The Need to Call for a Repair Service!
Sump pumps are used in basements to protect your property from flooding and water buildup. This is especially helpful when your home foundations are prone to moisture. Like any other electrical or mechanical appliance, a sump pump too will start to fail if it reaches its designed lifespan. The following are some signs that it is time to get a sump pump repair service.
Your pump is not working properly.
One of the first signs that your sump pump is malfunctioning could be that you are now using the bathroom 5 times a day. If you find it running for long periods of time without having to be replaced, then this is a sign that your pump is damaged. The longer your pump is running without having to be replaced, the more likely it is that it is starting to fail.
Your basement is flooding.
If you find your basement is flooding more than it should, then this is another sign that your sump pump is failing. Also, if your basement is flooding when your pump is running, then this is another sign that your sump pump is failing. While there are other reasons why your basement could be flooding, a sump pump that is failing is one of them. You should have it checked then.
It keeps priming.
If your sump pump keeps priming, there could be a problem with its float or its electrical parts. A new one is going to be able to fix this without the need to prime it every single time.
It is getting louder.
If your sump pump is already noisy, you can assume it is already damaged. This could either be from parts that are wearing down or parts that are stuck. If you have ever repaired one before, you know how hard it is to fix. If it is not repairable, it would be best to get a new one.
