If you or your children flush toys, paper towels or other itemst that are not intended to be flused count on buying a new sewage extractor pump. These pumps require close supervision and regular service. Sometimes the pressure switches on these pumps fail to operate, the float may stick, leaks may occur, etc..

It is suggested that you learn all you can about this device since it is so important in the transfer of wastes from the property. It is not a matter of if these pumps will fail, one day they will.
