Hiring a sump pump company in San Jose, CA, is an excellent way to protect your home. These appliances extract water from low-lying areas like basements and crawlspaces. They also minimize the damages caused by whole-house back-ups, reduce indoor humidity, and stave off problems like mildew and mold.
Sump pump installation adds value to homes and keeps chronic moisture problems from having a long-term impact on their marketability. You need sump pump services if your home’s lowest level is prone to flooding, if it’s time for your sump pump’s annual maintenance, or if your current unit isn’t turning on or working correctly.
"Within minutes from sending them a request, they replied and within 2 hours, they sent their technician Tim to inspect. Tim was very courteous and explained my plumbing issues very well. He came back the following day to work on my issues and was done in no time. His work space was very clean after. Pricing was also very reasonable. Will definitely use them in the future." - Karen T.
Sump pumps are hardwired into residential electric systems and connected to drain systems. Plumbers and electricians are required for installation, maintenance, and repairs due to the connections of pipes and wiring. Sump pumps can be too large or too small for their service areas and demands, wired incorrectly, improperly capped, or overwhelmed. Other common problems with sump pumps include broken, dislodged, or clogged switches, clogged or frozen discharge lines, and missing or broken check valves.
Proper maintenance of sump pumps involves multiple steps to avoid issues during the rainy season. It also increases their longevity and allows for early detection and resolution of minor problems.
Here are the steps we take during a sump pump service call:
Remove basin debris
Clean the impeller and weep hole
Inspect and test electrical connections
Inspect and test the check valve
Clear blockages from the discharge pipe
Our plumbers take many of these same steps during minor sump pump troubleshooting and repairs.
Your sump pump might short cycle if it’s too small for the job. Short cycling can also occur when sump pumps are sufficient in size but installed in undersized pits. If your home’s water table is too high, resolving short cycling and other pump problems could be as easy as raising your sump pump pit or installing a secondary unit.
With routine maintenance, you can limit the likelihood of premature sump pump failure and keep your pump ready for extreme weather. When problems occur, you can turn to a trusted sump pump company to identify and resolve their underlying causes before they spiral out of control.
