KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS
An alarm is a warning.
Don’t ignore it.
Continued water use adds wastewater to the tank. A high-water warning deserves prompt attention, even if you cannot yet see sewage backing up.
Pump not starting
The tank fills but the pump does not cycle as expected.
Running without emptying
The pump runs continuously or struggles to lower the wastewater level.
Sewage backing up
Wastewater returns through connected drains or escapes around the system.

FIND THE CAUSE
Repair the problem.
Restore pump operation.
A high-water alarm does not automatically mean the pump needs replacement. Pump failure, float controls, power issues, or a discharge restriction can affect the system.
RYN assesses the pump and accessible components, explains the findings, and quotes the appropriate repair or replacement. Our goal is to restore reliable operation and identify what caused the alarm.
Our service may include
- Sewer ejector pump troubleshooting
- Float switch and alarm assessment
- Pump repair or replacement as needed
- Check valve and discharge piping assessment
- Accessible control and power checks
- Operational testing after approved repairs
Need a sewage ejector pump replacement?
We select equipment for the actual system requirements. Scope, access needs, and pricing are explained before approved work.
UNDERSTAND YOUR SYSTEM
What does a sewer ejector pump do?
Also called a sewage ejector pump, it lifts wastewater from a holding basin to the building’s sewer discharge when gravity drainage alone is not sufficient. These systems often serve lower-level bathrooms or fixtures.
A high-level alarm warns when the basin rises beyond its normal operating level. Treat the alarm as a reason to stop adding wastewater and arrange service. Silencing it does not solve the underlying problem.

SEWAGE PUMP QUESTIONS
Know what
to do next.
What does a sewer ejector pump alarm mean?
A high-water alarm usually warns that wastewater in the holding tank or pump basin has risen above its normal operating level. Continued water use can lead to an overflow or sewage backup. Stop water use and call RYN for emergency service. The alarm alone does not identify the cause.
What should I do when my sewage pump alarm is sounding?
Stop flushing toilets, running faucets, showering, and using washing machines or dishwashers. Keep everyone informed so more wastewater is not added. Call 704-398-3999 to request emergency service and confirm dispatch availability.
Can I silence the alarm and keep using water?
Silencing the sound does not fix a high wastewater level or a pump problem. Keep water use stopped until the system has been assessed and you are advised it is safe to resume.
Why is my sewage ejector pump not working?
Possible causes include pump failure, a float or control problem, loss of power, or a blocked discharge. We assess the pump, controls, and accessible piping to identify the problem before recommending repairs.
Do you repair or replace sewer ejector pumps?
We assess whether a repair is practical or a replacement is needed. A replacement must suit the system, wastewater application, and required pumping performance. We explain the proposed scope and pricing before approved work.
Is a sewage ejector pump the same as a sump pump?
No. A sewage ejector pump moves wastewater that may contain solids. A sump pump generally handles groundwater. The equipment needs to match the application; the terms are not interchangeable.
Do you offer emergency service in Charlotte?
RYN offers emergency service for Charlotte and surrounding communities. Call 704-398-3999 to explain the situation and confirm availability. Sending a form does not confirm a dispatch or arrival time.
What if sewage has already overflowed?
Stop water use and keep people and pets away from the affected area. Do not touch electrical equipment near standing water or open the sewage basin. Call for emergency pump service; sewage cleanup and restoration may require a separate specialist.
