Schedule Service for Your Sump Pump, Stay Flood Free!

Schedule Service for Your Sump Pump, Stay Flood Free! - Image 1

 

 

You might think that once you install a sump pump system inside your basement or crawl space, you’ll never have to worry about floods again. Unfortunately, that could not be further from the truth. 


That’s why scheduling annual maintenance for your sump pump is so important!


Your sump pump is an electro-mechanical piece of equipment that needs to be cleaned and serviced, just like your car when it needs an oil change. No one wants to drive a car with dirty, used oil inside of it for months, only to pay the price in the future when the car’s engine gets damaged. 


Now apply that same logic to your sump pump system. Why let it continue to run with filthy water inside of it, or run the risk of it getting clogged with dirt or debris? If it becomes so clogged to the point where it can no longer pump out water like it’s supposed to – your home could suffer the consequences. A major flood could occur, resulting in some serious water damage or negative effects on your health. Water damage is costly and lots of water inside a basement makes it easier for mold to thrive, which can be detrimental for both your wallet and your health. 


Our sump pumps systems are powerful and truly do protect your homes from floods, but even they need a checkup once in a while. Although we often install our UltraSump Battery Backup System as well to keep your sump pump running in case there’s a tripped circuit or power failure, it needs to get tested too. 


Our company’s service technician will personally come out to your home to perform an annual maintenance check on your sump pump system and verify that everything is working properly. 


The service technician will perform the following tasks during your annual maintenance check for your sump pump:
•    Checking for proper pump operation
•    Removing any silt and sediment from the sump liner
•    Changing the batteries for the WaterWatch alarm
•    Examining the discharge line for any issues
•    Inspecting your basement or crawl space and providing any recommendations if necessary
