How Sump Pumps Work
Sump pumps keep your home from flooding due to a variety of situations, such as plumbing leaks and severe storms. They stop water from rising to a dangerous level in your house or building by pumping it out.
Sump pumps work best at your home’s lowest level, such as a basement or crawl space. Although they often run on electricity, sump pumps can also operate on batteries. You should keep a backup battery in your home to ensure that your sump pump continues to work when power outages occur during storms.
Signs That Your Sump Pump Needs Repair
You must stay on top of routine maintenance and repairs to ensure that your sump pump works as it should during a storm or other disaster. You don’t want to be stuck with a broken pump during a crisis. Call our professionals at GoodMan Plumbing if you notice any of the following issues with your sump pump.
- LOUD NOISES: If you hear unusually loud noises coming from your pump, they usually mean the intake is clogged or jammed, or there are other mechanical problems.
- CONSTANT RUNNING: If your sump pump doesn’t turn off quickly or at all, or if it runs all the time, it could mean your float switch is broken or faulty. A broken float switch can cause the pump to stay on and the motor to burn out. It could also mean that water is flowing back into the sump pit instead of out of the home, which is usually the result of a broken check valve. Both issues can cause your pump to break down.
- UNUSUAL SMELLS: A strange smell could result from several problems with your pump, including insufficient venting, improper sealing, or other installation issues. It can also indicate a clog or jam.
As soon as your sump pump shows any of these signs, reach out to us at GoodMan Plumbing immediately. We can help prevent it from malfunctioning when you need it the most.
If your sump pump is on the older side, it might need replacing instead of repair. Our team at GoodMan Plumbing would also be happy to assist you with this. Additionally, we also provide pipe leak repair services and also assist with water heater leak repair.
