Sump Pump Problems

We fix sump pump problems.  A very common problem we see is a failed sump pump, that will not turn on even though the float has lifted.  The pump may need repair or replacement.  Sometimes a pump problem is just the float being obstructed, which will keep the pump stuck on or stuck off.  A sump pump set too low below the floor, could be too deep into the water table, causing it to turn on to often and pump water that is quickly coming right back.  Some sump pump problems will cause a loud noise when the sump pump turns on or off.  Another sump pump problem we fix is the sump pump discharge water draining too close to the foundation.  It is good to test your sump pump periodically or prior to spring, by manually lifting the float to make sure it turns on.  Check with us if your sump pump is not working properly.  We can help answer questions about the sump pump or inspect it. ​

Sump Pump Water Problems

Sump pumps are typically installed for solving problems related to a high water table under the basement floor.  The hydrostatic water pressure under the basement floor can rise up and cause flooding of the floor.  It can also cause leaking and damp cracks in the basement floor.  Overflow and standing water in a basement perimeter floor channel along the floor and wall edge is another problem that can be fixed with a sump pump solution. A sump pump is used to lower the water table and fix a water problem that is coming from below the floor.  Sump pumps will be most active when the ground thaws in the spring.  We also provide alternative basement waterproofing solutions for water problems and drainage for the exterior sump pump discharge water.

Sump Pump Installation & Repair

Sump Pumps are mainly installed for controlling a high or rising underground water table in a basement or home.  They also offer protection in case of a flood.  The location of a sump pump is very important and it should always be installed in the lowest area of the floor.  Sump pumps need to be properly piped and drained to a location that will not allow the pumped water to return.  We specialize in all types of drainage to make sure this is done properly.  Sump pumps have to be set at a correct depth below the floor in order to work the best.  If its too low into the water table it can cause the pump to run too much.  If the sump pump pit is too shallow or small, it can cause the pump to not run until the floor is already getting wet or flooded.  A water powered backup sump pump can be installed to backup the primary pump in case of pump failure or a power outage.  Call us for sump pump systems and solutions.

Sump Pump Replacement

Emergency sump pump replacement late at night or during the day.  We replace failed and faulty sump pumps.  The first things to check if a sump pump is not working properly is (1) the outlet has power and (2) the sump pump float is not rubbing against something that could cause it to not turn on or not stop running.  Call us if you have an old sump pump that needs to be upgraded or a sump pump discharge pipe that needs to be re-piped.

Sump Pump - Check Valve Replacement 

Installation and replacement of sump pump check valves.  There should always be a check valve on the sump pump discharge pipe, and if one doesn't exist on your current piping then one can always be installed.  The check valve has a flapper that closes when the pump turns off, and it prevents the water in the discharge pipe from flowing back into the sump pump pit area.  If one doesn't exist on the piping then the sump pump will run more often and have to pump the same water it already pumped before.

SILENT CHECK VALVES
​If your sump pump is making a loud knocking noise when the pump turns off, then the current check valve can be upgraded to a quiet check valve.  This will make the loud banging sound you may be hearing from the check valve flapper closing become silent.  We fix noisy check valves, check valves leaking water, and other sump pump problems.

Sump Pump Basins

​We install new basement sump pump basins and pit areas.  A hole is made in the basement floor for the sump pump basin.  Stone is installed around the outside of the basin.  The sump pump basin is then cemented into the basement floor and ready for the installation of a sump pump inside of it.

Sump Pump Drainage Systems

We install sump pump drainage systems and options for sump pump discharge pipes on the exterior of the home.  We pipe the sump pump water under the ground in 4 inch solid piping to divert and drain it away from the foundation walls.  The sump pump drainage pipe is pitched from end to end so it can gravity drain properly and prevent freezing.  Sump pump water that drains too close to the house can flood the ground and leak back into the basement.  We also provide installation of different solutions for draining the sump water once it is piped to a new location.  The options for draining a underground sump pump pipe are daylight draining it to the surface of the ground in a lower elevation area, draining it to a storm sewer drain, or draining it to a water leaching pit.  We also install a freeze protection fitting for a sump pump drainage system.

Sump Pump Freeze Protection

A sump pump discharge pipe can freeze on the outside of the home if it is not draining correctly.  If the sump pump pipe freezes, then the sump pump will stay stuck on causing it to overheat and possibly burn out.  The main thing that will prevent a exterior sump pump pipe from freezing is having a continuous pitch on the drain pipe, so water is not trapped in the pipe, which could then freeze.  If the sump pump is being piped under the ground in drainage, it is best to use 4 inch drain pipe because smaller diameter pipe can freeze easier.  Installation of a sump pump freeze protection fitting will adapt 1.5 inch pvc pipe to 4 inch drain pipe, and provide safety in winter for the sump pump system.

BackUp Sump Pump Installation 

​We install water powered backup sump pumps.  The installation of a backup sump pump can prevent a wet flooded basement incase the primary sump pump fails to turn on or the power goes out.  We also install secondary sump pump locations in some basements that need it.
