Sewage pumps play a critical role in homes and properties where wastewater must be pumped upward to reach the main sewer line. These systems are commonly installed in basements, below-grade bathrooms, and properties with plumbing fixtures located beneath municipal sewer elevation.

Mallick Plumbing & Heating provides professional sewage pump repair, replacement, and installation services in Frederick, MD, helping homeowners maintain safe and efficient wastewater removal.

When sewage pumps fail, wastewater backups can occur quickly — making prompt, professional service essential.

If you have questions about sewage pumps or want to learn more about your options, call (301) 804-6759 to speak with a knowledgeable staff member. 

How Sewage Pumps Work

Unlike sump pumps that remove groundwater, sewage pumps handle solid and liquid waste from toilets, sinks, showers, and laundry systems. Wastewater flows into a sealed basin where the pump activates automatically and forces waste into the main sewer line.

Systems may include:

  • Sewage ejector pumps
  • Grinder pumps
  • Basin tanks
  • Float switches
  • Check valves and discharge piping

Each component must function properly to prevent backups.

“Explained things in layman terms so it was easy to understand”
I had an emergency after Washington Gas said that there was a gas leak from the meter from the regulator and they said that it needed to be replaced immediately. They were able to send someone over in a few hours and although the cost was on emergency rates, the pricing was still competitive among other companies and were very responsive. They had someone come over beforehand to check the leak to see what part needed to be replaced before they had the technician come over which was very helpful. Troy was very knowledgeable and explained things in layman terms so it was easy to understand. I would highly recommend Mallick Plumbing & Heating for future issues.

“Quality workmanship at a fair price”
I am remodeling my master bathroom and I contacted Mallick Plumbing to come and provide me with an estimate for the rough-in. The gentleman who came out to meet me was on time and was very polite and knowledgeable at his trade. I scheduled the work to be performed by Mallick and Jacob was back out to do the work at the scheduled time. Jacob did a quality job and it was obvious that he took pride in his work. There was one item overlooked that I noticed after Jacob had left. I called in and spoke with Dale, who was a pleasure to work with, and he had Jacob back out to take care of the overlooked item very quickly and Jacob performed the task with the same quality of workmanship he used on the rest of his work. It is so nice to work with a company who truly cares about customer satisfaction. Thank you to the whole staff at Mallick Plumbing. I would highly recommend Mallick Plumbing for your plumbing needs and I will be looking to them for my future plumbing needs. Thank You!
