Overhead Sewer Systems

overhead sewer system


An overhead sewer is a type of flood control system that is constructed to run straight through your foundation wall above the basement level. This allows the lowest opening of the sewer system to be above the highest water line of the main sewage. The sewage would then have to travel in an upward pattern before actually entering into the home. Since it is harder to travel upward, it makes it extremely unlikely for sewage back flow to enter into your home. Sewage will seek out the path of least resistance and travel through the easiest possible route. The Suburban Plumbing Experts can handle all aspects of your overhead sewer system.

Protection from Flooding

Overhead sewer systems and flood control system devices such as sump pumps are excellent ways for homeowners to help protect their property against flooding. When homeowners install an overhead sewer system for flood control it is vital that they also install an ejector pump. An ejector pump is a pump that pretty much replaces gravity when transporting waste from an area that in already underneath the plumbing system. The ejector pump will handle sewer waste, pushing it upward and into the overhead sewer system. This system is an excellent way to reduce the risk of flooding in your suburban home. Flooding is very costly and can cause detrimental damage to the structure of your home. In addition, sewer back up that enters your home can be quite…gross!
