Is a Grinder Pump for Septic Systems the Right Choice for Your PA Home?

If you’re planning to construct a new home in Pennsylvania, it will have to be connected to the local sewage line. There are several ways to do that. In some circumstances, a grinder pump for septic systems is the best choice.

Why is a Grinder Pump for Septic Systems Necessary?

Usually, waste leaves a house and travels downward toward the main sewer line. Sewage reaches its destination with a little help from gravity. 

If a home is located below the main sewer line, that type of setup won’t work. In that case, a grinder pump is needed. Wastewater leaves a house and gets collected in an underground storage tank. Solid waste gets ground up, then pumped upward toward the main sewage line.

Sometimes a grinder pump is installed in a house that’s being remodeled. If a new bathroom is built in the basement, a grinder pump might be necessary.

Should You Install a Grinder Pump at Your Property?

To answer that question, a professional will have to consider the layout of the land, the location of the sewer line, and your construction or remodeling plans. Tri-County Water Services can help you figure out which type of septic system will work best for your property.
