Sump Pump Services in Mississauga
Test your sump pump every year is a great way to make sure you don’t end up with a flood in the Spring. Mississauga plumbers from John The Plumber recommend a sump pump service to ensure everything is working properly.
Ways you can Test Your Sump Pump
- Make sure power is getting to your sump pump. You can listen to the pump to make sure it turns off and on and doesn’t make any strange noises.
- You can trigger the pump by adding some water to it. Just enough so that the float or diaphragm activates. You may need a bucket or a hose for this. Make sure the water rises enough to raise the float and the pump turns on. This should be done to any secondary or backup pumps that you may have as well.
- Check outside your home where the water comes out. Make sure the water is flowing out cleaning and isn’t any blockage such as snow, ice or leaves and grass.
Our Mississauga plumbers will also likely recommend installing a battery back up sump pump. The reason our plumbers make this suggestion is to ensure that you don’t end up flooding your basement. A battery back up pump often comes equipped with a high water alarm that will notify you if your back up pump is doing the work. This will notify you that your main pump quit working, and that things are under control until you replace the main pump.
Alternatively you can also install a wireless alarm system as well that will let you know that something is wrong even when you are not home.
Our Mississauga plumbers are experts in flood prevention. For more information on sump pumps and battery back up sump pumps give our plumbing and drain cleaning team a call today.
