a permit for a storm drain connection, and a common rule of thumb is to end the run 10 to 20 feet from the foundation. We check your town's rule before we set the pipe.

Our 4 Step Pump Service Process

Assess

We look at the pit, the pump, the float, the check valve and the discharge line, and we test the circuit. What actually failed decides everything after this.

Recommend

You get repair and replacement both priced, with any new pump sized by gallons per hour at your real lift height. Upfront pricing before work starts.

Install

The pump is set level in the pit with a check valve above it and a weep hole so it cannot air lock, plus a sealed lid and vent where code calls for one.

Test

We run a fill test and a full cycle, watch it shut off on its own, and confirm the discharge is carrying water away from the house.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sump Pump & Ejector Pump FAQs

Straight answers on discharge rules, lifespan, cost, and what to do when the pump stops.

Where can my sump pump legally discharge in New Jersey?

Not into the sanitary sewer. That connection is prohibited statewide, because the extra storm water surcharges the sewer main and backs it up into basements. The line has to end outside, on an absorbent surface or at a storm connection your town has approved, and many towns want a DPW inspection first. A common rule of thumb is 10 to 20 feet from the foundation, pitched so the water keeps moving away from the house.

How long do sump pumps and ejector pumps last?

Plan on 7 to 10 years for a sump pump that gets basic maintenance. Sewage ejector pumps sit in the same range and can stretch further with an annual check. Run time matters more than the calendar: a pump in a wet Monmouth County basement that cycles year round wears out well before one that only works a few weeks each spring.

How do I test my sump pump?

Pour about five gallons of water into the pit, slowly, and watch what happens. The pump should start on its own, empty the pit, and shut off without chattering. Do it twice a year, check that the float moves freely, and walk outside to make sure the discharge line is open. A pump that hums but moves no water almost always has a blocked impeller.

Why does my sump pump run constantly?

Usually a float stuck in the on position, a check valve letting the same water fall back into the pit, a discharge line that is blocked or frozen, or a pit too small for a high water table. It matters, because running dry for 15 to 30 minutes can burn the motor permanently. If the floor is dry and you can reach the plug safely, unplug the pump and call us.

My ejector pit smells like sewage. Is that a problem?

A whiff when the lid comes off is normal. A steady smell in the room is not. It usually means the cover is not sealing, the vent is blocked or was never run, or the pit is not clearing and solids are sitting in it. Ventilate the space, keep the door closed, and have the pit and vent checked instead of masking the odor.

Do I need a battery backup sump pump?

Honest answer: only if your basement actually takes water when the power goes out, and here the outages tend to arrive with the same storms that make the pump work hardest. A battery unit ties into your existing discharge line and moves plenty of water, but the runtime is a few hours and the battery needs replacing every 3 to 5 years. We install them when a customer wants one, and we will say so if your money is better spent on the primary pump and the discharge line.

How much does sump pump repair or replacement cost?

We quote after we look, because the pit, the pump and the discharge work all move the number. For a reference point, national ranges put sump pump repair around $200 to $870, replacement in an existing pit around $350 to $1,000, a brand new pit and full install anywhere from $500 to $4,000, and sewage ejector pump replacement around $630 to $4,300. Those are national figures, not our prices. You get an upfront number from us before anything starts.

Which parts of New Jersey flood the most?

The Raritan is the state's largest basin and flooding along it is close to an annual event. During Ida in September 2021 the river crested above 42 feet at Bound Brook, putting parts of Bound Brook and Manville under water after roughly 10 inches of rain in 24 hours. A federal disaster declaration followed for 12 counties, Somerset, Middlesex, Union, Essex and Mercer among them. Closer to the shore, Monmouth and Ocean County basements fight a high water table and tidal flooding, while the clay soil inland around Manalapan and Marlboro holds water against foundation walls instead of draining it.

Kiran SharmaJuly 13, 2026

I recently had my entire HVAC system (air conditioner and furnace) replaced by PAWS, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Alex was outstanding. After receiving several unbelievably high quotes from other companies, I contacted PAWS. Alex was professional, honest, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. He took the time to explain my options and recommended high-quality equipment without trying to cut corners. Most importantly, he provided a very competitive price without compromising on quality. The installation team was equally impressive. They were punctual, courteous, highly skilled, and incredibly thorough. They completed the installation with great attention to detail, kept the work area clean throughout the process, and left everything spotless when the job was finished. It's refreshing to work with a company that delivers exactly what they promise. The entire experience—from the initial consultation to the final installation—was smooth and professional. I am extremely happy with my new HVAC system and the exceptional service I received from PAWS. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest pricing, quality equipment, and outstanding workmanship. Thank you, Alex and the entire PAWS team!

Nick. M and Dano came in and replace my ac compressor that was not working. They we professional and courteous they complete the work within a few hours. They came in a couple of weeks prior and diagnosed. The issue took a while because we had to wait for the parts to be order. I recommend this company to anyone. Amazing crew.

“I recently had a new HVAC system installed by PAWS, and I am very satisfied with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive to all of my questions. They arrived on time, explained the process clearly, and completed the installation efficiently. The workmanship was excellent, and they took the time to ensure everything was operating properly before leaving. The crew was respectful of my home and cleaned up thoroughly after the job was completed. I appreciate their honesty, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend PAWS to anyone looking for HVAC installation or service. Thank you for making the process smooth and stress-free!”

I recently replaced my full AC/furnace system and i am very happy with it. I initially spoke with Alex (sales manager) and he was thorough in explaining my options and costs. After deciding to move forward, the online financial transaction was easy, and Alex walked me through it. I was able to make an appointment to have the work done very quickly. Texts were sent to confirm the appointment, inform me who would be coming to do the work and at what time. The guys arrived exactly on time and worked most of the day. The final product looks and works great! The guys are professional and experienced. I highly recommend calling PAWS if you need a system!

Recently signed up with Perfect Air and had my first maintenance check-up fir spring summer. Unfortunately as it was a cold day, the visit could not check the refrigerant level and that has to be done on another day. However the price for their special was well worth it. Also I was fortunate to have the installation supervisor Nazar do my check-up so he spent a fair amount of time taking pictures and checking out the system very thoroughly. He gave some good advice. My recommendation to others is when the technician leaves and it's a cold day, remember to put your heat back on.

It’s our first winter in our new home and suddenly the super old furnace broke in the middle of the night during the coldest winter! I called around for a few quotes and these guys were very responsive, took their time to inspect the whole home, and extremely reasonably priced in comparison. I was nervous being this is my first big home Reno as a new homeowner but Alex was truly incredible. He answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns! We went with an high efficiency furnace and also decided to install an AC condenser at the same time since we already had ductwork and I’m so happy we did! (it was on our list of upgrades.) Nadar, all of the HVAC guys and their electrician Leo were very kind, clean, and respectful. They laid down floor protection and even wore shoe coverings! Their work was very well done and our new system looks so good!! They showed me how to change my filters in the future and helped muffle my loud old duct system. Truly very impressed with their professionalism and happy we went with PAWS! Thank you!! 🩷
