Sump Pump Maintenance

what is a sump pump?

A sump pump is a submersible pump that is generally installed in the lowest point of your home. It works by pumping groundwater from under your basement floor, before it has the opportunity to rise into your basement or living space.

The pump redirects the water to the nearest storm drain, dry well, retention pond or a low lying area of your yard. When water enters the sump well, the pump is triggered on by a float switch and only activates when water reaches a predetermined level. By removing excess water, sump pumps prevent water from entering your home.

Sump Pump Gurus are experts at sump pump installation, replacement and sump pump repair.

Many new homes are equipped with pumps, or at least a sump pit, but older homes are easily retrofitted with a sump system or French drain to prevent basement flooding and give you the peace of mind that comes with it.

For more info about sump pumps, check out our blog posts.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Most homeowners forget about preventative maintenance of their sump pumps and sewage pumps – until they are standing in ankle-deep water. There is no worse time to discover your sump pump isn’t working than after a heavy rain or quick snow melt.

Being proactive and ensuring your sump pump is in good working order will help prevent basement flooding. Regular service and maintenance are critical to extending the life of your pumps. Maintenance should be completed annually and you should check your pump quarterly if it is over 5 years old.

Handy homeowners can provide their own maintenance, its not brain surgery, just a little messy and requires a few tools. Check out our self service page for tips and tricks. If you prefer to leave the dirty work to someone else, the professionals at Sump Pump Gurus are happy to assist.

Sewage Pump Maintenance

If you are unfortunate enough to require a sewage pump to remove your waste water, there are a couple things you should know. NEVER, EVER, flush objects down the toilet that could cause you problems. Wipes, tampons, dental floss are just a few items that should not be flushed along with excess kitchen grease and food scraps.

Maintaining your sewage pump annually, can double its useful lifetime to better than 10 years. Its a dirty job, but opening up the pit annually and cleaning the walls, pump and float devices insure that there is nothing for the float to get stuck on and will keep the pit from smelling “off”. Replacement of the check valve at this time is also beneficial.

This is again, a service you can perform yourself, but it is a dirty job.

Sump Pump Gurus

provides Sewage Pump Maintenance and can replace the unit if we find it is not operating, preventing a bad situation.

I reached out to Sump Pump Gurus after two weeks of heavy rain. I had two pumps that where over 10 years old, and wanted them replaced ASAP. They responded immediately, replaced both pumps, check valves, and plumbing as needed. They discribed the process and kept me informed. They replaced with high quality pumps and their work was excellent. Their service came with a 5 year warranty on pumps/parts and 1 year on labor. I had this brand of pumps in the past, and they are built to last. I highly recommend them!!!!!

BUYER BEWARE: Sump Pump Gurus is overly expensive, their work is of poor quality, and they take advantage of senior citizens. The following is what my 96 year old mother experienced:*Was charged $800 for a job that should have cost $500 to $600.*All the components that were paid for were not installed.*Their sump pump installation does not meet local building codes as it discharges into the sanitary sewer not the storm drain.*Phone calls and texts to Sump Pump Gurus to have them remedy their installation have been ignored.*Sump Pump Gurus attempted to sell my mother another $2500 of unnecessary, and overpriced products and services.*Their technicians appear to be contractors, not employees, and act unprofessional.I don't recommend Sump Pump Gurus.

They are absolutely awful to work with. First, they messed up installation (and almost ruined our front lawn) and we needed to speak numerous times to get them to come back to our home to fix. Now a year later our sump pump isn’t working properly. First day I call someone on the phone is very polite and says they’ll come that day. No one shows and now they ignore every call and voicemail and text. Do not trust them. Now we have companies telling us they dug the sump pump too deep and their installation is causing us more water problems. They will not honor your warranty and ghost you when things go wrong.

I had them come for a sump pump installation last year, they dug our new pit way to deep which resulted in water constantly being pumped all over my front lawn. 1 year after repairing it we experienced puddles on the basement floor around the pit, after giving our address for repairs they did not come back and have been avoiding calls despite a warrantee on the work they did.

I'm really happy I picked Sump Pump Gurus. My pump just stopped working. I thought it needed a replacement, but Alex came out and simply replaced the parts that were broken. He was on time, great communication and really friendly. He went above and beyond by replacing the seals as well. He has several years of experience, and knew the pump inside and out. Really excellent service, great team and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you.
