Schedule Your Sump Pump Maintenance

As a valued client of Preferred Plumbing Solutions, we want to ensure that your home remains safe and dry, especially during this season when heavy rains and melting snow can pose a threat to your basement. To avoid the nightmare of basement flooding, it’s crucial to keep your sump pump in tip-top condition.

Why Regular Sump Pump Maintenance is Essential:

  1. Prevent Basement Flooding: Sump pumps are your first line of defense against basement flooding. They are designed to pump excess water away from your home, but they need to be in perfect working order to do their job effectively.
  2. Extend the Lifespan: Regular maintenance not only ensures your sump pump works when needed but also extends its lifespan, saving you money on replacements.
  3. Reduce Emergency Repairs: Neglecting maintenance increases the risk of sudden pump failures, which can result in costly emergency repairs or, worse, a flooded basement.

Sump Pump Maintenance Tips:

  1. Test It Regularly: Run a test on your sump pump by pouring water into the pit. It should activate and pump the water away. If it doesn’t, or if it struggles, it may need attention.
  2. Check the Discharge Pipe: Ensure the discharge pipe is free from obstructions and directs water away from your foundation to a suitable drainage area.
  3. Clean the Pit: Remove any debris, dirt, or sediment that may accumulate in the pump pit. A clean pit allows the pump to work efficiently.
  4. Inspect the Power Source: Make sure the pump is properly plugged in, and the power source is functioning correctly. Backup power systems, such as a battery or generator, are also advisable.
  5. Consider a Backup System: Installing a backup sump pump is a wise move to ensure continued protection during power outages or primary pump failures.
  6. Schedule a Professional Maintenance: We recommend scheduling a professional sump pump inspection and maintenance service at least once a year. Our expert technicians can identify and address any issues you may have missed.
