What You Should Know About Sump Pumps

Your sump pump has the important job of keeping your basement from being flooded. A sump pump has a float switch that gets triggered if water reaches a specific level. When that level is reached, your sump pump starts removing water from the basement and relocates it to an outdoor area, such as a nearby storm drain or a well. Your sump pump should have a battery-powered water-level alarm so your family knows when potential flooding may occur if the sump pump overflows or malfunctions.

Fixing Common Sump Pump Problems

Our experienced plumbers repair many aspects of residential sump pumps. You should have your sump pump checked out each year to ensure you are protected during the next big storm. Our sump pump preventative maintenance services help our plumbers detect issues early on before they become more expensive and have significant problems. Untreated sump pumps can put your system and property in jeopardy. Some of the common sump pump problems our team can repair include:

  • Clogged parts or pumps
  • Improper installation
  • Pumps that run continuously
  • Switches getting stuck
  • Basin overfilling with water
