    Basement sewer injector pump
    Hi Experts,
    Our sewer pump is not pumping water out, its starts make some noise for few second and electric fuse drips. Could some one suggest what can I do or whom should I contact? The plumbing looks fine to me should I contact an electrician to fix the motor?
    Thanks,
    Venkat

    Agree with Harold. You most likely have pump that developed a short. Replace it.
