Recommended Sump Pump Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures your sump pump functions properly, especially during heavy storms. Our plumbers at Arrow Plumbing perform the following tasks to keep your sump pump in top condition:

Visual Inspection: Check for signs of wear, leaks, corrosion, and any debris around the pump that might affect its performance.
Test the Pump: Pour water into the sump basin to simulate rising water levels and confirm the pump activates. Listen for unusual noises and verify that the discharge pipe is expelling water properly.
Clean the Pump Basket: If your sump pump has a basket or screen, we will remove and clean it to prevent debris from entering the pump.
Clean the Sump Basin: Remove any accumulated sediment, dirt, or debris from the sump basin to ensure efficient operation.
Inspect the Discharge Pipe: Check for damage or blockages in the discharge pipe to ensure water flows away from your home properly.
Test the Float Switch: Manually move the float switch to ensure it moves freely and triggers the pump at appropriate water levels.

Signs Sump Pumps Need to Be Repaired

To protect your house during major storms, here are some signs that your sump pump may need to be repaired:

Frequent cycling: If your sump pump is turning on and off frequently, even when there’s no apparent water buildup, it could indicate a problem.

Gurgling or humming noises: Unusual sounds from your sump pump can be a sign of a mechanical issue.

Water backup: If you notice water backing up in your basement or crawlspace, it’s a clear indication that your sump pump is not functioning properly.

Leaks: Check for leaks around the base of your sump pump or the sump pit.

Slow or no discharge: If your sump pump is taking longer to pump water out or isn’t pumping water at all, it may need to be repaired.

Burning smell: A burning smell coming from your sump pump is a sign of a serious problem and should be addressed immediately.

Types of Sump Pumps For Installation

Homeowners can choose from numerous types of sump pumps when installing a new system. Some of the most common types are:

Pedestal Pumps

These systems are best for shallow sump pumps or if you need easy access to the pump. They sit above the sump pit, making them easier to maintain and repair without reaching into the water. They can also be a slightly less expensive option compared to submersible pumps.

Submersible Pumps

These units are best for deep sump pits or finished basements where noise reduction is a priority. They are quieter than pedestal pumps and less prone to clogging from debris floating on the water’s surface, making them a good choice for basements with potential objects entering the sump pit.

Sewage Sump Pumps

These are specialized pumps designed to handle wastewater from homes and businesses. Unlike conventional sump pumps that remove groundwater from basements or crawlspaces, sewage sump pumps are specifically designed to handle sewage and wastewater.
