With the right equipment, addressing plumbing issues is straightforward. Use Zoeller pumps for troubleshooting and fixing plumbing problems that require a pump. We’re a one-stop shop offering a comprehensive catalog of quality pumps that allows you to find the perfect solution for your problem. 

Here are five common plumbing issues and effective plumbing solutions for contractors. 

Clogs in Sewer Lines

When wastewater backs into a basement due to clogs in the sewer line connecting a home’s plumbing to the municipal sewerage system, residents can suffer significant flooding and damage. Our sturdy grinder pumps can cut stringing material into a slurry that will reduce the chance of potential clogging in the sewer lines. 

Sump Pump Failure

When sump pumps fail, rising water can compromise the integrity of a property’s foundation. There are many reasons for sump pump failure, including valve or motor failure. Installing one of our durable, corrosion-resistant, battery-operated or water-powered pumps can be a second line of defense in the event of a primary pump failure. Alternatively, install Zoeller’s High-Water APak® Alarm for early detection before water floods the basement.

Sewage Backups 

Conventional plumbing below street level can limit or prevent gravity flow and cause clogging. Installing one of our sewer or grinder pumps inside a basin will allow the use of a bathroom, wet bar, or second kitchen in the basement. 

Alternatively, if traditional plumbing is not feasible, install one of our economical Qwik Jon Upflush Systems®. These systems consist of a collection tank and ejection pump that mounts above the floor, eliminating the need to cut into concrete. 

Low Water Pressure 

Low water pressure can cause insufficient water delivery to fixtures. To improve municipal water flow, install one of our City Water Booster pumps. We’ve designed these pumps to maintain consistent water pressure across fixtures by adjusting pressure based on demand. 

Issues Due to High Temperatures 

Commercial and industrial applications often need to transport hot water and steam. Our high-temperature pumps find applications in boiler blowdown, plant washdown, and transformer vault applications. Unlike conventional pumps, which may overheat and fail, our high-temperature pumps handle elevated temperatures. up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. They’re suitable for residential and light commercial applications.
