Sump pump repair
in Little Rock, AR

Your pump runs constantly but the pit never empties. This usually means the discharge line is blocked or the pump isn't actually moving water. It's running but not working.

The pump won't turn on at all. You pour water in the pit and nothing happens. Could be the float switch, could be electrical, could be a dead motor.

You hear grinding, rattling, or loud noises from the pump. Strange sounds often mean something inside the pump is broken or debris is stuck in the impeller.

The pump cycles on and off rapidly. This can happen when the float switch is stuck or positioned wrong, or when the check valve on your discharge pipe is broken.

Water isn't being discharged outside. The pump runs and sounds normal, but no water comes out the discharge pipe. The pipe might be frozen, blocked, or disconnected.

Your basement flooded even though you have a sump pump. The pump either didn't turn on when it should have, or it couldn't keep up with the amount of water coming in.

The pump is 7 to 10 years old and acting unreliable. Even good pumps wear out. If yours is in that age range and having any issues, repair or replacement should happen before it fails completely.

You see rust or corrosion on the pump. Pumps that sit in water constantly can corrode. Visible rust often means internal damage too.

Fixing your pump before it fails completely can help prevent basement flooding. A pump that's showing warning signs is likely to quit eventually. Repairing it now means it'll be working when the next storm hits.

Timely repair can help prevent water damage to your basement. Water can ruin flooring, damage drywall, destroy belongings, and create mold. The health risks from mold exposure include respiratory symptoms and allergic reactions. Keeping your pump working can help prevent all of that expensive damage.

You avoid emergency service calls. Sump pumps always seem to fail during the worst storms when you need them most. Fixing problems before that happens saves you from emergency situations.

Repair extends the life of your pump. Catching small problems early can prevent them from damaging other components. A smaller repair now can prevent a full replacement later.

Your basement stays dry and usable. If you've finished your basement or use it for storage, a working sump pump protects that space and everything in it.

You can help maintain your home's value. Water damage and flooding history can hurt home values. A properly functioning sump pump keeps your basement dry and your property value intact.

Peace of mind during heavy rain. When storms come, you know your pump works. You're not worrying about flooding or rushing home to check your basement.

When you call about sump pump problems, it's usually because it's not running during rain or it's running constantly. Both are problems. We come out and diagnose what's wrong.

We check the float switch first. This tells the pump when to turn on and off. If it's stuck or broken, we replace it. We check the pump motor. We test it to see if it runs. We check the discharge pipe for clogs.

We clean out the sump pit if it's full of debris. Sediment and dirt can interfere with the float. We test the check valve on the discharge pipe, as this prevents water from flowing back into the pit.

We make repairs or replace failed components. We test the whole system by filling the pit with water and watching it pump out. We make sure it shuts off properly when the pit is empty. Your basement should stay dry when it rains.
