Expert Sump Pump Repair and Replacement in Clearwater

You probably don’t think about your sump pump until there’s a downpour. Then you expect it’s running correctly so your Clearwater basement doesn’t take on water.

Sump pumps can stop draining for a couple of numerous reasons.

We’ve witnessed it all. If your pump isn’t running properly, call the Experts at Midway Services to investigate the problem.

We’ll inspect your pump during our visit and offer preventive maintenance advice, so it won’t quit when you need it most.

Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure

Sump pumps can stop operating for a couple of different reasons:

  • Power interruption
  • Irregular maintenance
  • Wrong unit size
  • Incorrect installation
  • Switch issues
  • Icy or clogged discharge lines
  • Age (average pump lasts 10 years)

Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist

There are a few easy things you can do to verify your sump pump is set up for efficiency.

  1. Check that the cord is in good shape.
  2. Plug it into a GFCI outlet in anticipation of power surges.
  3. Verify the pump is straight and not tipping to one side, since this can cause the pump to not activate when needed.
  4. If it’s been awhile since the pump has run, dump a bucket of water into the pit to make sure the pump starts and removes the water efficiently.
  5. During dry conditions, take out the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can get small stones in the grate over time.
  6. Make sure the discharge pipe’s vent hole isn’t plugged.
