Your sump pump in Albany, OR, keeps your basement from flooding. When the waters start to rise, the pump activates and directs the water outside your house, draining in a designated area. This protects your family, furniture, and appliances from bacteria and water damage.
You might use sump pumps infrequently, but they can break down like any other appliance. If you need sump pump repair or installation services, call Linn Benton Plumbing for service before the next rainfall.
Sump Pump Service in Albany
A flooding basement is the biggest sign that your pump is failing. However, you should regularly test your equipment to check for smaller issues.
Look for these signs that you need sump pump repair services:
Continuous cycling
Rust or damage
Unusual noises
Excessive vibration
Dry pit
Circuit breaker tripping
If your pump rarely activates, the equipment eventually breaks down from lack of use. Inactive pumps may fail to discharge water or experience corrosion from rust and the buildup of bacteria. Consider buying a new pump if you haven’t used your current pump in years.
Normally, rising waters activate the float switch. A continuous cycling pump may have a switch issue, making the equipment run when your basement is dry. Your pump might also be too small for your house, which forces it into overdrive.
Strange noises suggest that your pump has broken, loose, or damaged components. When the pump vibrates excessively, debris might have damaged the impeller. Some components are irreplaceable, so you’ll need to order a replacement pump.
Sump pumps that trip your circuit breaker may have a broken switch or wiring issues. Power outages can affect your pump, so check the equipment when the lights come back on.
Your pump accumulates sediments and other debris as it collects water. Over time, debris buildup could break or damage your equipment. Make sure you clean your pump periodically or hire Linn Benton Plumbing for regular maintenance.
