Sump Pumps
Protect your basement from flooding with a reliable sump pump system. We offer installation, maintenance, and battery backup solutions to keep your home dry during the heaviest storms. Sump pumps have an incredibly important job to do: protecting your basement and foundation from catastrophic water damage during heavy rainfall. However, they require professional maintenance to ensure they function perfectly when you need them most. Let BigLion Plumbing evaluate, repair, or upgrade your sump pump system. We specialize in installing high-capacity primary pumps and robust battery backup systems, so even if the power goes out during a severe storm, your home remains completely dry.
WHEN DO YOU NEED SUMP PUMP REPAIR?
Of course, if your existing pump is older than 10 years, it might be time to think about proactively replacing it. You can’t expect it to perform reliably if the motor is worn out. Look out for these signs of sump pump failure:
PUMP NOT RUNNING
If water is filling the pit and the pump doesn't engage, the float switch is likely stuck or the motor has burned out.
CONSTANT CYCLING
If the pump turns on and off every few seconds, the check valve may be broken, allowing water to immediately flow back into the pit.
LOUD RATTLING NOISES
Excessive noise or vibration usually indicates a jammed impeller or a failing motor bearing that is about to seize up completely.
CONSTANTLY RUNNING
A pump that never turns off will quickly overheat and die. This means the pump is underpowered for the volume of water entering the pit.
