Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sump pump, and why do I need one?
A sump pump is a device installed in the lowest part of your basement or crawlspace that helps remove excess water, preventing flooding and water damage. It’s essential for homes in areas prone to heavy rainfall or high water tables, like Oregon.
How does a sump pump work?
A sump pump sits in a pit, called a sump basin, and activates when water levels rise. The pump automatically turns on and directs the water away from your home’s foundation, typically to a storm drain or dry well.
What are the signs that my sump pump needs maintenance or replacement?
Common signs include unusual noises, the pump running constantly or not activating at all, water pooling in your basement, or the pump being more than 7-10 years old. Regular maintenance by our team can prevent these issues and ensure your pump operates efficiently.
How often should I test or maintain my sump pump?
It’s recommended to test your sump pump every few months, especially before the rainy season. Regular maintenance by our team, such as cleaning the sump pit and checking the discharge line, should be done at least once a year.
What should I do if my sump pump fails during heavy rain?
If your sump pump fails, it’s important to act quickly. First, ensure the power is on and the pump is plugged in. If it still doesn’t work, you may need to call one of our team members for emergency repair. Regular maintenance can help prevent such failures.
