Types of Sump Pumps We Work With

At Big Brothers Home Services, we specialize in a variety of sump pumps, including both submersible pumps and pedestal pumps. 

Submersible pumps are designed to be submerged in the sump pit, offering quiet operation and saving space. These pumps are ideal for homes with significant groundwater and are known for their efficiency and power. On the other hand, pedestal pumps, with the motor mounted above the pit, are easier to maintain and generally have a longer lifespan.

Whether you have a submersible pump or a pedestal pump, each has its own set of common issues. Submersible pumps may face challenges such as clogged impellers or motor problems, while pedestal pumps might encounter issues with their float switch or electrical components. 

Our knowledgeable technicians are well-versed in both types — so no matter which sump pump you have, it will be repaired or installed with the highest level of expertise. We are equipped to diagnose and fix these all problems, ensuring your sump pump operates efficiently. Understanding these differences is crucial for effective pump repair, and our professionals are trained to handle any repair or maintenance needs your sump pump may require, regardless of the type.

Signs It’s Time to Invest in Repair Services for Your Sump Pump

Recognizing the signs that your sump pump needs repair services is crucial to preventing water damage and maintaining the safety of your basement. 

  • The pump is constantly running or shuts off intermittently. This could indicate an issue with the float switch or a clogged discharge line. 
  • Unusual noises, such as grinding or humming, could be a sign of a broken impeller or motor problems. These symptoms should not be ignored, as they can quickly escalate to more significant issues.
  • Water is not being properly expelled from the pit, indicating a potential clog or malfunction in the system. 
  • Electrical issues, such as frequent trips to the circuit breaker when the pump is running, are a clear indicator that professional repair services are needed. 

It’s essential to address these signs promptly to avoid costly repairs and potential water damage to your home. Our team at Big Brothers Home Services is always ready to assist and determine the best course of action for your sump pump repair needs.

Why DIY Sump Pump Repair Doesn’t Cut It

Attempting DIY sump pump repair can often lead to more harm than good. Sump pumps are complex mechanical systems that require specific knowledge and tools to fix properly. Without the proper expertise, trying to repair your sump pump can result in incorrect installation, further damage, and even potential safety hazards, especially when dealing with electrical components. Moreover, DIY repairs often overlook underlying issues that only a professional can identify and address, leading to recurring problems and additional costs in the long run.

The advantages of professional sump pump repair services from Big Brothers Home Services are manifold. Our knowledgeable technicians are equipped with the right tools and expertise to diagnose and fix your sump pump efficiently and effectively. We ensure that every aspect of your sump pump, from the check valve to the float switch, is functioning correctly. Professional repair also comes with the peace of mind that your pump is not just temporarily fixed but is reliably restored for long-term operation. This level of expertise and attention to detail is something DIY repair simply cannot match.

Prevent Future Repairs With These Maintenance Tips

Regular maintenance is key to preventing future repairs and ensuring the longevity of your sump pump. 

  1. Periodically check and clean the sump pit to remove any debris or clogged material that could interfere with the pump’s operation. 
  2. Test the pump regularly by pouring water into the pit and observing if the pump activates and efficiently expels the water. This simple test can reveal any potential issues before they escalate into more significant problems.
  3. Inspect the float switch and check valve to ensure they are functioning correctly. The float switch controls the pump’s operation, and any issues with it can lead to the pump not activating when needed. Similarly, a faulty check valve can cause water to flow back into the pit, rendering the pump less effective. 

Regular maintenance checks by a professional can identify and address these issues early, reducing the likelihood of costly repairs. Remember, consistent maintenance is not only about fixing existing problems but also about preventing new ones, ensuring your sump pump remains in optimal condition.
