Sump and Grinder Pump Repair

Common Grinder Pump Problems There are three problems that generally impact these devices. They include: BLOCKAGES: Large debris may get stuck in the grinder similar to big debris becoming stuck in a garbage disposal. This produces a blockage that has to be removed manually. CLOTTING: It is a phrase that describes the harm done by smaller pieces of debris. While the small debris doesn’t create the same kind of blockage, it does, however, cause a slow buildup of silt and other material. That will create the grinder to operate less efficiently.

GREASE CLOGGING: When petroleum enters the drain machine, deposits can form and clog the grinder pump. Be certain to hire a professional rather than attempting a drain DIY. This will make the issue worse by pushing the clog further down the piping system where it grows more difficult to treat.
