As we prioritize complete client satisfaction, our team offers the following helpful tips on avoiding serious problems with your residential sump pumps.

Clogged Drain Lines

Sump systems exist to collect and remove water that has seeped into a basement or crawl space. If the sump’s drain line becomes clogged with trash or filled with ice, the system won’t be able to perform this intended function until the necessary plumbing repairs are made to reopen the line.

System Failure Due to Power Loss

Major problems tend to occur with a sump system when there’s an extended power outage due to inclement weather or grid failure. Ensuring that your sump pump has a reliable backup power system can prevent floods and property damage due to system failure. A reputable plumber in Columbus, OH from DrainMaster can help you find and install the best battery backup for your pump.

Pump Burnout

Choosing a sump pump that’s too small or too large for the job can lead to premature pump failure. A malfunctioning float can also contribute to pump burnout by causing it to switch on and off automatically. 

That said, proper sump pump sizing and regular maintenance can go a long way toward preventing emergency plumbing situations that often result from a burned-out pump. Before the storm season comes over, test your sump pumps and make sure that it’s in tip-top condition.
