Sump Pump Repair & Installation in Ashford, AL

Maintaining your home's sump pump system is crucial to maintaining a dry basement. Similar to other mechanical systems in your home, a sump pump requires regular service to run smoothly.

Why Sump Pump Maintenance is Essential

Getting an expert to check your pump system every year is smart. An experienced technician will be able to spot potential issues, such as detached connections, sediment buildup, or other problems that may cause malfunction if not corrected.

As part of annual maintenance, your system will be carefully checked to ensure optimal performance. Your technician will run through multiple components of the system, make sure the intake valve and impeller are clear, and perform a comprehensive system cleaning.

Once the system is clean, the liner will be checked for any silt or debris, this helps to prevent future blockages and ensures the system doesn't clog down the line.

Backup Systems for Sump Pumps

Even if your sump pump works perfectly may stop working during a power outage. Installing a battery backup system makes sure your basement stays dry, during blackouts.

Your technician can examine the backup system during the annual service visit, ensuring it's holding a proper charge and available when needed if needed during an outage.

Additional Services

Aside from the sump pump, our technician will also check your dehumidifier. For those with a dehumidifier, we'll clean and change out the filters to ensure efficient operation. The technician will lubricate necessary components and look for potential problems that could arise.

The discharge line will be examined to confirm proper drainage. Concerns about freezing in the line will be addressed to ensure it stays functional during winter months.

Proactive Solutions & System Improvements

During routine maintenance, our technician might see emerging issues that were not apparent earlier. By catching these problems early, solutions can be recommended to avoid major problems.

In some cases, the technician may suggest improvements, as we introduce new features to ensure your home stays dry.

Why a Lifetime Pump Warranty Matters

Warranties on sump pumps are valuable, but know the terms. When warranties include replacement coverage, consider when you’d be able to take advantage of it. The answer is often when it’s too late and the damage is done.
