Why you need a Sump Pump

With the amount of rain and snow that we experience, a sump pump is a crucial appliance in preventing water damage to your home. They help the excess water from rain and snow from entering your home and thus avoiding costly water damage repairs.

How do they work?

Sump pumps are normally located where they water will collect in your home or building. This is usually the basement. The pump is activated when a float switch and then start pumping water out of your home.

When activated the water is pumped through a hose to a safe location that will not cause damage to your home. Many models will have a battery backup that allows them to function during power outages that can come with heavy storms.

Types of Pumps

Common Sump Pump Problems

As with other appliances in your home, they can occasionally require maintenance and repairs. The most common problems include:

Power Outages - As mentioned above, a storm can be the cause of power outage. This is one reason we recommend having a pump with a battery backup.
Under Powered Pumps -It is important to have a pump that is the correct size for your home. Ensure that your pump has the capacity that is required for your home or building.
Frozen or Clogged Pipes - If the discharge pipe is frozen or clogged, this will prevent your pump from functioning.
Float Valves - The float valve can become obstructed and this would cause your pump to not start when needed. It is best to have this checked regularly.
Worn Out Motor -As in other appliances, it is possible that the motor can wear out stop functioning. When this happens it is time to replace your system.
