Sump Pumps
We know sump pump maintenance might not be at the top of your to-do list, but don’t wait until you’re wading through a flooded basement after a downpour to think about it. Being proactive can save you from the headache of water damage and the costs that come with it. Sump pumps play a crucial role in keeping your basement dry, so it’s essential to keep them in tip-top shape. Don’t worry, though! Our friendly Gurus are always ready to help you out, so you can sit back and relax while we handle the heavy lifting.
What is a Sump Pump?
A sump pump is an essential piece of equipment that helps protect your home from water damage by preventing flooding in areas like basements, low-lying driveways, or any place where water tends to accumulate. It’s especially useful in homes with basements, where water can seep in due to heavy rain or a high water table.
The sump pump works by collecting water in a special container called a sump basin or pit, usually located in the lowest part of your basement. When the water level in the basin reaches a certain point, the pump is activated automatically by a switch, typically a float or pressure sensor.
Once turned on, the sump pump starts drawing water from the basin and pushes it out through a discharge pipe. This pipe directs the water away from your home, keeping your basement and other areas dry and safe from potential water damage.
In short, a sump pump is an important tool for homeowners to protect their property from flooding and water damage. By installing and maintaining a sump pump, you can have peace of mind knowing your home is safeguarded against excess water, even when you’re up against heavy rainfall or other challenging conditions.

Sump pumps are pretty low-maintenance, but it’s still important to give them a check-up at least once a year. Testing and inspecting your sump pump regularly can save you from the stress of water damage in case of heavy rain.
The good news is that it’s pretty easy for homeowners to perform this maintenance themselves. However, if you’d rather not get your hands dirty or you don’t have the necessary tools, our friendly Sump Pump Gurus are always here to help! We’re experts at routine sump pump maintenance and can troubleshoot any issues that might pop up during testing. So, whether you want to do it yourself or leave it to the pros, we’ve got your back!

If your pump is more than 5 years old, we usually recommend considering a replacement. While sump pumps are typically rated to last between 7 to 10 years, the cost of maintenance and repair can add up. In some cases, it can be as much as 50%-60% of the price of a brand-new pump, including labor. So, instead of investing in costly repairs, it might be more cost-effective to simply upgrade to a newer model.
Don’t hesitate to give us a call for any sump pump concerns you might have. We’re here to help, whether it’s troubleshooting over the phone or advising on a replacement.
