WHAT IS A SUMP PUMP?

Sump pumps are submersible pumps that are designed to redirect water away from the home. The sump pump is installed at the lowest point in the home, which allows it to pump channeled water away. A perimeter drain system is installed at the base of the home’s foundation, which the sump pump uses. The pipes in the perimeter drain system are perforated, which allows water to flow in.

The sump pump then redirects water to a storm drain, retention pond or a dry well. Sump pumps are triggered by a float switch that activates when flooding water reaches a predetermined level. By redirecting water, your sump pump is a vital appliance that can prevent your home from flooding. Most new homes are outfitted with sump pumps. Older homes may be retrofitted with sump pumps.

SUMP PUMP MAINTENANCE

Although sump pumps are fairly low-maintenance devices, they still need to be tested and inspected regularly. Sump pump maintenance should occur at least one year. Failing to routinely test whether your sump pump is functioning properly could put you at risk for water damage if your home is hit by unexpected heavy precipitation.

Roto-Rooter plumbers are experts at routine sump pump maintenance and can help you troubleshoot any issues that arise during routine testing.
