There are lots of cheap options out there, but they tend to fail quickly and not so cheaply. Similarly, if you’ve got a septic tank, you already know you’ll need a sewage pump to go along with it. It doesn’t matter whether you have a single family home, tenants in a property you’re renting out, or employees and customers in a small business setting: if you have a below-grade sewage system (e.g., a toilet in a basement), you’re going to need a sewage pump to pump sewage to a municipal system.
