What Is a Sump Pump?
Sump pumps are installed in your basement or crawl space within sump pits, which are typically about 2 feet deep. Designed to detect rising water levels, the sensors or float arm within the sump pump will switch the unit on automatically as the sump pit fills with water. Then, the water is pumped a safe distance away from your property and into a drainage area. Most sump pumps have between one-third to one-half horsepower and can effectively discharge 2,500 to 3,000 gallons of water per hour.
Sump Pump Installation & Replacement
Our plumbing contractors can install sump pits and sump pumps in new construction or existing homes. We can also replace your old sump pump with a new unit that provides more effective protection. The sump pump installation process is typically fast and straightforward, and your sump pump will provide years of flood protection for your home.
Sump Pump Repair
Sump pumps require minimal maintenance, but that doesn’t mean they can’t break eventually. Excessive use, age, and poor-quality construction can cause your sump pump to fail at a critical moment.
If you notice any sump pump issues, you need to schedule prompt plumbing repairs with a qualified plumbing contractor. The pros from Stuart Services can quickly repair sump pump problems and will thoroughly test your equipment for proper operation once we’re done.
Signs You Need Sump Pump Repairs
If you notice any of the following signs of sump pump damage, we recommend scheduling a repair appointment right away:
- Irregular cycling: If the unit is cycling irregularly, it may be because there’s nowhere to displace the water. This can happen during particularly heavy rainfalls.
- Constant operation: If your sump pump is constantly running, you could have a stuck float switch, a high water table, or a faulty valve.
- Corrosion: Corrosion can put excess strain on your sump pump when it operates and will eventually deteriorate the equipment.
- Excessive vibration: While some vibration is normal, sump pumps that vibrate excessively may have a damaged impeller or an overworked motor.
- Odd noises: Worn or damaged components can cause grinding or rattling sounds to come from your sump pump.
