Chicago’s North Shore Sump Pump Installation

The average lifespan of a sump pump is around 10 years. Once your pump begins approaching 10 years of age and requires frequent repairs, it’s probably time to start thinking about a replacement.

Any time your sump pump won’t turn on, you’ve got a major issue on your hands. There are actually a few reasons as to why your pump may be experiencing power issues such as a stuck or broken float switch, a jammed impeller, a loose electrical connection, or a burnt motor. Whatever the case may be, if your pump is 10 years or older and no longer running, it’s time to schedule a replacement.

Contrarily, if you find that your sump pump is constantly running, that isn’t good either! This typically occurs because of a float switch issue, which will require professional help. Our expert team can help you determine whether a repair or replacement is more appropriate.

Any time your pump makes loud banging or rattling noises, you can almost guarantee there is a serious issue at play. These noises are indicative of a problem that will require a professional diagnosis. Depending on the issue at hand, a full replacement may be the best option.

Irregular cycling can occur for a multitude of reasons such as a broken float switch or the float valve being too low. No matter the case, irregular cycling is rarely a good sign and will need to be evaluated by our plumbing professionals as soon as possible!

Debris can naturally flow into your sump pump and create severe clogs. Such clogs can damage your pump’s impeller fan which will affect your system. Additionally, the pump line hose can also become clogged with sediment and debris, causing major issues for your system. In any case, severe clogs can often result in a total pump replacement.

Unfortunately, many homeowners get taken advantage of by inadequate plumbers around the Chicago’s North Shore area, leading to incorrect sump pump installation. If there is no water in the pit but your pump is still running, your system was likely installed incorrectly and will need to be corrected by our experts.
