Reliable Sump Pump Installation: Top Factors to Consider Before Calling a Professional
Sump pump installation is an essential safeguard for homes at risk of flooding due to heavy storms or rising water levels from nearby watercourses. These pumps work by efficiently removing excess water before it can damage your basement or foundation. At Drain Charmer Plumbing and Rooter, Inc., our experts assess your property to determine if a sump pump is the right solution and provide professional installation services to keep your home protected.
- Flood Risk in Your Area: Evaluate your home’s flood risk by considering your location, basement level, and past water damage. Homes in low-lying areas or near watercourses are more prone to flooding, making a sump pump a valuable investment.
- Type of Sump Pump: Decide between a pedestal or submersible sump pump based on your specific needs. Pedestal pumps are ideal for easier access and maintenance, while submersible pumps are better for high water volume and quieter operation. We’ll help you make the right choice for your property
- Capacity and Horsepower: The size of your sump pump and its motor’s horsepower should match your home’s flood risk and water removal needs. A larger pump with more power is essential for areas with frequent or heavy flooding. Our experts can recommend the appropriate size and capacity for your home.
- Battery Backup System: Power outages often occur during storms, which means your sump pump could fail just when you need it most. A battery backup ensures the pump continues to work even if your main power supply goes down, providing added peace of mind.
- Discharge Location: The water removed by the sump pump needs to be safely discharged away from your home. Proper placement of discharge lines is critical to prevent water from flowing back into your basement. Our team ensures compliance with local regulations and optimal placement.
- Maintenance and Durability: Consider the maintenance needs and lifespan of the sump pump you choose. Regular servicing extends the life of your pump and ensures it’s ready to handle flooding when the time comes. We offer maintenance plans to keep your pump in excellent condition.

Sump Pump Maintenance and Repair
- Unusual Noises: Strange or loud noises, such as grinding, rattling, or humming, could indicate a problem with the motor, impeller, or other internal components. Ignoring these sounds can lead to further damage, so it’s best to have your pump inspected by a professional plumber.
- Constant Running: If your sump pump is running continuously, even when there’s no water to remove, it may be due to a stuck switch or a misaligned float. This overworking can wear out the motor quickly, so repairs are needed to address the issue.
- Water Fails to Pump Out
If your sump pump is running but not effectively removing water, it could be due to a clogged discharge pipe, a damaged impeller, or other internal blockages. Immediate repair is necessary to restore its functionality before flooding occurs. - Power Issues or Frequent Shutoffs: If your sump pump frequently loses power, trips circuit breakers, or shuts off unexpectedly, it could be an electrical issue or a sign of motor failure. A professional inspection can identify and resolve the problem safely.
- Visible Rust or Corrosion: Rust or corrosion on your pump’s components can compromise its performance and lead to malfunctions. This is especially common if your water contains high iron content. Repairs or component replacements may be required to extend the life of the pump.
- Odors or Leaks: Foul odors coming from your sump pit may indicate stagnant water or a malfunctioning pump. Similarly, leaks around the pump housing could signal damaged seals or worn-out parts. Both issues need professional attention to prevent further complications.
If you notice any of these signs, contact our exert plumbers for professional backflow prevention equipment repair. Call us today to schedule a service and ensure your system is running safely and efficiently!
