Sump Pump Service: Keep Your Home, Business Safe and Dry
Sump pump service play a vital role in protecting from basement flooding. By directing rainwater away from your foundation, sump pumps help to prevent costly damage and the spread of mold.
Why is sump pump service important?
Sump pumps are workhorses, but they can’t last forever. Over time, they can wear down and become less effective. That’s why it’s important to have your sump pump serviced regularly by a qualified professional.
A sump pump service typically includes the following:
- Inspection of the pump and sump pit for damage and debris
- Cleaning of the pump and sump pit
- Testing of the pump to make sure it is working properly
- Sump pump motor test to learn about the remaining life of your sump pump
How often should you have your sump pump inspected?
We recommend having your sump pump serviced at least once a year, preferably before the spring rainy season. However if your sump pump runs frequently, you may need to have it serviced more often. At least check after heavy rains to remove any debris in the sump pit.
