How to Tell If Your Sump Pump Needs Repairs
Does Your Home Take on Water?
There’s no disputing that the Seattle area gets its share of rain, but if you live in the Seattle area and your home has poor natural drainage, you’re looking at a situation where your basement floods several times per year. This is where a sump pump proves invaluable, because it will pump the water away from the property so you don’t have to worry about water damage. Sump pumps are also effective for relieving hydrostatic pressure that can build up behind the walls of your home’s foundation.
What Are the Different Types of Pump?
Knowing what the different types of pumps exist can help you choose the right one for your basement, and can help you get the right repairs when it gives you trouble. There are two types that are widely used today: pedestal pumps and submersible pumps.
- Pedestal pumps sits on top of a basin. They are air-cooled, so they require sufficient airflow to keep them from overheating, making them less than ideal for smaller basements.
- Submersible pumps, as the name implies, sit inside the sump pit and function off of a quieter, water-proof motor.
Regardless of the type of pump you have installed in your basement, it’s always a good idea to have a battery backup for it in case you experience a power outage during a severe storm. Having backup power will ensure that the pump is able to effectively do its job when you need it most.
How to Tell If Your Sump Pump Needs Repairs
The pump has to be in good working order to provide the kind of results you need, because rain can come in quickly resulting in a broken pump, you’ll be faced with a basement full of water. If the pump loses power due to a burnt out motor or damaged electrical components, then you need to call for repairs. If the pump has been used heavily and is bogged down by leaves and other debris, call to have it cleaned before it ends up breaking down on you.

Don’t Try It Alone
You may want to fix your sump pump quickly and get it back into action, but if you aren’t experienced in handling repairs, then you’ll probably do more harm than good with your DIY approach. Considering the important job you expect the pump to do on your property, trusting the job to anyone but an experienced professional is not a wise choice.
Your sump pump can be the difference between a clean, dry basement and costly cleanup or dangerous mold growth.

Don Leland

Derek Solberg showed up quickly and got right to work, figuring out my leak and how to fix it. He stayed late to get the job done and was kind and positive.
We went from, “Holy cow, our waterline blew, and our well turned our crawlspace and basement into a pond.” To “our water is back on, and we are good to go with updated piping.”
Thank you, Derek!

Chase Bolen replaced our hot water tank yesterday. He and apprentice arrived on time and carried out the task quickly and efficiently. He explained clearly how the leak sensor, alarm, and automatic shut-off worked as well as how to change the water temperature if desired. I have no hesitation about recommending their work.
