If you’re a property owner looking to protect your property from the consequences of plumbing, then a sump pump installation is non-negotiable.

What’s a sump pump and how does it work?

A sump pump is a small device usually installed in the basement or lowest part of your property. It is designed to prevent flooding and water damage. Sitting in a specially dug hole in your basement floor, the sump pump waits for water to accumulate. As soon as it senses excess water in the pit, the pump kicks into action to send away the water from your basement and property.

It's a simple solution that offers a priceless peace of mind. By preventing excess water from lingering in your basement, a sump pump helps you avoid costly water damage, mold growth, and structural problems that can result from flooding.

Sump Pumps

Sump pumps require routine maintenance

The sump pump activates automatically, but it’s not autonomous; it needs a hand every now and then. Regular maintenance is key to ensuring it’s ready to work when you need it most. Here are some maintenance tasks to remember to perform:

  • Check and test the power source. Make sure it’s plugged into a grounded outlet and that any backup batteries are not dead.
  • Test the float switch by pouring a bucket of water into the sump pit. This should automatically activate the pump. If not, arrange a sump pump repair as soon as possible.
  • Debris and sediment can accumulate in the pit over time. Clear out any dirt or debris regularly.
  • Similarly, make sure the discharge pipe is free of blockages and directs water at least 10 feet away from your home’s foundation.

Signs your sump pump needs repair or replacement

Even with regular maintenance, sump pumps don’t last forever. The average lifespan of a sump pump is about 7 to 10 years, granted this can vary depending on how well it was installed, how often it’s used, and how well it was maintained. With that said, here are some signs that it’s time for your sump pump repair in Hendersonville:

  • Excessive rattling, grinding, or thudding noises.
  • Constantly running.
  • Turns on and off frequently.
  • There’s visible rust and physical damage.
  • Does not activate when you pour water into the pit.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your unit, you are welcome to call Mr. Rooter to get in touch with a sump pump installer in Hendersonville. We’re happy to schedule a convenient appointment or set up an urgent dispatch for as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs that I need a new toilet? 

If your toilet constantly runs, leaks, or clogs, it might be time for a replacement. Newer models are also much more water-efficient, so upgrading could save you money on your water bill. If you’re unsure, a plumber can help assess whether a repair or replacement is best.

Why is my garbage disposal jammed? 

Garbage disposals can get jammed if something hard or non-food items like silverware or bones get stuck in them. Turn off the disposal before trying to clear the jam, and never use your hands to remove the blockage. If you can’t fix it, a plumber can help.

What is a sump pump, and do I need one? 

A sump pump helps prevent flooding in basements by collecting and redirecting water away from your home. If you live in an area that’s prone to heavy rain or flooding, or if you’ve had water issues in your basement before, a sump pump can be a valuable addition.

How can I conserve water with my plumbing system? 

Installing water-efficient fixtures, fixing leaks promptly, and being mindful of water usage are all great ways to conserve water. You can also consider upgrading to a low-flow toilet or faucet to reduce water consumption.

Why does my drain smell bad? 

A smelly drain is often caused by a buildup of debris like food or grease, which can create bacteria and odors. In some cases, it could also be a sewer issue. Cleaning the drain or calling a plumber can usually take care of the smell.
