Stop Floods Dead in Their Tracks
Avoid Common Sump Pump Issues
Clogging is one of the most common issues homeowners face with their sump pumps. Debris such as dirt, rocks, and other materials can get into the sump pit and clog the pump’s intake. This can cause the pump to work harder, overheat, and eventually fail.
A sump pump’s primary source of power is electricity. If there is a power outage, the pump will not function, and your basement could flood. To prevent this, consider purchasing a backup power source, such as a battery backup, to ensure your sump pump continues to work during an outage.
If the switch that activates the sump pump is not working correctly, the pump will not turn on when it needs to. This can be caused by a faulty switch, incorrect positioning, or a buildup of debris around the switch.
If your sump pump is running continuously, it could be due to a malfunctioning float switch or a high water table. This constant operation can cause the pump to wear out prematurely and increase your energy bills.
During heavy rainfall or flooding, your sump pump may not be able to keep up with the amount of water entering the sump pit. This can lead to overwhelmed pumps, resulting in flooding and property damage.
If the sump pit is not correctly installed or maintained, it can cause problems with the sump pump. A pit that is too small or not deep enough can lead to overflow, while a dirty pit can lead to clogs and pump failure.
Sump pumps are not known for their quiet operation, but excessive noise could indicate an issue with the pump. A grinding or rattling noise could indicate a damaged impeller or motor, while a high-pitched squealing noise could indicate a problem with the bearings.
Keeping Your Basement Dry and Protected
Our Process with Sump Pump Repair
Before we begin any repairs, we turn off the power to the sump pump. This is essential for our safety and to prevent any further damage to the pump.
We then inspect the sump pump to determine the cause of the problem. This may involve taking the pump apart to see if any parts are damaged or worn out.
Based on our inspection, we will either repair or replace any damaged or worn-out parts. This could include replacing the motor, impeller, or switch.
Once we have completed the repair or replacement of parts, we test the sump pump to ensure it is functioning correctly. We also ensure that the pump is set to the proper level in the sump basin.
Once we have confirmed that the sump pump is working correctly, we turn the power back on to the pump.
We then clean up any debris or water that may have accumulated during the repair process, leaving your basement clean and dry.
