4 Signs You Need Sump Pump Repair

1. That musky smell of mold
   Since sump pumps are there to drain standing water, they’re perfect for mold or mildew growth. If you smell or see anything fishy make sure to call in your Athens sump pump repair experts.
2. Loud noises
   Your sump pump is supposed to drain quietly. If something is loose or broken it could be making noise and get worse over time so act swiftly with respect to strange noises coming from your sump pump.
3. Running when it shouldn’t be
   If there’s something wrong with the switch that automatically turns on when there’s water around, it could be running when it doesn’t need to be. This could use more energy than necessary and cause harm to your sump pump in the long run.
4. Failure to adequately drain
   This is one of the more obvious signs you need sump pump repair, but it’s likely the worst and could cause the need for water damage restoration services.

Do You Need A Sump Pump?

If water has been accumulating in your basement, a sump pump might be the best solution. A sump pump removes water from a basement or crawlspace and is designed to help with exterior drainage problems. It lies within a sump pit at the lowest point of a basement, where it removes water and pumps it into the storm drain to discard. Sump pumps are especially beneficial during the rainy season, so regular maintenance and repair are advised.

Summers Plumbing understands that a plumbing emergency in your basement can be problematic, which is why we are available 24/7 to answer our customers’ calls.
