How to know when it’s time to replace the sump pump?
If your house already has a sump pump and the basement is still damp, there may be a breakdown that needs to be urgently addressed. Let’s take a look at a checklist of signs that you have to change a sump pump:
- You heard strange sounds coming from your sump pump;
- Your sump pump runs non-stop, even in dry weather;
- The next reason is the appearance of damage and corrosion behind the pump;
- If the sump pump is rarely used, it adversely affects its proper operation;
- Installing a pump is not a do-it-yourself task, so very often, this is the cause of the failure. When buying or renting a home, be sure to ask for the help of a professional for inspection;
- If there are frequent power outages, and after that, the pump suddenly stops working, then there is a high probability that the power surge has damaged it;
- If your device has been running for a long time, it might be time to replace it;
- Well, the last obvious sign is a complete stop at the pump.
How long can the sump pump work?
Your pump will work hard to keep the bottom of the house dry if you take good care of it. Like any piece of equipment, a sump pump will last longer if it is regularly maintained and cleaned; and properly installed and repaired in the event of a breakdown. For the unfamiliar, this may seem complicated, and a novice may have many problems, but for the professionals at Superior Plumbing & Heating, any of your questions about a sump pump will be no problem.
With regular inspections and maintenance of your sump pumps by our trained staff, you can prevent common problems before they occur and extend the life of your device. You must be wondering: how many years does a sump pump last? A service technician will check it for cracks, rust, and leaks in the tank, pipes, and pump housing and check the power supply and float switch system, alarm, and battery. With this proper maintenance and care, your sump pump will give you 7 to 10 years of reliable service. And if your pump is no longer usable (not because of a breakdown, but because it will be worn out due to old age, a plumber from our company will make a professional replacement so that the new device will serve you as long).
How much does it cost to install a sump pump in London?
You weighed all the pros and cons and decided to install a sump pump. Let’s take a closer look at the question: how much does it cost to install a sump pump in London? And let’s be honest — this procedure may seem expensive at first glance, especially if the installation will take place in a house that was not previously prepared for installation. But if you need to remove the old broken pump and install a new one in its place, then the price will be much lower since there is no need for preparatory work.
Some additional factors can affect the cost of installing the pump: whether your basement is flooded due to recent rainfall, whether the basement infrastructure is challenging to install the pump, and what time of year you are installing the unit (rainy weather).
Although you can install the pump yourself and “save” money. But if you imagine the scale of destruction that can be caused by flooding the premises in your house due to improper work, then the price does not seem too high. A sump pump is a great long-term investment for your home, so contact Superior Plumbing & Heating for all the services you need at the most affordable price!
