We’ll Fix or Install Your Sump Pump

Charlotte’s flood risk for homes is considered moderate, with the likelihood of properties prone to flooding increasing by 10% over the next 30 years. Protect your basement or crawlspace from water damage and ensuing mold growth before you have an issue when you invest in sump pump installation in Charlotte, NC performed by Dilling Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical. If you already have a sump pump but it’s malfunctioning, we can also provide sump pump repair services.

How a Sump Pump Works

A sump pump accumulates water inside a basin or a pit from leaks throughout the circumference of the crawlspace or basement. When the water gets high enough to trigger the float switch or pressure sensor, your sump pump will turn on and pump the water outside of your home using a hose to a location that does not risk re-flooding your home.

Do You Need Sump Pump Repair?

You may be wondering when to call a professional for sump pump repair in Charlotte, NC. This is different from routine sump pump maintenance that checks in on the health of your sump pump when there is no apparent problem. That should be one at least once a year.

There are some easy-to-spot signs that can tell you it’s time to get sump pump repair. We’ve put together a list of some of the most common indicators.

Your Basement or Crawlspace Is Wet

If you notice dampness or a whole leak happening in your lower level, that means your sump pump is not working properly to remove the water.

Your Sump Pump Is Making Weird Noises

You may be dealing with a mechanical malfunction if you notice thumping or grinding sounds coming from your sump pump.

Your Lower Level Smells Musty

Noticing a bad smell that indicates dampness could mean that your sump pump is not getting rid of enough water and you’re developing a mold or mildew problem.

You Notice Rust on Your Sump Pump

This is a very serious symptom that could be due to corrosion. If not repaired quickly, your sump pump could fail entirely.

Your Sump Pump Is Running Unusually

If it’s always turning off and on or if it’s running without stopping, you may be dealing with a clog or a broken float switch.

Sump Pump Installation & Replacement Process

Either when a sump pump repair is insufficient and you need a sump pump replacement or you’re getting a sump pump for the first time, our process is similar. Our team of experts will follow these steps during the sump pump installation process:

  1. Assessment: Depending on whether you already have a sump pump or not, we’ll check out the area where your sump pump is or will be and, if you have a sump pump, we’ll inspect its condition.
  2. Recommendations: Your trusted Dilling plumber will provide you with a suggestion for a model of sump pump that best fits your needs
  3. Removal (If Applicable): This is when we’ll remove your old sump pump if you have one.
  4. Installation & Testing: We use the best equipment and install your sump pump. We’ll test it to make sure it works.

Sump Pump Battery Backup

A sump pump battery backup is helpful when your home experiences a power outage. If your power goes out, your sump pump will still function with the help of a smaller pump. This can help reduce the water that builds up in your home for several hours while you’re undergoing a flood and an outage at the same time.
