Sump Pump Installation and Replacement

Whether replacing a pump or installing one for the first time, choosing the right configuration for your home is crucial. Most homeowners will need a 1/2-horsepower submersible pump. Submersibles are preferable to pedestal pumps because they handle a higher volume of water. It’s also vital to pair your primary backup with a battery-powered secondary. In the event the power goes out, the backup will cycle on automatically to protect your home.

Modern sump pumps have a wide range of advanced features. Many have an LCD that displays an error code when something is wrong. You can look it up in your owner’s manual and have an idea of what’s going on. Smart sump pumps can connect to your home network through Wi-Fi. That lets you monitor the pump remotely. It also allows the pump to push notifications to you, such as when it turns on or the backup takes over.

Sump Pump Repair

Be wary of any power-related issues with your sump pump. If your pump trips its breaker or outlet occasionally, it’s important to find out why. During a rain event, the pump will cycle on and off often. That’s a lot of opportunity for the system to trip and be nonfunctional.

Likewise, get to the bottom of frequent clogging and jamming. These are issues that will often rear their heads at the most inopportune times. Frequent clogging may mean the system needs a good cleaning. It could also indicate a problem with the drainage line or impeller. Jamming float switches are perhaps the most common sump pump trouble.

Often, calibration is the fix. Still, it’s a relatively inexpensive part and worth replacing proactively if there are any indications of wear.

Some of the signs that something is wrong with your sump pump include:

Frequent repairs
Older than a decade
Visible rust or damage
Excessive vibration or noise
