Sump Pump Replacement

Imagine this: you're cozy in your basement on a rainy day, maybe watching the game or working on a hobby. Suddenly, you hear a faint sloshing sound. You investigate and find water creeping into your basement from all that rain outside. Cue panic mode!

Fortunately, if you’ve got a sump pump installation, the flooding water will be automatically ejected off the premises. As dependable as they are, sump pumps are not perfect. Remember to regularly test your unit. If you need a sump pump repair or sump pump replacement in Sacramento County, then call Acknowledge Plumbing to speak with a live member of our team.

Why Install a Sump Pump?

If you live in a flood-prone area, chances are your local building codes recommend or require a sump pump installation. Sump pumps offer a solution to basement floods and provide an added layer of defense against water damage.

Sure, you can bring out the mops and buckets – but time is of the essence, and water damage can take hold quickly. Water can be sneaky, seeping into the nooks and crannies around your home's foundation. A sump pump acts as a shield, directing water away and preventing potential foundation damage that could lead to costly repairs down the line.

Whether it's a downpour outside or just the usual wet season, you can relax knowing your sump pump has your back. If you’re not sure whether your flood-prone home has a sump pump, you can call Acknowledge Plumbing to consult with a trained plumber.

Reviews

Our kitchen drain was draining directly under the house creating a small lake of soap and mud. Several plumbers were called but all were a week or more out. We reached out to a lesser known company, Acknowledge Plumbing, and within a coupe of hours, we had a plumber on site and the problem resolved. It turns out some rodent(s) chewed through the coupling causing the discharge under the house. We are grateful to Acknowledge for their quick response, professional service, and friendly interaction.We are saving their number for any future plumbing problems that may arise. We were very satisfied with this company and highly recommend them to anyone with plumbing issues.

Felix came out to work on my reverse osmosis system. It turned out I need new system but he was thorough, explained everything in detail, and was reasonably priced. I've already teed him up for my next plumbing project. I highly recommend Felix and the Acknowledge Plumbing team.

Called Acknowledge Plumbing to fix an issue with my water pressure & piping. Steve came out the next day to provide a free estimate. He was very knowledgeable and provided some cost saving options to try before needing to do major work. Greatly appreciate the responsiveness & ability to act and respond in the best interest of the customer from this company. Definitely will give them a call for future plumbing needs.

We had an urgent need for help with our water heater on a holiday weekend (is was leaking and needed to be replaced). We were not optimistic that we would get anyone to answer a call, let alone make availability for a service call. Not only did Acknowledge Plumbing pick up the phone, but Savina was stellar in finding us a tech for the same day, and provided updates on her progress in near real time - this is highly unusual these days. Felix connected with us, discussed options for a new unit, procured it and arrived the same day. He was a pleasure to have so the work and got the whole project turned around that afternoon. They are at the top of our virtual Rolodex.

Inspect Your Sump Pump for Issues

A professionally installed sump pump is meant to last for years and years, and the device is typically reliable – but you must do your chores. Inspect your sump pump regularly because accidental damage and wear and tear can cause serious issues; issues that should be addressed before flooding happens.

Here are some potential problems:

Loud or Unusual Noises: If your sump pump is making loud grinding, rattling, or clanking noises, it could indicate that the pump motor or impeller is experiencing issues.
Frequent Cycling On and Off: A sump pump that cycles on and off frequently, especially during periods of light rainfall or minimal water accumulation, may be struggling to maintain proper water levels in the sump pit.
Visible Rust or Corrosion: Check the exterior of your sump pump for signs of rust, corrosion, or deterioration. Rusty components, particularly on the pump housing or discharge pipe, can indicate water damage or age-related wear that may compromise the pump's effectiveness.
Water Leaks or Pooling: Inspect the area around the sump pump for any signs of water leaks or pooling. Moisture around the pump or in the sump pit when the pump is not actively pumping water out suggests that there may be leaks in the pump housing, discharge pipe connections, or check valve.

If your sump pump installation is giving you cause for concern, then call Acknowledge Plumbing to arrange a sump pump repair. Our plumbers are here to help at any time of the day.
