Any Repair Job
Many homes are at risk of excess moisture in the lower levels and even flooding. These events can lead to mildew, mold, and substantial water damage. Consider sump pump installation in Dana Point, CA, if your home is at risk.
Bill Metzger Plumbing can install a sump pump that handles a high volume of water during severe water. You can also opt for a backup pump that protects you during a power outage.
Several considerations are involved in sump pump installation. One is the pump style, and there are two core options: pedestal and submersible. Pedestal pumps are easier to maintain and last longer but cannot handle as much water. They’re generally recommended when there’s little to no risk of substantial flooding. Submersible pumps require more maintenance but give you much greater protection if there is a risk of significant flooding.
There are combination systems with both a primary and backup pump included. These can be cost-effective in scenarios where a pedestal pump is suitable. For most other scenarios, you should usually have a dedicated backup. These systems are battery-powered and can cycle on automatically when the power goes out.
A 1/3-horsepower sump pump is a typical choice for average-sized homes. Larger houses and homes with above-average water tables may need a 1/2-hp pump. You may also need the more powerful pump if your property has a high vertical lift or a long horizontal run. There are also 3/4-hp and 1-hp systems available for sump pump installation. We reserve these bigger pumps for homes in low-lying areas susceptible to flooding.
Homeowners should schedule annual maintenance for their sump pumps. One of our Dana Point plumbers will clean the equipment during this appointment and perform a multipoint inspection. It’s an opportunity to correct wear and tear and spot more serious issues. The typical residential sump pump needs replacement every 10 years. If you need a repair, the seven-year mark is the point at which we’ll lean toward replacing rather than fixing the unit.
