Grinder Pump Service in Franklin & Nashville, TN
A grinder pump (or sewage ejector pump) moves wastewater uphill from a below-grade or low-lying property to the sewer or septic system, grinding solids so they pass through a small-diameter pressure line.
What It Is
Prodigy services and repairs grinder and ejector pumps as part of our septic and below-grade work; on properties below sewer grade, a working grinder pump is essential.
How It Works — Our Process
Our grinder pump service process keeps it cycling:

When You Need It
Call for grinder pump service when the pump runs constantly, fails to cycle, triggers an alarm, or a below-grade bathroom backs up. These pumps are the only thing moving waste uphill, so a failure quickly becomes a backup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a grinder pump do?
It grinds and pumps wastewater uphill from a below-grade fixture or low-lying property to the sewer or septic line, so homes that sit below sewer grade can still drain.
Why is my grinder pump running constantly?
Constant running often means a stuck float, a failed check valve letting water flow back, or a worn pump. We diagnose the cause and repair it before the pump burns out.
Does Prodigy repair sewage ejector pumps too?
Yes. We service and repair both grinder and sewage ejector pumps as part of our below-grade and septic work.
What happens if my grinder pump fails?
Waste can no longer be pumped uphill, so the below-grade fixtures back up. Prompt service or repair restores the only path the wastewater has out.
