What Are the Main Types of Plumbing Pumps?
Each type of pump serves a specific function within your plumbing system. Here’s a breakdown of the most common plumbing pumps we work with:
- Sump Pumps – Installed in basements or crawlspaces, sump pumps remove groundwater to prevent flooding and moisture damage during heavy rain or rising water tables.
- Sewage Ejector Pumps – Used when plumbing fixtures are located below the main sewer line, these pumps move wastewater from basement toilets, sinks, and laundry areas to the main drain or septic tank.
- Grinder Pumps – Similar to ejector pumps, but with a grinding mechanism that breaks down solids before pumping wastewater to the sewer or septic system—ideal for high-demand or remote properties.
- Booster Pumps – Installed to increase water pressure in homes or commercial buildings where supply is weak. These pumps ensure steady flow to upper floors, showers, irrigation systems, and more.
- Lift Station Pumps – Common in commercial and municipal systems, these pumps move wastewater from low elevations to higher points where gravity flow is possible.
- Well Pumps – Used to draw water from a private well into the home, well pumps may be jet pumps (above-ground) or submersible pumps (in-well), depending on depth and system design.
Each pump type is designed for a specific application, and choosing the right one ensures long-term performance and code compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a sump pump and a sewage ejector pump?
A sump pump removes groundwater from basements to prevent flooding, while a sewage ejector pump moves wastewater from lower-level plumbing (like a basement bathroom) to the main sewer line.
When do I need a grinder pump?
Grinder pumps are used in homes or buildings where waste must be pumped uphill to reach the sewer line. They grind solid waste into slurry for smooth transport.
How do I know if I need a booster pump?
If you experience low water pressure in showers, faucets, or irrigation systems, a booster pump can help improve flow and ensure consistent pressure throughout your property.
What’s the role of a well pump?
A well pump draws water from an underground well and delivers it to your home or building. It’s essential for properties that rely on private water sources rather than municipal water systems.
