I thought the same when you first looked at the pit, I’m surprised it was not overflowing. No surprise that pump only lasted a year though. That mfr’s high quality has gone right down the toilet the last several years, in my opinion.
Brian if u go back to that job to replace the pump don't buy a zoeller pump they're complete junk and don't last . Liberty makes a decent sewer ejector pump I've replaced 4 or 5 burnt pumps (wipes) with liberty with no call backs
I worked on a dual ejector station the other day. I pulled a rag out of the impeller. I removed a plastic tampon holder from one of the 3/4 inch copper priming pipes. Foreign debris will kill outflow.
Yea I would have looked into it further but I lost on the job they o ly pay a hour for diagnosis and I was over that. Everytime it seams like I try to help out I lose more!
Ok so wtf is going on there? Does the poop & whatnot get dumped into the basin and then pumped to the sewer? I've seen a lot of stuff, but never seen that !!
this is usually installed in a house if it has to go up hill to get to the city sewer, also cities have big setups like this placed in different areas of town that pump sewer waste water up grade to the sewer plant.
I worked 4 years for a large company as a pump station tech. And one day when our coworkers from a different dept. came to one of the pump stations to remove a broken channel grinder the was 3 baseball sized plastic balls stuck on the inlet side covered in shit n toilet paper quite strange as to how those got there
typical of that line of work, some days go easy and you're the "Great Handy Man", other's go sideways and you appear like the "Un-Handy Moron". 🤪 some of us know all too well, it's very easy to get bitten in the rear, especially when you're in a hurry and it's the last job/late in the day 🥳
I've already lost money on that job, they only pay a hour for diagnosis and I was past that. I've learned me trying to help out usually only screws me and my time.
That's a rap , that is the first video i have seen on youtube that a condom was the issue, i hope more people see this video, landlords need to tell the tenants do not flush this, why did this house have a ejector pump? was it pumping up hill?
So what did she decide to do? It has to be fixed so I don't get why you just left. Should've at least pulled the pump and see if you can get it running. Is she just gonna rent a porta john?
Now she's going to know what her teenage daughter been doing with the boyfriend in the basement ... their not just watching Disney.
That's how u find out that ur daughter isn't so innocent
Hahahahahahaha

Dudee I know right ✅️ crazy stuff these pumps go out like that! Yea I learned something on this job and definitely lost time on the job too
Brian if u go back to that job to replace the pump don't buy a zoeller pump they're complete junk and don't last . Liberty makes a decent sewer ejector pump I've replaced 4 or 5 burnt pumps (wipes) with liberty with no call backs
Thanks I definitely appreciate it 🙏 yea there pumps have definitely been going down hill

The guy figured: “I’m ejecting so this will get ejected by the ejection pump”
I made a bad call on that job, I like to show my mistakes so others could learn. Lol and the home warranty company ejected me from this job.
Likely a bad float switch. The breaker wasn’t tripped. The motor was not locked (humming).
Yea those switches always go bad in the zoellers
so moral of the story, don’t flush condoms down the toilet or stop using condoms?😂
yeah because they'll burn out your ejaculator pump
Lmffaaaooo
Lolllllll 😆
Most underrated comment
I think I just seen a brown trout!!!😂
Lol a floating trout lol
That’s why home warranty insurance sucks because they don’t pay out!
They finally paid!!
Ok so wtf is going on there? Does the poop & whatnot get dumped into the basin and then pumped to the sewer? I've seen a lot of stuff, but never seen that !!
It's basically a pit that collects sewage and waste water to be pumped to the main sewer line in the house bc of the basement plumbing
this is usually installed in a house if it has to go up hill to get to the city sewer, also cities have big setups like this placed in different areas of town that pump sewer waste water up grade to the sewer plant.
I know it's definitely weird lol
Interesting video, you never know what you will find in the ejector pump!

U could say that again!!
They should see if the pump is still under warranty. I’m pretty sure Zoeller has a 3 year warranty from the manufactured date.
Lol yea the plumbing company is warrantying it and just charging them labor lol
@@thehandymanexperience226 sounds good
amazed you didnt take the pump out and check that the impeller is not jammed with stuff
I've already lost money on that job, they only pay a hour for diagnosis and I was past that. I've learned me trying to help out usually only screws me and my time.
@@thehandymanexperience226 hell with that at the 1hr mark my ass would be picking up my stuff and on my way
"Condoms... that's a wrap." I get it.😂 How much are those ejector pumps?
They're alot of money just for the pump !!!
Test the cord with your widow maker stick..
Lol I know right, definitely the right name for the stick 🤣
"Have a Good Nite", it's a wrap...thxs for sharing
Haha yea u could say that again 🤣
👍
Thanks dude!!
👍🤙
Thanks Mike!!!

Basement plumbing is below the grade of the main sewer line
It was a home owner, it just pumped to the sewage pipe to the other wall. I blame zoeller
did they put on hold for a long time
It wasn't their problem cus they weren't covering it
So are you changing it or no
They didn't cover it
So what did she decide to do? It has to be fixed so I don't get why you just left. Should've at least pulled the pump and see if you can get it running. Is she just gonna rent a porta john?
I left cus there not paying, sorry I don't work for free
@@thehandymanexperience226 I don't expect you to work for free. Just curious what happened
Next time jump it the 😅piggy back plug Ed leak master plumbing
Hahahhahaahha that's on them hahahha
Ejector pumps suck big time
Actually it's just a bad switch. Zohler is known for having bad switches for years now and they refuse to fix them. Garbage pumps.
Yes I'm definitely not a fan of them!!
China.
Lol
God zohler is pure garbage. Ill never buy another one.
It's crazy isn't it!!
That's why Sex Is restricted B4 marriage.
Anything else is FORNICATION.
