Level 9 Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing plumbing company in Des Peres, MO encourages area homeowners to schedule regular sump pump maintenance services. Many homeowners in this region rely on sump pumps to keep their basements dry. You want peace of mind that your sump pump will be reliable when the rain comes. Routine maintenance gives you that confidence. It also saves you on equipment costs over the life of the sump pump.
"Everyone is very knowledgeable and kind and professional. They’ve always been able to either fix but we have happening or be honest that it’s not worth fixing if we shouldn’t waste the money on it. We appreciate them very much!"
We recommend scheduling sump pump maintenance services in Des Peres annually. You should schedule the service even if you haven’t needed your pump much. The last thing you want to do is take a break-fix approach. If that pump fails in the middle of a serious rain event, you can experience considerable water damage.
Manufacturers recommend yearly maintenance for their sump pumps as well. In fact, most sump pump warranties include regular professional service as a stipulation. The invoice we’ll provide you is the proof you’d need. Without it, the manufacturer could deny your claim.
The first thing we do when servicing a sump pump is clean it thoroughly. This process eliminates all the built-up grime that will cause components to wear down faster. That grime also causes inefficient pumping. We’ll clean both the primary and backup pump if applicable. Cleaning the equipment also makes it easier to perform a multipoint inspection.
Our plumber can replace worn components as needed. This can include worn gaskets or a failing float. If there is a major component failure, we may recommend a repair or even replacement. Our plumber will also clean out the pit and clear out the drainage line.
We offer an extensive list of quality plumbing services to meet all your home’s needs:
Once we’ve rebuilt the pumps, we’ll perform testing of both the primary and backup pumps. We’ll check the electrical system as it relates to the sump pump as well. This includes the circuit breaker and, if applicable, the GCFI outlet. If everything checks out, you’ll have that peace of mind that your system is going to work when you need it to.
Watch for these signs your sump pump needs maintenance:
Repeated clogging
Rust or other corrosion
Tripped circuit breakers
Frequent or long cycling
Excessive vibration or noises
