About 7 years ago I had a sewage crock/ejection pump installed by a plumber. It has worked flawlessly until about a month ago. Truth be told, it still works, but now it doesn't seem to be ejecting completely. It runs for the same amount of time, and sends a large 'slug' of stuff up the pipe. This makes it to the main drain, and you can hear it run down. But after the pump shuts off, a large quantity of stuff comes back and rests on the check valve.
Does that make sense? It almost seems like there is a blockage in the pipe, but not a complete blockage? Could this be it? I know the vent is good, and I know it is ejecting because I opened the crock and watched it. Other than a partial clog, I don't know what else it could be.
Thanks for any ideas.
