Protect Your Blaine Home With a Reliable Sump Pump
Many Minnesota homes need sump pump systems because of the regional climate and geography. There’s often significant snow and ice that melts when spring comes. The local water tables are already very high, and so the ground quickly becomes saturated. After that, the heavy rains come, and many homes in the area have basements that can easily flood. A well-sized, well-configured sump pump installation in Blaine will handle the water volume to keep your home dry.
A comprehensive sump pump system can provide many potential benefits:
- Peace of mind
- Improved property value
- Home insurance discounts
- Reduced mold and mildew risk
- Active protection against basement flooding
- Backup protection during power outages
Sump Pump Installation & Replacement in Blaine, MN
Our expert plumbers handle all aspects of sump pump installation in Blaine homes. If you don’t have a pump system, we can design and install one for you. If you have older equipment, we can upgrade it.
There are two main types of sump pumps we install: pedestal and submersible. Pedestal pumps operate above the pit while submersible pumps operate in it. The pedestal configuration is easier to maintain and often results in lower total costs. That said, submersible pumps can handle a much higher volume of water. The approach that is best for your home will depend on many factors, which we’ll help you consider.
Another reason professional installation is so important is accurate sizing. We can install 1/3 hp (horsepower) pumps or more powerful systems. The average property in the region needs a 1/2-hp pump. The size you need depends on the water table around your property, the layout of your property, the depth of your basement, and so forth.
Our team also installs backup pumps and recommends them to all customers. It’s important to have a backup pump even if you have a backup generator system. A generator can take several minutes before it provides power to your primary pump. A battery-powered backup pump will begin operating as soon as the power goes out to keep your basement dry.
Fast & Reliable Sump Pump Repair Services
Our plumbers can meet all your sump pump and other plumbing repair needs as well. If a sump pump fails, time is of the essence. That’s why we offer same-day appointments and prioritize customers with sump pump failures. We also have plumbers on call for emergencies. Even if it’s the middle of the night, we’ll visit your home as quickly as possible.
It’s important to call us as soon as you notice potential issues with your sump pump. Small issues can become big problems fast. Monitor how your sump pump cycles. It should run constantly, but the pump shouldn’t turn off and on frequently either. You also shouldn’t experience excessive vibration or unusual noises. Often, the homeowner can fix minor issues with the float switch, impeller, drain pipe, and so on. Still, if the difficulties continue to arise, they can be a precursor to a much more serious problem.
Prevent Basement Flooding with Regular Maintenance
Avoid the mistake of failing to schedule sump pump service until there’s a problem. We recommend scheduling annual preventative maintenance for your pumps. Typically, the best time to schedule is the end of winter, before the snow and ice melt.
During a maintenance appointment, we’ll perform a multi-point inspection of both your primary and backup pumps. We’ll thoroughly clean your equipment, including cleaning the pit and any drain lines. Our plumber will correct any normal wear and tear. We can recommend proactive repairs as needed, such as replacing a worn float switch. It’s less expensive and more convenient to make those repairs now than to wait for the part to fail during a storm.
After finishing the maintenance, we’ll discuss the health of your sump pump system. This will give you an idea of how the equipment is aging and when you may need to replace it. Our sump pump tune-ups will lower your total costs over the life of the equipment. They’ll also make it much less likely that you experience a pump failure and subsequent significant water damage.
