Whether you are installing a brand new sump pump, replacing a worn out model, or getting your sump pump repaired, Schwering Plumbing has has you covered. A sump pump is a critical element of protection in your home to help prevent flooding. If you are unsure if your pump is working correctly, we can perform a maintenance check. Key components that will be examined during a maintenance check are

• Check Valve
• Discharge Line 
• Float Activator Arm
• Pressure Sensor
• Pumping Mechanism
• Power supply delivery 
• Pit Cover or Lid
• Sump Pit Basin

Several factors affect a sump pump’s lifespan, including how often it runs, how long it runs, and how much water it needs to move. You should consider replacing your sump pump, even if you have not had any issues, every 8-10 years per industry standard. 

Battery Backup Systems

A very common question is, why do I need a backup system, If I have a good sump pump? The answer is, standard sump pumps do not operate without electricity. If your home faces a power outage, say during a heavy rainstorm, your home will be left vulnerable to possible flooding. By installing a battery backup system, you add a valuable layer of protection to your home. When power to the home is lost, a battery backup system can be trusted to take over and perform at the same level the sump pump system would.
