Sump Pump Installation: What to Expect
When installing a new sump pump, our team follows a clear, methodical process so property owners understand each step. We start by assessing basement or crawl space drainage conditions to determine the appropriate pump size, configuration, and placement. The pump is then installed with careful attention to the sump pit, discharge line routing, and any backup components. After installation, the system is tested under real operating conditions, with float switches or sensors adjusted as needed. Finally, we walk you through basic operation and provide practical maintenance tips so you’re familiar with how the pump responds during periods of heavy water flow.
Repairing & Maintaining Your Sump Pump
Even well-installed pumps can experience wear or performance issues over time. TMI offers thorough repair and maintenance services to keep systems working effectively. Common issues include misaligned or stuck float switches, debris buildup in the sump pit or discharge line, and mechanical wear that affects motor performance. For pumps with battery backups, we inspect and service components to maintain functionality during power interruptions. Routine maintenance and timely repairs help extend the life of your system, reduce unexpected failures, and support consistent water management during wet weather or seasonal runoff.
Why Sump Pumps Matter
Sump pumps play a critical role in protecting basements and crawl spaces from water damage. Even small amounts of water can cause mold growth, structural issues, or damage to furniture and stored items. Regular maintenance, repairs, or timely replacement of a failing pump can prevent costly damage and the frustration of dealing with a flooded space. Seasonal rain and fluctuating groundwater levels can put extra stress on sump pumps, making awareness and upkeep essential, especially during heavy spring thaws and seasonal rain.
Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Attention
Recognizing warning signs early can help avoid significant water damage:
- Water in the basement or crawl space, including pooling or damp spots.
- Unusual noises, such as grinding, rattling, or humming, which can indicate mechanical issues or blockages.
- Pumps running constantly, which may suggest drainage issues or a failing float switch.
- Lingering odors or visible mold caused by water accumulation.
- Age of the pump, most sump pumps last 7–10 years, and older units may fail suddenly.
