  • A sump pump system pushes water accumulated in a pit, a type of reservoir sometimes called a basin, into an outdoor drainage area. The sump pit is typically a tank below your home’s surface, usually in the basement but sometimes in a crawl space. The unit's motor uses an impeller to turn, causing centrifugal force to spin the water to the sides of the pipe at low pressure. The force of the impeller pumps the accumulated water into a pipe and out into the specified drainage area. Because the pump must be placed at the lowest part of the home, hiring a licensed plumber to repair, replace, or install it is advisable. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Sacramento provides this service with licensed, highly qualified technicians and the right technology to ensure your system functions properly without fail.
  • Submersible sump pumps are installed below the ground at the lowest part of your home or commercial building. Typically, this is under the basement or crawlspace. These powerful pumps are most often the choice for homeowners who live in areas prone to extreme flooding but can pose a challenge for maintenance due to their underground location. Our professional plumbers are equipped to reach submersible pumps for service installations or replacements. Submersible sump pumps are often recommended to commercial building owners due to their powerful capacity to drain larger spaces.
  • Pedestal Sump Pumps are also placed at the lowest part of the home or building but are located above the ground. These are easier to access and, therefore, easier to maintain, but they do not protect as well against heavy flooding. Pedestal models may also be louder than submersible models because they are installed above ground. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Sacramento technicians can advise homeowners on choosing a model that best suits the needs of their homes. Whatever model you choose for installation or replacement, our technicians can recommend several options for you to consider.

Save Money With a Replacement System

Residential Properties: Investing in installation or replacement can save you thousands of dollars in costly repairs later. The average sump pump lasts approximately ten years. 10% of houses in Sacramento were built after 2010, and if your home is one of them, it’s likely due for replacement. Our expert technicians and state-of-the-art equipment to install or replace your home’s system. The average repair cost for water damage is around $3,000 for Sacramento homeowners. Proactive measures to ensure your sump pump is fully functioning can spare these costly repairs in the event of flooding.

Commercial Properties: If mold or mildew is present, commercial building owners may be subject to OSHA violations due to a missing or malfunctioning system. Water damage erodes the foundation and walls of spaces subject to flooding. Protect your business and employees by ensuring your pump sump system is up-to-date and fully functional. If your commercial system is more than 20 years old, or in some cases even a decade old, it is recommended that you call a Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Sacramento professional to assess your existing system. Sometimes, a sump pump may need replacement after seven years in areas subject to heavy flooding.

Maintaining Your System with Regular Flushes

Sump pumps not regularly flushed may accumulate mold or algae, causing blockages in the pump and drainage systems. If your sump pit is not subjected to regular cleaning, your system may need replacement sooner rather than later. Blockages can damage drainage systems and pump motors and cause wiring to be short out in some units. Signs of your sump pump malfunction include strange noises, which do not have the low hum typical of a working system. If the pump fails to turn on altogether or runs continuously, these are indicators of malfunction. If water accumulates around the system and does not drain properly, your system may need replacement. If there is no water in your pit, but the pump continues to run, this could indicate a clog or improper installation. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Sacramento can dispatch qualified experts to determine whether your sump pump was installed correctly or needs replacement.
