What Is a Sump Pump?
Sump pumps are simple devices installed in a sump pit in the lowest part of the basement or crawl space. The pump has a buoyant ball float that floats on top of the water or a pressure sensor that initiates the pump if the water rises.
Within the pump, an impeller pumps the water into the discharge line and out of your home. This is an automatic process that doesn’t require any manual operation, which means it provides 24/7 protection you can rely on.
Sump Pump Repair
You should promptly repair and resolve any issues with your sump pump. While durable and reliable, it will provide zero protection if the system malfunctions. As such, it’s best to check your sump pump every few months to ensure the system is ready if the waters start to rise.
Our team maintains a broad inventory of replacement components, and we can promptly inspect and test your system to ensure proper operation. When needed, we’ll repair the system and replace any faulty components. Some common signs your sump pump requires repairs include:
- Failure to initiate
- Excessive vibration
- Visible rust
- Short-cycling
- Constant operation
- Odd noises or odors while operating
Sump Pump Installation & Replacement
Our licensed and insured technicians can install or replace the sump pump you need. We offer a broad selection of superior-quality systems of all sizes and will help you select the appropriate size for your home.
Our technician will thoroughly prepare the installation site, install the new pump, and test the system to confirm proper operation. We’ll also show you how to properly maintain the sump pump and discuss any questions you have about preventative maintenance, warranty coverage, and more.
If you have an old sump pump, there are plenty of benefits to upgrading your protection with a new unit. These include:
- Safety: You’ll get greater protection against water-related damage, electrical hazards, fire, and other issues that can occur when a sump pump fails.
- Reliability: Most sump pumps have an expected lifespan of seven to 10 years. Replacing an aging sump pump can help you maintain the protection you need.
- Savings: A new sump pump will require less maintenance and repairs than an older unit that’s nearing the end of its anticipated lifespan.
- Preserve insurance: Most homeowners insurance policies won’t cover water damage caused by a sump pump failure. Installing a new sump pump helps ensure your coverage is intact should the worst occur.
