Sump pumps work hard to keep groundwater out of your basement, especially during heavy rain, snowmelt, or high water tables. John The Plumber Kingston repairs and replaces sump pumps affected by wear, electrical issues, or improper installation.
Sump Pump Not Turning On: A pump that won’t start may have a failed float switch, electrical issue, or motor failure. This can quickly lead to basement flooding if not addressed.
Constantly Running Sump Pump: Continuous operation may indicate a stuck float, improper discharge setup, or groundwater issues that need professional attention.
Noisy or Vibrating Pump: Loud grinding or rattling sounds often point to worn bearings, debris in the pit, or a failing motor.
Clogged or Frozen Discharge Line: Blocked discharge lines can force water back into the sump pit. We inspect and correct discharge routing to ensure proper drainage.
Sump Pump Failure During Power Outage: Power loss is a leading cause of basement flooding. We install backup sump pump systems to keep your basement protected when the power goes out.

1. Initial Assessment: We inspect your sump pit, pump, float switch, discharge line, and power supply to identify existing or potential issues.
2. Diagnosis & Testing: Our plumbers test the pump under operating conditions to confirm performance and determine whether repair or replacement is the best option.
3. Repair or Replacement: We repair faulty components when possible or recommend a properly sized replacement pump designed for Kingston groundwater conditions.
4. Backup System Installation: If needed, we install battery or water-powered backup pumps to protect your basement during outages or primary pump failure.

6. Maintenance Advice: We provide guidance on routine maintenance and inspections to help extend the life of your sump pump system.
