Benefits Of A Sump Pump

Typically, sump pumps are installed in home areas where water and moisture pose a problem. However, many homeowners opt for sump pump installation to deal with unpredictable weather.

Sump pumps are installed in sump pits, dug in the center of a basement to facilitate draining. Besides aiding in water drainage, sump pumps also provide the following benefits:

Prevents Flooding

The primary benefit of having a sump pump is to prevent flooding by diverting water away from the house and foundation during heavy rains.

Prevents Mold & Mildew

Excess moisture in the home provides a breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can cause structural damage and health problems. Sump pumps eliminate standing water, which reduces the chance that mold and mildew can take hold.

Prevents Insect & Pest Infestations

Dam basements are like a playground for insects, rodents, and other pests, so installing a sump pump helps keep the area dry, making it less likely you’ll have to deal with these infestations.

As you can see, there are various benefits to having a sump pump installed, all of which protect your valuable property. If you’re convinced that a sump pump is right for you, call the experts at Pristine Plumbing, Inc. to set up an appointment.

How To Maintain Your Sump Pump

For many Orange County homeowners, sump pump maintenance is so far down on their list of household chores that it may as well not exist. However, seeing as how your sump pump is essential for keeping your home dry during heavy rains, neglecting the maintenance of this critical system can cost you thousands in damages later.

Fortunately, sump pump maintenance isn’t complicated or time-consuming. So put a reminder on your phone and do these simple steps to ensure your sump pump will be ready to work when it’s needed.

Do These Steps Every 3-4 Months

  • Clean the pump inlet screen
  • Check the power cord and ensure that the system is connected to the power
  • Dump a bucket of water into the sump to raise the float and ensure the pump activates

Do These Steps Once A Year

  • Take the pump out of the sump, inspect it, and clean the sump
  • Lubricate the pump’s bearings if required
  • Check the power cord to ensure the unit is connected to the power
  • Dump a bucket of water into the sump to raise the float and ensure the pump activates

If you find that you still don’t have the time to perform these maintenance tasks, call the pros at Pristine Plumbing, Inc. for service.

Signs It’s Time To Replace Your Sump Pump

It’s said that April showers bring May flowers, but they don’t tell you that those showers can wreak havoc on a basement with flooding that can cost in the thousands to repair.

So, before you come home after a storm to find your basement has flooded because your sump pump failed, get to know these warning signs that things aren’t right and then call a professional sump pump contractor for help.

Age

Like every appliance, your sump pump won’t last forever. Most sump pumps have a lifespan of 10 years, and while many factors affect the longevity of these systems, such as how frequently they’re used and the quality of the manufacturing, it’s wise to plan on replacing your sump pump once it nears the end of its life.

Corrosion

Another sign that your sump pump is on the way out is visible rust on the unit. While you may think that rust is a natural part of the system aging, the fact is that rust can come from what’s called iron bacteria. Iron bacteria is a gel known to clog sump pumps, making them ineffective when you need them most.

Loud Operation

While it’s normal for your sump pump to make noise when it’s running, it shouldn’t operate loudly. Loud operation often means there are loose or worn-out parts that need replacing. Also, be aware of grinding or rattling sounds, indicating that you have a damaged impeller.

The System Won’t Shut Off

Do you notice that your sump pump runs constantly? If so, it could be caused by a variety of reasons, including:

  • The switch has lost its connection to the power source
  • The pump can’t handle the volume of water for which it’s designed
  • The sump pump doesn’t have the horsepower to do the job you need it to do

The Unit Comes On At The Wrong Times

If you notice that your sump pump cycles on and off during heavy rains, it may indicate a problem with the float switch position causing the pump to activate with a minimal amount of water.
