Winfrey Plumbing encourages our customers to schedule regular sump pump service in Bellevue, NE. Sump pumps experience a great deal of wear and tear through their normal operation. Without regular professional attention, a pump can fail suddenly when you need it most. Routine maintenance will give you peace of mind that you’re protecting your home or business from water damage.
"Very pleasant staff, punctual and arrived on time. Informative and to the point. Charged a nickel, in comparison to a dollar from other companies. Absolutely would recommend due to their honesty and integrity. We appreciate the service." - Nic M.
Our experts recommend yearly sump pump service. This involves a multi-point inspection and a thorough cleaning of the unit. Our plumber can correct any normal wear and tear. We can also recommend proactive repairs. If a part has serious wear, it’s better to replace it now rather than wait for it to fail.
Three main types of sump pumps require service: submersible, pedestal, and backup. Submersible pumps require the most maintenance because they operate in the water and muck. Pedestal units sit above it and so need a lot less maintenance. That said, you should still schedule an annual inspection. Battery backup systems are there to protect you against a power outage. They require comprehensive testing every year as well.
Should you repair or replace a sump pump? The answer depends on the age and condition of the pump. Sump pumps that get regular sump pump service can easily last 10 years. The seven-year mark is usually the right time to opt for replacement over repair. If the unit is newer than that, a repair usually makes the most financial sense.
A float switch is an example of a component that experiences great wear and tear. You may experience a jammed float switch from time to time. An isolated issue typically isn’t cause for concern. If it keeps happening, it is cause for concern because it can jam when it’s raining. It’s usually best to go ahead and replace the switch, which is a relatively inexpensive part.
Watch for the signs that your sump pump may need service:
Irregular cycling
Excessive vibration
Unable to clear water
Unusual sounds
Repeated tripped circuit breakers
