🌧️ Is Your Sump Pump Ready For The Next Heavy Rain?
A failed sump pump can lead to thousands of dollars in basement water damage in just a matter of hours. Because these systems spend most of their time sitting idle, it's easy to forget about them—until a heavy storm hits and it's too late.
Don’t wait for a flooded basement to find out your pump has given out. Watch for these 3 warning signs that your sump pump needs professional attention:
Strange Noises: If your pump sounds like a washing machine full of rocks, or is rattling and vibrating excessively, it likely has a damaged impeller or a failing motor.
Constantly Running or Cycling: A pump that turns on and off every few seconds—or never shuts off at all—is working overtime. This usually points to a stuck float switch or a failing check valve.
It's Past Its Prime: Most standard sump pumps have a reliable lifespan of about 7 to 10 years. If yours is pushing a decade, it’s a ticking time bomb for a rainy day.
Protect your home and your peace of mind. Let our licensed plumbing experts inspect, test, or upgrade your sump pump system before the next big storm.
