Sump Pump Repair Near Atlanta, GA

There are a few measures you can take to determine whether your sump pump is working or not. The first thing to check is that your exterior drain pipe is free of any debris by ensuring that it’s directing water away from your foundation. Next, check the power and see if you can hear the motor running. Lastly, pour a bucket of water into the pit to trigger the pump’s automatic starter which should drain relatively quickly. If the pump won’t start or the pit does not empty, call (678) 470-8324 to have a professional plumber further investigate the problem.

Sump pumps typically fail because they are overworked. If your basement floods for example, a single pump (especially an older one) may become overworked and unable to adequately handle such a high level of water. This is why it is vital to always perform yearly maintenance with our team. Maintenance helps ensure your sump pump remains in pristine condition and is reliable for when you need it most.

The most important thing you can do to make sure your sump pump doesn’t fail is schedule a maintenance visit with our team once a year. Another measure you can take is to schedule a service the moment you notice something is off with your pump. The quicker you repair a sump pump issue, the better.
