Hire a qualified specialist to install or replace your sump pump correctly in Ajax!

Professional involvement is needed in any service sector, and plumbing is no exception to this rule. When it comes to a dry basement, the main way to achieve this result is through the installation of a sump pump – a motor device, the primary purpose of which is to pump the water from one location and release it in another away from your house.

How to determine that your sump pump needs replacement?

  • The device is too old. The most obvious reason to think about sump pump renewal is using the same plumbing equipment over 8-10 years. During this time, the internal mechanism can wear out strongly, resulting in reduced efficiency, and heavy rainfall will seriously threaten your property. On arrival, our technician will quickly notice signs that you have to change a sump pump due to wear and tear and will replace it in a blink of an eye.
  • It runs constantly. If your device doesn’t turn on and off properly, then a defective float switch may be the cause. In turn, both sump pump shifts inside the basin and loss of connection with a power source could lead to a faulty one. A pump that runs continuously is likely incapable of handling the required amount of water and will need to be replaced by a qualified specialist.
  • It has visible rust. Some people attribute rust to acid leakage from batteries. However, bacteria may play a significant role in rust accumulation as well. The harmful gell, known as iron bacteria, is responsible for discolouration. Although it is not harmful to humans, it can pose severe troubles for drains and sump pumps – it obstructs pipes and prevents water from draining.

How long does a sump pump system last?

There is simply no clear answer to this question, and the explanation for this is quite simple – your device doesn’t run all the time. This means that some homeowners have sump pumps idle in “off” mode for months, while others have to use them on a regular basis. Like any other mechanical system, it will eventually fail in the long run. However, our team believes that the typical pump could last around 10 years with proper maintenance. This low-cost measure can help keep your basement dry and safe from floods. From cleaning the discharge line to float switch tests – our Superior Plumbing & Heating technician will check, clean up and replace all faulty components. How many years does a sump pump last? Much more than you think if you get a professional inspection once a year.
