Repairing or Replacing a Sump Pump

If you’ve noticed your sump pump isn’t running like it used to, or your pump is over seven years old, it’s time to start thinking about replacing your unit. You’ll want to be on the lookout for telltale signs that your sump pump is nearing the end of its life – signs such as a mildew smell or loud noises coming from the pump. You never want to try to push a sump pump beyond its capabilities, since you might end up with an inoperative pump in the worst possible scenario; the middle of a heavy storm. This will leave you with a flooded basement that can cause permanent damage to your home and your possessions.

If your current sump pump is struggling to get the job done, or has stopped working altogether, the best solution is to call a professional plumbing team – like the experts at AAA Well & Pump Service, LLC. – to come and inspect your pump. We’ll be able to quickly tell you if your unit can be repaired, or whether you’ll need to invest in a replacement pump. If it is time for an upgrade, we’ll gladly walk you through your options and answer any questions you have about the process before we proceed.
