West Frankfort Sump Pump Installation
Standing water attracts pests, encourages fungal growth, damages your home, and causes electrical problems. This issue occurs naturally due to our area’s weather. As rainwater sinks into the ground, it can enter your home. We install sump pumps to redirect this water. These pumps go into specialized sump pits in your basement. When the pump detects excessive water, it activates and moves the water into a safe drainage system. Although small, sump pumps possess enough power to protect your entire home.
There are two types of sump pumps: submersible and pedestal. Both help prevent basement flooding, but differ in design and function. Submersible pumps sit inside the sump pit, making them quieter. However, they cost more and are harder to access for repairs. Pedestal pumps place their motors above the pit, making them easier to maintain and more affordable. However, they are noisier and less effective. One of our plumbers can help you choose between a submersible or pedestal unit and schedule sump pump installation.
If you notice any of these problems, you should immediately call our sump pump repair team:
- Rattling or grinding noises
- Visible rust or corrosion
- Constant operation
- Failure to activate
If your home has a basement or another underground space, you should have a sump pump. Snow and heavy rain are inevitable in the West Frankfort area, so your basement must resist water. A small amount of moisture can quickly cause damage. Installing and maintaining a sump pump is more affordable and convenient than fixing that damage. Sump pumps also provide peace of mind and help you avoid stressful emergency repairs. These essential tools enable homeowners to protect their property.
Sump pumps are tough and dependable, but they occasionally malfunction. For example, dirt and debris can clog them, and their internal mechanisms can jam or break. We always urge our neighbors to schedule prompt repairs, as heavy rains can overwhelm faulty systems. Some issues can even worsen over time, potentially leading to new problems. By promptly repairing your sump pump, you minimize those risks and ensure that it can effectively prevent water damage.
We start our sump pump repair process with a comprehensive examination of your system. Our plumbers thoroughly assess every part to identify faults. They clean your pump, remove clogs, and test the electronic components. After finishing the repairs, we clean up after ourselves and dispose of the old parts.
