Sump Pumps Installed and Repaired
Sump pumps are submersible pumps installed in the lowest point of a home. They channel groundwater into a drain system perimeter installed at a home’s base foundation. This drain system is made up of perforated pipes that allow water to flow in, which is then redirected to a dry well, retention pond, or storm drain.
If you don’t have a sump pump or have one that isn’t functioning, your house’s basement can collect water and moisture, which might cause more havoc than you expected. This could lead to the accumulation of mold and damage, which could ultimately take a heavy toll on your finances.
Sump pumps are instigated by a float switch, which only activates when water attains a certain level. As a result, the automatic switch present on the pump prevents water from accumulating inside the home, and the excess water is redirected. To avoid these issues, get a sump pump installed or replaced/repaired if you have a faulty one. Our staff are experts in installing and repairing sump pumps.
Sump Pump Installation, Repair, and Maintenance
A sump pump replacement can be a DIY (do-it-yourself) project. However, it is recommended you hire a professional to do the installation so that everything works seamlessly. Always endeavor to call in our experts to assess the situation if your sump pump malfunctions. Until you’ve encountered the misfortune of standing ankle-deep in a flooded house basement after a heavy downpour, you may never realize the importance of a sump pump.
While sump pumps are low-maintenance gadgets, they still need to be regularly inspected and tested at least once a year. If your sump pump’s proper functioning is not routinely tested, your house foundation could be at risk of heavy precipitation and ultimate damage. We are experts at routine maintenance of sump pumps and can help troubleshoot any issues that may arise during the testing process.
Commercial Sump Pumps
Commercial sump pumps work much like residential ones. They protect commercial properties from potential damage by heavy rains, broken pipes, and storm drain backups, guaranteeing the building’s occupants’ safety. Apartment buildings, hotels, and other commercial buildings may have elevator sump pumps to prevent elevator shafts from flooding.
Sump Pump Troubleshooting
When it comes to preventing water damage attributed to basement flooding, your first line of defense at home is a sump pump. High water levels trigger a sump pump to redirect the excess incoming water. Like any other machinery, these important devices will wear out over time and eventually require replacement or repair.
To avoid severe water damage from home flooding, it’s important to immediately address any arising issue if you suspect your sump pump is malfunctioning. Some of the signs you should watch out for to seek sump pump maintenance include:
- Stuck float switch
- Mold, musty, or mildew smell
- Not running
- Loud noises
Our skilled staff are always available to provide sump pump emergency services. If your sump pump malfunctions, call our experts to help with repairs, replacements, and maintenance of any commercial and industrial sump pump.
