Types of Sump Pumps 

• Pedestal – Pedestal sump pumps are installed so that the motor of the pump is located above the sump basin itself. This type of pump is ideal for installation in a sump basin or pit that is either shallow or narrow.
• Submersible – Submersible sump pumps are installed entirely in the sump basin. The submersion of the sump pump means that it works more efficiently and quieter but is not as accessible for maintenance. 
• Grinder Pumps – Grinder pumps have blades to liquify sewage before moving it to the waste lines. They can handle tougher solids, and although they move less volume, it can be moved for longer distances.  

• Ejector Pumps – Ejector pumps have a spinner intake and use pressure to move solids. Ejector pumps are required for use in conjunction with septic tanks and can move a heavy volume in short distances. 

Once installed, sump pumps for both water and sewage operate automatically, but do require routine maintenance. Sump pump installation and repair is a specialty service and should be performed by trained and knowledgeable master plumbers.
