Choosing a Sump Pump Choosing a new sump pump for your home can be a little daunting. With such a technical piece of equipment, it can be hard to know what features to look for, and what a fair price is for each style of pump. There are two types of residential sump pumps – the pedestal and the submersible style pump. Submersible pumps are a little more common, and in these style pumps, the motor is located inside the unit. This configuration protects it against electrical issues, but can make repairs a little trickier. Generally, these pumps last anywhere from 5-15 years, but should be serviced routinely to keep them working efficiently beyond the 7-year mark. They do not clog as easily as the pedestal pump, which means they can generally run on their own, without any assistance from the homeowner or interruptions due to debris buildup. The pedestal […]

How to Know It’s Time to Replace Your Well Pump There are several signs that your well pump needs repair, some more noticeable than others. Perhaps the most obvious indicator is a total absence of water when you turn on the faucet. Though this can be traced to other issues, a faulty well pump is certainly something that should be considered. Similarly, a weak water flow, dirty water, or a sputtering of air when you turn on the water can also be warning signs that your well pump is on its way out. In some cases, you won’t notice a change in your water pressure at all. Instead, you may detect strange noises coming from your water tank, or you may hear that your pump runs nonstop. Perhaps you don’t realize there’s a problem until you receive an unexpectedly high utility bill. That is a wake-up call no one wants […]
