If you’ve got a basement or any of your house is underground, it’s at risk of damage from groundwater. A sump pump can greatly reduce the risk that your basement will flood–but only if it’s maintained and working properly.

When you contact us about your sump pump, we do everything in our power to protect your home from water damage. We check your equipment and plumbing and recommend any necessary repairs to prevent issues down the road. If you already have damage from a faulty sump pump or plumbing, we can help with that, too.
It is typically installed in a sump pit, a specially constructed hole or basin that collects water from the surrounding area. When water enters the sump pit, the sump pump is designed to automatically activate and remove the water from the pit, pumping it away from the building.
Sump pumps are especially useful in areas with high water tables, heavy rainfall, or properties that are prone to flooding. By removing excess water, sump pumps help to protect the foundation of the building and prevent water damage to valuable belongings, electrical systems, and other vulnerable areas in the basement or crawl space.
During heavy rains, groundwater can seep into basements through cracks in the foundation, gaps in windows or doors, or other entry points. Sump pumps effectively mitigate this issue by collecting the water in the sump pit and pumping it out, either to a drainage system, a storm drain, or a designated area away from the building.
In addition to preventing flooding, sump pumps also help to control moisture levels in basements and crawl spaces. Excessive moisture can lead to the growth of mold, mildew, and the deterioration of building materials. By removing water, sump pumps contribute to maintaining a dry and healthy environment below ground level.
Sump pumps, like all appliances and devices in your home, require regular maintenance to keep them functioning. Because they pump groundwater, dirt or debris can clog them up, and many people don’t realize this until the pump isn’t working properly and water floods into their homes.
Because this device is so integral to your home, especially if you live somewhere with a lot of rain or snow, we recommend servicing your sump pump every six months for regular maintenance and inspections.
Sump Pump Maintenances should include the following:
There are some noticeable signs that can cue you in when your sump pump needs to be repaired or replaced. If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional, like those at Davis Plumbing, to check out the device.
Most sump pumps need to be replaced every 7 to 10 years, though this varies based on factors such as the frequency of use and the amount of water it displaces. You can extend the lifespan of your pump with regular maintenance, but at some point, it will need to be replaced. We recommend sump pump repair services when they make sense, but once it becomes too costly to maintain the equipment, replacing it is often the most effective choice.
