Purpose of sewer pump (and differences with sump pump)
The sewer pump is installed at the lowest point of the sewer line to allow liquids and solids from the sewage to be pumped and moved smoothly into the system itself, or into the septic tank. In comparison, a sump pump cannot pump solid wastes (read below).
The motor creates centrifugal force, which in turn creates pressure that draws the water into the pump and discharges it into the discharge pipe.
The sewer pump removes both water and waste. Occasionally, the pump becomes clogged by solids, and therefore, regular maintenance is required.
Purpose of Sump Pump
The sole purpose of the sump pumps is to ensure that the property’s basement will not flood or retain water at any point. Water that collects in the basement is directed to the sump pump, which pumps it to a safe location outside the property.
The sump pump is traditionally located underground and can incorporate several different pumps to provide different levels of flood protection.

Comparison between sewer pump and sump pump
As opposed to a sewage pump, a sump pump is only intended to handle water infiltration into the basement.
It is not intended to be used for pumping anything else, and it cannot safely control or remove solids from the basement.
Do you need a sump pump?
If you have a basement, you will need a sump pump.
Sump pumps are most effective against water damage and flooding in basements.
It can also be used in conjunction with an appropriate waterproofing solution.
The cost of installing and maintaining a sump pump is much lower than the cost of flood damage repairs.
