Sump Pump and Sewage Ejector Service in Gwinnett County
A sump pump moves groundwater out of the pit before it reaches your floor, and a sewage ejector pump lifts waste from a basement bathroom up to the sewer line. 1st Place Plumbing installs, replaces and repairs both across Gwinnett County and metro Atlanta, with battery backup where a power outage would mean a flooded basement. Call or text (770) 800-7563 or book online to schedule service.
What we can help with
- Sump pump replacement and new installation: We size the pump to the pit and the height it has to lift the water.
- Sewage ejector pumps and basins: Basement bathrooms need a sealed basin, a proper vent and a check valve.
- Battery backup systems: A second pump on battery power takes over when the house loses power.
- Float switches, check valves and alarms: These are the parts that fail, and they're what we test first.
- Discharge line repair: A blocked or broken discharge line stops a good pump from doing its job.
What to expect
We test the float switch and the check valve first, because those are the parts that fail. If the pump itself is worn, we size the replacement to the pit and to how high the water has to travel. We test the new pump with water in the pit, not just by lifting the float, and walk you through checking it yourself twice a year.
If your basement is finished, a battery backup keeps the pump running when the power goes out. We quote it alongside the pump so you can decide with both numbers in front of you. Ejector pumps get the same treatment, including the vent and the check valve that keep a basement bathroom working the way it should.

Frequently asked questions about sump pumps & ejectors
How long does a sump pump last?
Usually 7 to 10 years, depending on how often it runs. Test it twice a year by lifting the float, and if it hums or runs without moving water, give us a call.
What is a sewage ejector pump?
It's a sealed basin and pump under a basement bathroom that lifts waste up to the main sewer line. It needs a vent and a check valve installed properly to work and to stay sealed.
Do I need a battery backup?
If a power outage during a storm would flood your basement, yes. That's the exact moment a pump on house power stops running.
