"This is our 3rd year as one of your clients. We have always found you to be punctual and efficient."
At the bottom of the basement lies a forgotten hero. This piece of equipment works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 52 weeks of the year keeping the basement a dry usable living space – I am of course talking about the basement sump and pump unit. Below we can see some pictures from one of our basement sump and pump specialists that show a clients pump that we service and the condition that a pump unit can get into in just 12 months.
Clearly evident on the pump are 12 months worth of dirt, limescale and clay which can build up on the pump unit leading to the pump unit having to work harder than it should.
As you can see following a ‘Clean and Check’ service the sump and pump are looking as good as the day they were first installed – giving the home owner peace of mind that the pump will provide another 12 months of trouble free service.

It’s amazing what our engineers find when they are cleaning out sump pump units. Here we have a photo taken by one of our London maintenance engineers whilst performing a ‘Clean & Check’ pump service on a commercial pump unit in a London basement.
The waterproofing system that was in place did not have any filters on the inlets, allowing all manner of things to enter the sump pump unit and potentially cause problems to the impeller. All the items you can see in the photo were actually stuck in the impeller!
Thankfully the Basement Sump & Pump Co got to this pump in time but if left unchecked performance would have been seriously impeded creating a potential flood risk.
To make sure your basement sump and pump is in tip top condition simply call us to arrange a ‘Clean
and Check’ – don’t forget if you do not get your pump serviced you may also be invalidating your guarantee! Simply call 0800 019 9949 or complete our on-line request form for more information.
Here’s another great example of what our engineers find in customers sumps. On a recent annual ‘Clean & Check’ visit our engineer prepared to start the cleaning of the sump – nothing strange there, until he looked inside the sump and found 3 inches of mud in the bottom of the sump! The customers property had a stream running nearby which as a result caused unexpected levels of mud and silt build up in the sump.
Our engineer removed all the mud from the sump and gave the sump and pump unit a thorough service leaving it in tip top condition and ready for another 12 months work. If the customer had neglected the pump and not had it serviced it would have tried to suck up the mud up along with any water that was in the sump. This would have caused either the pump to burn out or the impellers to split – either way incurring costs as a result.
To keep your basement sump and pump in tip top condition simply call us to arrange a ‘Clean and Check’ – don’t forget if you do not get your pump serviced you may also be invalidating your guarantee! Simply call 0800 019 9949 or complete our on-line request form for more information.
Heres two great pics of a basement pump unit before and after cleaning. The before picture clearly shows the lime build up on the pump unit and the after showing a clean unit after descaling. I know which pump I’d want protecting my basement and keeping it dry!
