Expert Repair
A sump pump keeps your basement from flooding, and it can last seven to 10 years (or longer with regular service), but parts might become hard to find. Older pumps tend to break down more often. Hence, your existing pump might need repair work.
Signs you need to schedule repair include:
- Strange noises: The components might have corrosion if you hear grinding sounds.
- Weird odors: It is not removing water efficiently if you smell must (mildew, mold).
- Running dry: The sensor on the water level valve needs replacing if it runs randomly.
- Other signs: Call our plumbers for stuck floats, inoperable impellers, faulty impeller sump basins, or damaged discharge pipe float switches.
We know no homeowner wants to feel underwater with plumbing repairs! Because sump and sewer pump repairs are usually unexpected expenses at the worst time, our special financing programs (with 0% interest for 18 months) are available.
Comprehensive Installation
Replacing a malfunctioning sump pump will ensure that you have a responsive unit if there is a natural disaster or other event. Routine maintenance is a recommendation to help lower repair costs, extend your new pump’s life span, and maintain your warranty.
Installation options include:
Pedestal sump pumps
Whether you need sump pump installation or a sump pump replacement (if yours has minimal pumping capacity), these are less expensive and have motors above the water and drawtubes in the pit.
Submersible sump pumps
More expensive and popular, the pump and motor are positioned in the sump pit and stay completely immersed in water.
Our knowledgeable plumbing technicians can help you find the pump that fits your space and needs.
What Kind of Pump Do You Have?
While you might not know the ins and outs of sump pump plumbing, understanding the type of pump (sump, sewage) can help if you are scheduling it for service.
Sump Pumps
Sump pumps remove groundwater from your crawl space and basement. They have a 1.5-inch inside diameter and a 1.75-inch outside diameter.
Sewage Pumps
Sewage pumps have sealed lids (to block the sewage odor) as they remove waste material. Their discharge line has a 2-inch inside diameter and an outside diameter of 2.5 inches.
