A submersible sump pump is one of those house-hold systems that is often unnoticeable until something goes wrong. Not every home in Hamilton has a sump pump, mind you, if you’re in the country or in an older home, or your grade is in a potential flooding/wet area (or close to water) then it’s likely you’d have one. Often you can hear it working during the spring as snow melts, or when it rains. Plumb Pros offers many services involving sump pumps, and we recommend you give our Hamilton plumbers a call to talk more about your Hamilton sump pump repair and if you may need a sump pump repair or sump pump replacement.
This is an obvious one, if the power goes out, your pump stops working. This is exactly why our plumbers recommend a battery back up! (see below for more about this)
Like having a car out in your yard without using it regularly, your sump pump is also required to start up every couple of months even if not using it to make sure it is still functioning properly and test all the lines. Make sure the pumps float has not been obstructed.
Having the wrong size means it has to work even harder to produce the proper function, which means it can also burn out quickly. It may also not be able to produce enough water if it’s too small. Having it installed correctly seems like another obvious one, but manufacturers require different things, and your home makes it unique too. Make sure you go with a qualified and licensed plumber like John the Plumber to ensure you have the right pump for your home and have it installed correctly.
Lightening may have hit nearby and overloaded the powerlines. A good submergible motor would have a built in arrestor so it can handle a voltage overload multiple times.
Debris can be an easy culprit, but so can frozen pipes. If water cannot discharge, your system will not work! We can offer a few solutions to prevent this, ask us how!
If your weeping tile is not working properly, your pump will struggle to remove the water from around your foundation effectively. If you have noticed some water damage coming through your floor, and your sump still seems to be working properly, you most likely have a blocked weeping tile. Keep this in mind if your house was built pre-1975. Before 1975 clay weeping tile was the norm, however, over the years it can become very brittle. With technological advances we are lucky to have better products, as this is not something we see anymore. Don’t forget to let Plumb Pros Hamilton know if you’d like us to assess your weeping tile system. Our plumbers can provide solutions for your basement water removal and other waterproofing solutions or Hamilton sump pump repair.
