Signs that you have to change a sump pump

Your sump pump system works hard to guard your home against the nasty impact of floods. Like any other equipment, it wears over time and requires replacement.

Read on to find out how to determine if your sump pump needs to be changed:

  • Permanently running pump (equipment that runs for a long time is not capable enough to cope with the volume of water or to push the water to the required depth);
  • Water leakage in the basement (your sump pump is most likely not working correctly if water accumulates or puddles appear in your basement);
  • Noisy and weird sounds (if the sound is louder than a soft whirring, it may be a sign of a malfunction, like a faulty motor or impeller jamming);
  • Intermittent performance (installing a bigger pool is the best solution if you are facing this issue);
  • An old unit (on average, sump pumps last for about 7-10 years, then it is preferable to replace the equipment).

We at Superior Plumbing & Heating can be of service to you should you notice any of these signs. We offer fast and cost-effective sump pump servicing in Hamilton, 24 hours a day, whenever an emergency occurs!

How many years does a sump pump last?

This can be 3, 5 or even 10 years, depending on how well it is maintained, the quality and type of the pump itself and the frequency of its usage. Unfortunately, you can’t predict when a pump will fail, so it is better to conduct regular maintenance to have a specialist inspect the condition of your equipment and prevent the issues before it’s too late.

Superior Plumbing & Heating team offers routine inspection of your sump pump (from general visual inspection to checking the float switch, the valve, discharge outlet lines, the tank, motor and battery). We know your pump backwards and forwards and can identify and repair any threats early on to ensure the continued trouble-free operation of your unit!

How much does it cost to install a sump pump in Hamilton?

The installation cost can differ significantly from location to location due to factors such as permit fees, labour and parts costs. Other aspects that form the total price are:

  • The type you choose (pedestal ones are less costly to install than submersible ones);
  • The size of the equipment (the larger the unit, the more expensive its installation will cost);
  • Sump reservoir;
  • Floor type (drilling concrete floor will boost the final price);
  • Backup battery installation.

In most cases, from a financial standpoint, there is no good time to install equipment such as a sump pump. We at Superior Plumbing & Heating fully understand this and strive to provide our customers with the most competitive prices in the area so they can afford their safety. We guarantee first-class and caring service at a reasonable price!
