What is a Sump Pump
It helps get rid of moisture beneath your foundation. It has a well component where water gathers. The pump aspect involves that water being moved away from your house where it can’t gather and cause flooding. If the pump isn’t working, groundwater that is heavily saturated can seep up through cracks in the foundation. This will lead to flooding in your basement, your crawlspace, or under your flooring.
Signs Your Pump is Damaged
Damaged pumps might not begin to show symptoms until the weather turns rainy. Any kind of weather that causes excess moisture to begin collecting under your foundation is the kind that will tell you that your sump pump isn’t working properly.
- Wet Carpet / Damaged Flooring If you don’t have a crawlspace or a basement, water can begin to collect underneath the floor itself. If the leak isn’t coming from above, then it is probably coming from below. This means water is coming up from underneath your foundation through cracks, and making it in to your home when it should be getting pumped out.
- Flooded Basement / Crawlspace Just like wet or damaged floors can warn homeowners of a sump pump leak, so can flooded areas underneath your house. If your basement is flooding, or your crawlspace is holding water, this could point to a damaged sump pump.
- Noisy Unit Any sound coming from your sump pump can be trouble. The actual pump inside could be going bad, or the bearings might be damaged.
If left untreated for too long, a damaged sump pump can turn into an incredibly damaged home. Basements flood, crawlspaces rot and decay, and flooring can be completely ruined. The structural damage to your home could go from a few hundred dollars that it costs to repair or to replace the unit, and turns into thousands of dollars in property damage. While some people might consider doing it themselves, your plumbing is delicate, and a sump pump is can have an electrical malfunction that can hurt someone who doesn’t know what to look for. As a result, we recommend hiring professionals to come conduct any sump pump inspections, installations, or repairs.
