Your sump pump shouldn’t run continuously. If you find that it does, the best case scenario is a simple float switch repair. If that still doesn’t solve the issue, your pump may not be able to handle its water levels and as a result, should be replaced.
If your sump pump goes long periods of time without being used, it is likely to have a shorter lifespan and require a premature replacement.
In the event your sump pump’s motor is struggling, it may be time to consider replacing the pump altogether. If the motor isn’t working or gets stuck frequently, it can actually be more cost effective to replace the unit entirely rather than continue repairing it.
Odd or disconcerting sounds coming from your sump pump can signal damaged or worn components. Any banging, grinding, or rattling sounds are all cause for concern.
Sometimes old age is enough of a reason on its own to replace your sump pump. Over time, wear and tear will make your pump less effective. Any sump pump over seven years of age is considered outdated and a replacement should be in order.
Any visible rust on your unit is a clear sign that your sump pump has begun deteriorating. Rust can complicate water flow to your drainage system and should be dealt with right away.
Any time your sump pump is vibrating uncontrollably, there is likely an issue with the impeller. Impellers become damaged when debris is sucked up into them. Damaged impellers are very difficult to repair and typically result in a total pump replacement.
In addition to those, we also work with many other great brands. And if it’s only a repair you need, we trained and certified to fix just about any make and model.
Summer is an ideal time for sump pump installation or replacement because it typically offers drier weather conditions. This makes working on your basement or crawl space easier and reduces the risk of immediate water intrusion during the process. It’s also a good time to prepare for the heavy rains that may come in the fall or during Louisville, KY storm seasons.
Signs that your sump pump needs replacement include: strange noises, failure to activate, frequent cycling on and off, or if it’s more than seven to ten years old. Regular maintenance inspections from our team in the summer can help identify these issues early on, where they may be repaired, effectively preventing a premature replacement.
Yes, a properly installed and functioning sump pump can effectively manage water runoff from heavy summer storms, helping to prevent basement flooding and water damage. Be sure to rely on our experts to ensure your sump pump is properly installed and can function as efficiently as possible.
Most of our sump pump installations or replacements can be completed in a single day, though the exact timeframe may vary based on your home’s specific requirements and any additional waterproofing needs.
To keep your sump pump in good condition, clean the sump pit, check the float switch, test the pump by pouring water into the pit, and inspect any electrical connections. Lastly, schedule professional maintenance with the Sal's Heating & Cooling, Plumbing & Sewer team if you’re unsure about these steps, or if you discover a problem with your sump pump that requires repair.
