Iron bacteria live in groundwater and can gather on your sump pump, discoloring the surface and eventually clogging the system. While iron bacteria are harmless to humans, it could block your pump when you need it most. Bill Metzger Plumbing can clean and test your pump to ensure it’s working properly again.
As your sump pump removes water, sediment gradually accumulates in the system. Eventually, this could lead to a total breakdown. Bill Metzger Plumbing installs sump pump filters that trap debris and sediment before they cause a blockage. Periodically, you’ll clean or replace the filter to remove buildup.
The float switch tells your sump pump to start draining water. Sometimes, the float switch fails due to corrosion, faulty wiring, or debris buildup. Improper installation also makes it harder for the sump pump to activate. If necessary, Bill Metzger Plumbing will clean the system or fix the installation issue.
Sump pumps last about ten years. After that, it’s time to consider sump pump replacement. Sump pumps eventually break down due to rust, battery corrosion, or prolonged inactivity. An old sump pump could unexpectedly jam or stop working while it’s pumping water out of your basement.
Likewise, if your sump pump is too small for your house, it might run continuously and eventually give out. Oversized sump pumps also cause issues because they tend to burn up energy and break down unexpectedly. When you’re concerned about your pump, hire Bill Metzger Plumbing to check the size and status and repair or replace it as necessary.
