Reliable Sump Pump Installation and Repair
In the South Suburbs, heavy spring rains and rapid snowmelts can be a disaster for your basement. A reliable sump pump is your first line of defense against costly water damage. J.D. HARPS, Inc. provides testing, repair, and installation of heavy-duty sump pumps to keep your home dry and your property protected.
Do Not Ignore a Failing Sump Pump
A sump pump is easy to forget about until the basement is actively flooding. It is crucial to address these warning signs before the next major storm hits:
- Making loud or unusual noises: Grinding or rattling sounds can indicate a jammed impeller or a failing motor.
- Constantly running: If the pump will not turn off even when the pit is empty, the float switch is likely stuck. This will eventually burn out the motor.
- Failing to turn on: If the water level rises but the pump does not activate, you have a power issue or a dead unit.
- Visible rust: Rust on the pump casing means the protective factory coating has failed, and the internal components are at risk of seizing.
