Repairing or Replacing your Sump Pump System in Greater Charlotte, NC
 Like all appliances and utilities in your home, sump pump systems contain mechanical moving parts-- parts that will eventually stop working. If you have a secondary sump pump and a battery backup sump pump, you know that a failing sump pump does not mean a flooded basement.
However, it's important to make sure that all pumps in your system are in good working order, and that you have quality replacement parts installed. If you have a failed pump or a component of your system is not working, give us a call or contact us online today to get your system working the way it should. Sump Pump Systems
Sump pump systems have gone a long way in recent years, and today they’re better than ever. The best way to prevent future flooding is to install the highest quality sump system, including all of the following:
Cast-Iron Casing: We use only patented Zoeller sump pump systems. Our primary and secondary sump pumps are cast-iron to help prevent pump burnout and failure.
Clog-Resistant Design: Our sump pumps are placed in liners surrounded by clean stone. Each pump sits on a stand that keeps it away from debris that may settle on the bottom of the liner. And a special grated attachment on our discharge lines ensures that your system will keep pumping-- even if the line freezes.
Ample Pumping Power: We install sump pumps that are designed to run at approximately 80% of their full capacity. This reduces excess heat and increases the life of your pump.
Effective Sump Pump Switch: Sump pump switches are notorious for clogging, sticking, and becoming jammed up against the sump pump liner. Our sump systems switches use a float switch that will keep working-- for the life of the pump!
Of course, your sump pump is only one part of your waterproofing system. It’s also important to make sure your other components are working well, including your perimeter drain, discharge line, and dehumidifier. Speak to your specialist about what’s best for you. Repairing your Waterproofing System
Often when a sump pump system fails to work, it’s not the sump pump itself, but some other component of the waterproofing system that is the problem. This could include any of the following:
- Clogged discharge lines
- Sump pumps that have clogged or malfunctioned
- A battery backup system is needed
- Upgrading to a full perimeter French drain system is recommended
- A wall system is needed to stop/redirect water flooding through your walls
- Your dehumidification systems needs repair or is recommended
- An additional (or more powerful) sump pump system is suggested
In any of these cases, your waterproofer can assess the situation with you and discuss the options available for an effective service, upgrade, or repair of your system. Cost of Repairing or Servicing a System
While a routine service of your waterproofing system is predictable in cost, it’s difficult to assess the cost to repair a failed waterproofing system over the phone. However, we can schedule a waterproofing service technician to assess the situation firsthand.
Our certified specialist will quickly and professionally identify the problem and explain how the failure occurred. Pricing for all repairs will be given before any work is done.
