What you get from Speedy Tech Services:
Summer is an ideal time for sump pump installation or replacement because it typically offers drier weather conditions. This makes working on your basement or crawl space easier and reduces the risk of immediate water intrusion during the process. It’s also a good time to prepare for the heavy rains that may come in the fall or during Lakeland, FL storm seasons.
Signs that your sump pump needs replacement include: strange noises, failure to activate, frequent cycling on and off, or if it’s more than seven to ten years old. Regular maintenance inspections from our team in the summer can help identify these issues early on, where they may be repaired, effectively preventing a premature replacement.
Yes, a properly installed and functioning sump pump can effectively manage water runoff from heavy summer storms, helping to prevent basement flooding and water damage. Be sure to rely on our experts to ensure your sump pump is properly installed and can function as efficiently as possible.
Most of our sump pump installations or replacements can be completed in a single day, though the exact timeframe may vary based on your home’s specific requirements and any additional waterproofing needs.
To keep your sump pump in good condition, clean the sump pit, check the float switch, test the pump by pouring water into the pit, and inspect any electrical connections. Lastly, schedule professional maintenance with the Speedy Tech Services team if you’re unsure about these steps, or if you discover a problem with your sump pump that requires repair.
A home’s sump pump is an essential element in many homes to keep those that live in the home safe from possible flooding. Sump pumps collect water below the lowest level of the home and release it outside of the home. Since they serve such an important function, it’s important to have your sump pump replaced when the time comes. A few indicators that your sump needs to be replaced are:
Your sump pump should not run continuously. In the event that it is, hopefully, it is just a switch problem that can be easily repaired. If that’s not the issue, your home’s sump may not be able to handle its water and as a result, has to be replaced.
If your sump pump goes long periods of time without being used, it is likely to have a shorter lifespan and be in need of a replacement earlier than potentially expected.
In the event that your sump pump’s motor begins to struggle, it is time to consider a replacement. If the motor for your sump pump isn’t working or the motor gets stuck frequently it can be more cost-effective to replace the unit than continue to repair it.
Any odd or disconcerting sounds coming from your sump pump can signal damaged or worn components. Any banging, grinding, or rattling sounds are cause for concern.
Sometimes old age is enough of a reason to get a replacement sump pump. Over time, wear and tear will make your sump pump less effective. Any sump pump over seven years of age is considered outdated and a replacement should be considered.
Any visible rust is a sign that your sump pump has begun to deteriorate. Rust can cause your sump pump to have issues with water flow to your drainage system.
Anytime your sump pump is vibrating uncontrollably it is likely due to an issue with the impeller. Impellers become damaged when debris is sucked up by them. Damaged impellers are unlikely to be able to be repaired and as a result a replacement unit is usually needed.
