My house is about ten years old and now the ejector pump in the basement
is acting up. It used to pump for about 10 seconds and shut off. Now it
runs for over 5 minutes. Never worked on one before. Is it easily
serviceable?

Most are, but it is a ****ty job.

Open the access hold. With a flashlight, look for the switch and see if
anything is holding it from moving. Toilet paper can get on top of it or
around it and hold it in place. A stick or a water blast from a hose will
usually free it if that is the problem. If you are concerned about the
odor when you open it, pour a few ounces of bleach in the toilet then flush.
