Sump Pumps

Protect Your Home with Reliable Sump Pumps

Whether caused by heavy rains, melting snow, groundwater, or excess moisture in your basement, water damage can lead to substantial structural damage, costly repairs, and mold growth. A reliable sump pump is an essential safeguard for any home or business prone to flooding. 

At Emergency AC, we specialize in providing high-quality sump pumps tailored to your needs. With over 30 years of experience, our team is equipped to keep your property safe, dry, and secure. 

Choosing the Right Sump Pump: Factors to Consider

Selecting the right sump pump is crucial to ensuring effective water management. The key factors to consider when choosing sump pumps are:

• Type of Sump Pump: There are two main types: submersible and pedestal. Submersible pumps are installed inside the sump pit and are typically quieter and less obtrusive. Pedestal pumps, with their motor located above the pit, are easier to service.

• Pump Capacity: Consider the pump's horsepower and gallons per hour (GPH) rating. The capacity should match the volume of water the pump needs to handle, which depends on the size of your basement and the area's water table.

• Switch Type: The switch activates the pump when water reaches a certain level. Options include tethered, vertical, and electronic switches. Choose one that is reliable and suits your pit size.

• Battery Backup: A battery backup system ensures your pump continues to work during power outages, which are common during severe weather conditions.

• Durability: Choose pumps constructed from durable materials like cast iron or stainless steel, as they can endure heavy use and have a longer lifespan.

Choosing the right sump pump can be overwhelming, but with Emergency AC, you have a partner who understands your needs. We guide you through the selection process, ensuring you find the perfect solution for your home or business.

A common misconception about sump pumps is that they are only necessary for homes with basements, when in fact, any home susceptible to water infiltration can benefit from having one installed. 

Diagnostic Solutions: Identifying and Fixing Sump Pump Problems

Even the most reliable sump pumps can encounter issues over time. Emergency AC offers comprehensive diagnostic and repair services to keep your system in top condition. Common sump pump problems include:

• Power Failures: Sump pumps are electrical devices and can fail if they lose power. We can install battery backups to keep your system operational during outages.

• Clogged Discharge Lines: Debris can clog the discharge line, preventing the pump from expelling water properly. We inspect and clear any obstructions to ensure proper drainage.

• Float Switch Malfunctions: If the float switch sticks or fails, the pump may not activate when needed. We repair or replace faulty float switches to restore reliable operation.

• Pump Burnout: Sump pumps can burn out if they run continuously due to a stuck switch or excessive demand. We assess the situation and recommend solutions, whether it’s repair or upgrading to a more powerful unit.

Trust Emergency AC to keep your sump pump running smoothly, preventing water damage and ensuring peace of mind.

Routine Maintenance: Keeping Your Sump Pump in Top Condition

At Emergency AC, we recognize the importance of maintaining your sump pump, and our expert team is here to help keep it in top condition.

• Inspecting the Discharge Line: Ensure the discharge line is free of obstructions and debris, allowing water to flow out efficiently. A blocked line can cause the pump to work harder, leading to premature wear and tear.

• Testing the Pump: Regularly testing your sump pump by pouring water into the pit activates the float switch and ensures the pump starts automatically. If the pump doesn’t activate, it may need repairs or replacement.

• Cleaning the Sump Pit: Over time, dirt, gravel, and other debris can accumulate in the sump pit, potentially clogging the pump or its components. Regular cleaning helps prevent blockages and maintains the pump’s efficiency.

• Checking the Float Switch: The float switch is crucial for activating the sump pump. Inspecting it for proper operation ensures the pump will start when water levels rise. A stuck or malfunctioning switch can lead to flooding.

• Battery Backup Inspection: If your sump pump includes a battery backup system, regularly check the battery's condition and charge level. This ensures your pump will continue to operate during power outages.

By investing in routine maintenance with Emergency AC, you ensure your sump pump remains a reliable line of defense against water damage.
