Install or Repair a Sump Pump – Wilton CT (203) 635-4461
A functional drainage system is a key area for the home. Keeping water away from the foundation is important to maintaining the solid structure. Most homes utilize sump pump drainage systems as part of the regular maintenance. However, a sump pump might not run regularly depending on the location.
Using downspouts, gutters and landscaping grade can help to prevent water intrusion. Even with these barriers, water could find its way towards your home. Because most of this occurs underground, a fully functioning system can prevent excessive damage.
That is why the initial setup for a sump pump is essential. Incorrectly installing the sump pump can lead to problems and defeat the purpose of having one. The Plumbing Artisans Plumbing will know the appropriate size and horsepower required for your home.
While using a sump pump installation plumber is crucial to having quality products and a guaranteed installation, the pump does not last forever. Sump pumps, like other machines, will require periodic maintenance and repairs. Some of the common problems include:
- Malfunction of float triggers. This occurs when floats get caught on something and rising water levels are not detected.
- Replace every eight to 10 years. Rust or burn out may occur over time. You can avoid lock-up by running the machine occasionally. Pouring water into the well during dry seasons will activate the pump.
