Pride Plumbing was called out for a basement grinder pump not working properly. First, we plugged it in and it operated without any issues. Next, we tested it and found that its alarm float was adjusted too high and wouldn’t go off until the whole basin was full. While testing it, we could see where toilet paper would accumulate on the on/off float causing it to be weighed down until the waste would fill the tank to the point of overflowing. Finally, we readjusted the floats to where they would operate without any issues of toilet paper accumulating on top of them and waste water would flow into the drain system as it should.
