Why You Need Basement Pump Servicing Carried Out?

How Is Basement Pump Servicing Carried Out?
The first step in the sump pump maintenance process is to see the reasons why the sump pump system has failed. There are a number of reasons for this and these could be:
-
- If the pipe has become blocked due to debris for example, then the sump pump system will fail to pump away from the water from the property.
- The float switch may not work properly. The float switch is essential for the sump pump system to work. If the water in the sump pump pit has blocked with wet wipes or paper for example then the water will struggle to move freely and the float switch will struggle to operate appropriately.
- The impeller could be blocked. Just like the float switch, the impeller is an important part of the sump pump system and if this has become blocked from debris or dirt then the sump pump will not function.
Once all the checks have been made by the specialist, depending on the sump pump problem then maintenance work will need to be carried out. We would recommend that you have a backup pump if you don’t already have one already.
If your property is in a flood-prone area then the power supply can easily be lost so it always worth having a backup pump as the cost of repairing water damage can be extensive.
