Signs You Need a Sump Pump
Sump pumps can provide a ton of benefits to customers who have a few of these characteristics in their home:
- You’ve arrived home to an overflowing cellar or different low-level room on several occasions.
- The region that you reside in is very flat and is prone to standing water over a period of time.
- You own a sump pump, but it is old and doesn’t run as effectively as it once did.
Sitting in a flooded cellar following a huge storm is a stressful experience that nobody desires to be a part of. Rooms such as cellars, laundry rooms, and garages need to be heavily protected since they are more susceptible to flooding than other rooms in your house. Although it may not appear as if there is anything you are able to do, a nice system to defend your low-level areas is a sump pump.

We’ll also talk to you about installing backup power for your sump pump. This will ensure that the pump works even if the power goes out. If Plano suffers a major storm, this could save your home from damage and you from quite a bit of stress.
Importance of a Backup Pump
While your sump pump typically keeps water from your basement floor, there are times that a backup sump pump could be an asset. Many sump pumps work the most during occurrences like heavy rain. However, loss of power at these times can leave your sump pump useless. In cases of power loss, your battery-powered backup sump pump will activate to supplement your primary pump, keeping your basement from flooding.
Take a look at your backup sump pumps below:
- Battery-powered system – Battery-powered sump pumps don’t need a continuous water flow and can self-activate by using an alert system that triggers when your main pump stops.
- Water-operated system – Unlike battery-powered systems, water-operated systems are pricier to install, but offer unlimited power time.
- No matter what style of pump you are looking for, our experts can provide fast, convenient installation or repair services for your sump pump backup.
Sump Pump Maintenance
Most sump pumps are designed to be used fairly frequently. Without frequent use, they don’t tend to function as well. If you haven’t heard your pump kick on in a while, or you haven’t experienced the heavy rain that usually makes your pump turn on, give us a call.
Our plumbers know how to test your pump, not only to see if it turns on, but to see if it’s working as it should. They can also show you how to turn it on manually, so you can run it regularly yourself in the future.
Some sump pumps require other maintenance, and our plumbers are trained to perform that, too. We’ll work according to the manufacturer’s specifications to make sure that your pump is doing everything it needs to do to keep your home safe from unwanted water.
Sump Pump Repair
If your Plano sump pump isn’t working, you may notice because your basement is wet. However, you may also notice that something sounds or smells off with your pump. These can both be indicators that you need Plano sump pump repair, even if technically it’s still moving water as it should.
No matter the issue, we can help. Our plumbers are experts at assessing sump pumps, determining what has gone wrong with them, and getting everything back to working order again. We can also recommend some water damage mitigation companies, in case your pump failed entirely and your home has suffered because of it.
