Upkeep and replacement
A sump pump is the approved mechanical means that lifts sewage when a South Portland building drain sits too low for gravity flow. Maintenance should keep the unit ready to move that drainage to a city-approved storm drain or natural outlet. When the pump fails, replacement restores this required lifting function.
