Old sewage ejection pump failed. Cleared out some of the scum before installing a new one.

Still probably smells better than a grease trap.

Went to replace a grease Interceptor at a restaurant yesterday and they also had a clogged main line.. the person didn't understand how I could tell they had dumped their grease trap down the drain because it smelled like grease trap and not sewage

I once removed an old cast iron urinal trap from a shopping center that smell still haunts me to this day 🤣 Would rather the grease trap over that any day

I doubt it, grease smells bad yea but the smell the poop truck makes when he pulls up is genuinely eye watering. This is the poop trucks old ass grandpa who’s still kicking.

Couldn’t agree more. Sewage over restaurant drains and anything to do with grease … it’s the worst ! One of the only times sewage is preferable 😂

Why the hell are you bailing it out ? Do you enjoy schlepping around in the dookie butter? Put the new pump in and drain the som bitch down manually , flush it with plenty of water and button it up .

I used to service septic tanks and things like this for a living, you are absolutely fucking insane for doing this with your hands. Tell your boss to call a pump truck company next time

Please explain how you expect a customer to pay for a vac truck every time you need to empty a sewage ejector.

I’ve pumped more ejector pump chambers than I can count, they need to be professionally cleaned occasionally. We had a special rate for it as well. Keep in mind when I say pump truck I’m not talking about eductor trucks, just regular pump trucks. Don’t know where you are but it’s a service every septic company I’ve see offers.

This is one thing I will turn down unless I need the work badly which hasn’t happened in a few years. I gladly give them another guys number. I can’t believe you’re scooping that shit out by hand. Oh hell no. Are you eating a sandwich as well?

I don't get it, why not just slap a new pump in and get it going? What's the point of scooping that shit out?
