I have a 3-4 year old house with a full bath in basement serviced by an ejector pump. It looks like a tank set into the slab with a black cover. the system does not get heavy use. It failed and leaked sewerage yesterday. It could be the float or the motor.
1.) Isn't there supposed to be an alarm? Is one required by code?
Also, there is a hole in top with pipe for discharge but there is a 2nd hole that is sealed (this is presumably for a vent).
2.) Is a separate vent required for the pump? It is my understanding that there is a vent behind the wall for the shower, sink and toilet similar to the bathrooms upstairs. is this adequate?
3.) By code, MUST there be a vent attached to 2nd opening on the ejector pump?
