Quality Sump Pump Repair and Installation in Harrisburg

Sump pumps are essential in homes with basements prone to flooding and homes with excess moisture around the foundation. They direct excess groundwater and moisture into exterior storm drains, dry wells or detention ponds to prevent interior flooding. If you’ve recently purchased a home with a basement or you’ve had issues with flooding in the past, you may want to consider sump pump installation to keep your space safe and dry.

If you have an existing sump pump that’s not functioning properly, you may notice that the unit cycles more often or makes unusual noises as it runs. Additionally, if your sump pump is over 7 years of age, it may start to fail due to normal wear and tear and require a replacement.

These signs can indicate potential sump pump failure. Be sure to contact us to schedule sump pump installation or sump pump repair to ensure your home stays dry and comfortable!

• Sump pump running constantly: If your sump pump runs constantly, it is underpowered for the amount of water it pumps and the distance it pumps to. Sump pumps operate according to the amount of water they pump. If the water exceeds their size, they will run continuously. Consider getting a larger pump to increase efficiency. Our technicians will help you learn the right sump pump size for your water volume.
• Visible rust around the unit: Rust causes your sump pump to break down. When you see rust around the unit, it’s time to get a new pump. Replacing the pump in time will save you the cost of water damage should it break down completely and cause a flood in your home.
• Sump pump vibrating excessively when in use: Sump pumps should only hum when in use. If your pump makes strange noises or vibrations, it could mean your motor has a failed bearing and is jammed. Most strange sounds show you your pump is worn out. Our team will advise you on whether to repair or replace the pump.
• Sump pump motor failure: If your pipes are clogged, the motor will run at a higher output level, leading to burnout. Motor failure will cause the sump pump to not switch on when you need it.
• Irregular cycling: Your sump pump needs fixing if it cycles on and off even during heavy rains when it should be expelling water. The cause may be a wiring malfunction or an improperly adjusted float.
• Increased energy bills: As sump pumps age, they consume more energy. If your sump pump has significantly increased your energy bills, it may be time to replace it with a newer, more energy-efficient model.
• Water damage on your property: Sump pumps are meant to pump water out of your home. If you find water damage in your home, especially the basement, your basement sump pump is not working correctly, and you should have a plumber look into it.
• Frequent malfunctions: You need sump pump maintenance to ensure your pump is in optimal condition. However, if you keep calling plumbers because your sump pump is malfunctioning, it’s time to replace it.

We install both high- and low-capacity demand sump pumps based on your home’s overall flooding conditions. The sump pumps installed by our skilled team come with battery back-ups. If you have a home security system, we also offer a remote notification program that we can install right into the system to notify you if the water level in your sump pump pit rises above the standard threshold.

Factors to Consider When Buying a Sump Pump

Choosing the right basement sump pump is essential and requires considering several factors, including:

• Type of pump: We have two types of pumps — submersible and pedestal sump pumps. Submersible pumps are installed in the sump pit and operate underwater. They are powerful and quiet but expensive. In contrast, the pedestal pump’s motor is mounted above the sump pit and an impeller is at the bottom. This type is less costly, easier to maintain and less powerful than submersible pumps.
• Pump capacity: Determine the amount of water your pump needs to handle, and choose a pump that can pump the maximum expected flow rate during heavy rains.
• Head pressure: Consider the distance the pump needs to lift water to the discharge pipe, and select a pump with the correct head pressure.
• Manual or automatic: You can choose to activate the pump manually or select an automatic one with a float switch.
