Grinder Pump Repair: Signs You Need it & Who to Call

For years, B&L Plumbing Service, Inc. has dedicated itself to mastering plumbing systems. Among the various systems encountered, grinder pumps stand out as particularly misunderstood. This lack of understanding often prompts homeowners to postpone essential grinder pump repairs. Ignoring these early indicators can result in significant and messy issues later on, along with substantial repair costs.

Understanding Grinder Pumps

In homes with plumbing systems below the sewer line, grinder pumps are essential. Unlike gravity-fed systems, a grinder pump uses a powerful motor to grind waste into a slurry. It then pumps it up to your main sewer line. Because it’s such a workhorse, regular maintenance is crucial for avoiding major grinder pump repairs. At B&L Plumbing Service, inc., we use Franklin Electric’s FPS grinder pump systems and E/One grinder pump systems.
