To check if your Bohemia home’s sump pump is working before fall rains hit, ensure the exterior drain pipe is clear of debris and directing water away from your foundation, check that the unit has power, and pour a bucket of water into the pit to test the automatic switch.
Sump pumps often fail during autumn storms in Suffolk & Nassau Counties because heavy rainfall overworks single or older units beyond their capacity, leading to flooded basements.
You can make sure your sump pump doesn’t fail this fall by scheduling an annual maintenance visit or prompt repair service with the team at Ray The Plumber.
Homeowners can test their Bohemia sump pump by pouring a bucket of water into the pit, but complex testing and seasonal prep are best left to the trained professionals at Ray The Plumber before freezing weather arrives.
Common reasons for a sump pump to fail during Long Island fall storms include improper installation, using low-voltage extension cords, incorrect pump sizing, and mishandling.
Most sump pumps have an average life expectancy of seven to ten years. If yours is nearing the latter and starting to give you problems, you will likely need a repair at the least or a total replacement at worst. Call our experts to assess your sump pump system and determine an appropriate solution.
If you notice any visible rusting or corrosion on your sump pump, otherwise known as iron bacteria, call (631) 802-2344 as soon as possible to have your pump inspected. Iron bacteria can actually be toxic to humans, so for the health and safety of your family, schedule a prompt repair.
Your sump pump should operate relatively quietly, so if you hear it making unfamiliar, loud noises, your pump is probably experiencing issues. Grinding and rattling noises typically indicate a jammed impeller, which will require a professional repair to fix.
Oftentimes when there is an issue with your sump pump’s float switch, it will cause the system to run constantly. A constantly running pump is a real concern and should be addressed by our professionals as soon as possible.
