Can toilet cause sump pump clogging?
Yes. If the sump pump is used as a sewage lift station, objects going into the toilet (especially forign objects) can cause the pump to clogg. These pumps are usually referred to as sewage ejector pumps. If the sump pump is only used for stormwater runoff, and foundation drains, then no, the toilet is a separate system and would not affect it. These are referred to as sump pumps. Except in unusual circumstances, such as when a toilet overflows, and drains into the basement floor drains for instance, these are totally separate.

Taking Care Of Your Sump Pump?
If you live in an older home, your home might use a sump pump as part of its sewage system. Some older homes also use a sump pump to prevent basement or crawlspace flooding. If your family’s plumbing system uses a sump pump, you need to complete regular maintenance tasks in order to keep your system in good working order. If you fail to complete these tasks, your system could fail. Sump pump repair can be extremely expensive, so it is best to avoid this cost if at all possible. Invest a little time in your sump pump system now, so that you do not have to invest a lot of money in it later. 1. Clean Out Your Sump Pump Periodically Overtime, deposits can build up in your sump pump. These deposits of sand, dirt, and minerals from your pipes, can damage your sump pump. There are chemical products available that promise to break down these deposits and keep your sump pump clean. If you have not been treating your sump pump regularly, however, you might want to have a specialist come out and clean it manually. Then you can begin a chemical cleaning regimen. 2. Check The Battery Many sump pumps have a battery back-up to help keep the system running if your home’s electrical system fails. You should periodically test the battery to make sure that it still holds a charge. A battery back-up is useless if it does not work properly. If you do not know how to test the battery, contact a plumber. Ask them how much they would charge for a quick battery check. This small maintenance cost could save you a considerable amount of money in the long term. 3. Consider A Plumbing Update In some municipalities, sump pumps are no longer allowed because they can overwhelm the city’s sewer system. Although these laws might only apply to new construction, you might have a harder time selling your home if you have an out-dated plumbing system. To find out how much it would cost to upgrade your plumbing system, ask several contractors for estimates.
