When your home or business in Fredericksburg requires sewer repairs, call the master plumbers at Atlantic Green Plumbing.

If you experience backups or blockages regularly even after having the pipes cleaned, then you may have an underlying issue. Your drainage lines may already be damaged by tree root intrusions before you experience complete sewer line failure. 

Common issues that cause sewer backups

  • Tree root infiltration
  • Clog or blockage in the sewer line
  • Pipe corrosion 
  • Collapsed or cracked sewer line

Sewer repairs can include:

Hydrojetting 

Sending a stream of high-pressure water through your sewer line is an effective way to thoroughly clean the system.

Our technicians will use a commercial Jetter for lines 3 to 8 inches which uses hot water (up to 1801 at 4000 PSI to cut through years of thick grease, descale old pipes, and clean debris.

Chemical treatments

This method is used to destroy tree roots. A chemical foam is pumped through the pipes to clear out the roots.

The dead roots decay over time and are carried out with the flow of the pipe, restoring the pipe to its full capacity.

Pipe relining

To prevent roots from growing into the sewer lines, pipes are relined with an internal coating.

Relining can protect against further intrusion in joints and cracks. Because of the nature of root intrusion, it is best to reinforce and protect pipes before major intrusions have taken place.

Video inspection

A small TV camera is dropped into the sewer line to find the exact location of a break or blockage to identify the site the of required sewer repairs.

With our Camera Inspection we will be able to determine whether your drainage issues is due to a broken, crushed, cracked or punctured pipe, or flow is obstructed roots or grease.

Professional sewer repairs

Our technicians will determine the best method depending on the specific problem, the easiest way to reach the sewer lines, and the kind of material the pipes are made of. Call our team at Atlantic Green to schedule your inspection!

Sewer Ejector Pump

Maintenance and Repair
Sewer Ejector — Sewer Cover in Fredericksburg, VA

Ejector Pump Repair and replacement

Ejector Pump Repair and replacement

Homeowners that have a bathroom located below the main level of their main sewer line have to have a sewage ejector pump installed. The ejector pump helps to lift the sewage to the level of your sewer line so that it is able to flow out of your home and into your septic tank (or into the community sewer if your property is connected to it). In some cases, a home may have an ejector pump even if the bathroom is almost level with the sewer line because the water won’t flow fast enough through the use of gravity alone.

As you might imagine, an ejector pump that fails isn’t a pretty sight. If anything goes wrong with your ejector pump, you should schedule an ejector pump repair service right away.

Common Pump Problems

The following are some of the more common ejector pump problems:
  • The Ejector Pump Isn't Cycling

    If your ejector pump isn’t cycling, then the first thing you should do is make sure that the outlet is receiving power. Plug something else in to see if it works – if it doesn’t, check your fuse box. If it’s receiving power, then it may be an issue with the float style switch. If the pump doesn’t cycle once the switch is engaged, then a professional will have to inspect the pump to repair it.

  • It is Cycling, but the Pit Isn't Being Evacuated

    The float or rod may need to be adjusted in order to ensure a proper pump cycle. If this isn’t the issue, then it may be the result of a clogged impeller, in which case the pump will need to be removed and the inlet screen will have to be cleaned. The third possibility is that either impeller or shaft is damaged, which would require a new ejector pump altogether.

  • The Pump is Cycling, but Water Isn't Being Removed from the Pit

    This is usually caused by a problem with the discharge line. The flapper can get hung up by debris over the years and can even be torn off, causing it to become lodged within the discharge piping. This results in the pump pumping against because the discharge line is clogged, or the waste water coming back into the pit because the flapper isn’t working properly. You’ll most likely have to have a new ejector check valve installed.


Whatever the problem might be, you won’t want to try and handle it on your own. If you notice any issues with your ejector pump, be sure to contact us in order to schedule an ejector pump repair service. Our technicians are highly trained and experienced, which means that they can properly inspect your ejector pump and make the necessary repairs.
