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

We have a service plan at Doghouse Energy which covered all the expenses. We had to pay an electrician to come and rewire when the system was kicking off the breaker. Then Doghouse tech Coleman was able to reconnect to that wiring and got the system running again. Note that his first visit was i. The unbearable humidity and he had to go in the attic to work on the air handler. Glad they could figure it all out and all under the service contract. It did take awhile ( couple weeks) to get the electrician to speak with the tech to determine it was ready to be reconnected.

Response from the owner:Victoria, thank you so much for the 5-star review and for being a Dog House member! We’re glad Coleman was able to get everything reconnected and your system back up and running. We especially appreciate you recognizing his efforts working in the attic during that unbearable heat and humidity! We also appreciate your patience while the electrical work and communication between everyone involved were coordinated. We know that waiting a couple of weeks for a resolution can be frustrating, and we’re grateful for your understanding throughout the process. Most importantly, we’re happy everything was ultimately figured out and that your service plan provided the coverage you expected when you needed it.
