For homeowners living in low-lying areas or flood-prone areas, the lowest level of their home is especially vulnerable to water damage and excess moisture. For these homeowners, a sump pump can be a lifesaver. If your sump pump is not working, then arrange sump pump repair before disaster strikes. Rooter Man Plumbing is proud to offer sump pump repair as well as sump pump replacement in Reno. We also offer initial sump pump installation services. Call Rooter Man Plumbing to consult with a member of our skilled plumbers today.
A sump pump is a device designed to protect the lowest level of your home, like the basement, from water damage caused by flooding, excess moisture, or groundwater intrusion. These pumps are typically installed in a sump pit dug into the lowest part of your basement or crawl space.
There are primarily two types of sump pumps: pedestal and submersible. Pedestal pumps have the motor positioned above the sump pit. They are inexpensive and easy to maintain but their exposed motor makes them slightly noisier than submersible pumps. As the name suggests, submersible pumps are placed entirely within the sump pit. They are ideal for deeper sump pits and are capable of handling larger volumes of water.
Sump pumps operate by detecting water levels in the sump pit. Once the water reaches a certain level, a float switch triggers the pump to activate. The pump then sucks water from the pit and ejects it away from your home, preventing flooding and potential damage. Sump pumps are a reliable defense against water infiltration, ensuring your basement remains dry and safe.
As we’ve mentioned, pump pumps are your first line of defense against basement flooding, but that’s not the only benefit. By keeping moisture levels in check, sump pumps help maintain better indoor air quality, reducing the risk of respiratory problems caused by mold and dampness.
This defense will be appreciated by potential homebuyers as well, indicating that you prioritize the structural integrity of your property. Sump pumps provide homeowners with peace of mind, knowing that their investment is protected against water-related disasters.
A sump pump is not just a pump. It’s a system. From the grading of the area around the sump pit to the size of the sump pump, every aspect is sensitive and important. While it might be tempting to install a sump pump yourself to save money, it's essential to emphasize the importance of professional installation.
Our reliable plumbers in Reno will determine the appropriate pump type and size for your specific needs, ensure proper positioning, and can even implement a backup power source to defend against electrical outages.
We also offer sump pump replacement services. Give us a call if your sump pump is not doing its job, or if it is making unusually loud noises. Our live representatives are on standby to arrange urgent assistance if you need.
Whether your service is as simple as routine preventative maintenance or is as urgent and complicated as emergency plumbing repairs, Rooter-Man is here to solve your problem.
