What types of sump pumps are commonly installed?
When installing sump pump systems, we are involved with primary electric pumps and back-up units. The main pump handles the routine removal of everyday water, and the battery backup provides protection when the lights go out or during heavy storms where additional capacity is needed.
Sump pump housings are made from materials that will see water and possibly even corrosion all day long for years to come. Installing these items, we’ve seen a large number made of cast iron and durable thermoplastics.
During cold parts of the year, the discharge line sometimes freezes if the water flow through it ceases or if the pipe is inadequately protected. Should the water remain in the line and the temperature fall, it may freeze and choke the pipe, thus preventing the discharge of water from the sump.
Once everything is installed, we fill the pit with water and simulate the action of the pump. Here we verify that the float switch turns ON the pump and that we have water being discharged. The test is critical to make sure that everything will function properly when required.
Upon inspecting the contents of a failed sump pump, we often find that the motor was not adequately protected from running hot. Excess run time, too much water, or debris caught on the impeller will all place undue stress on the motor. Paying attention to such things helps protect the system from earlier failure.
Yes, many sump pump systems have warning alarms that alert homeowners to rising water levels. When we install these features, they serve as an early warning if the pump is not keeping up or if a problem develops. This added notification makes an unexpected flooding problem much rarer.
