SUMP PUMPS

Frequently Asked Questions

Done expertly handles both pedestal and submersible sump pumps, ensuring your home stays dry and protected. Our skilled technicians provide top-notch repair, maintenance, and installation services, so you can trust Done to keep your sump pump in peak condition.

Did you know that there are several different kinds of sump pumps available in the area?

Some of the most common types of sump pumps our plumbers work on around town:

  • Basement sump pumps
  • Battery operated sump pumps
  • Sewage ejector pumps

Each type of sump pump has a specific purpose. What are those purposes, you ask? Well, let’s explore each type of pump in detail below:

Basement Sump Pump

A basement sump pump is, well, a sump pump located in your basement. They remove excess water from the lowest level of your property (typically the basement, hence their name) and are great at preventing flood damage. Usually, you can’t directly control your basement sump pump. Instead, they’re controlled by what’s called a float switch. Float switches activate when faced with a predetermined amount of liquid (which makes them float switches). In other words, your sump pump only turns on when there is a certain level of water around it.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of float switches, troubleshooting problems with basement sump pumps is often tricky. Typically, you have to either introduce a large amount of water to the pump or wait for a flood to determine your  basement sump pump functions as intended. Since it’s so challenging to predict basement pump failure, our plumbers recommend you both get your pump inspected annually as well as install a battery-operated sump to act as a backup in the event your primary pump fails.

Battery Operated Sump Pump

As mentioned above, our plumbers recommend you install a battery-operated sump pump to act as a backup pump should your main ever fail during a flood. Also, as you’ve probably already figured out, the primary difference between a battery-operated sump and a conventional pump is that the battery backup pump gets power from, well, a battery.

Furthermore, since most sump pumps get power directly from your home’s primary power source, they don’t work during a power outage. Unfortunately, floods often bring power problems with them. So, even if you have a brand new pump that’s never failed an inspection, we still recommend you install a battery-operated sump pump in Aurora. After all, it never hurts to be prepared.

Sewage Ejector Pump

You only need a sewage ejector pump if you need to move sewage from somewhere below the main sewer line on your property. For example, if you have a basement toilet, you likely need an Aurora sewage ejector pump to move the waste from the toilet to the main sewer line on your property.

If your sump pump stops working, check to see if the unit is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Also, inspect the float switch to ensure it’s not stuck or obstructed. If these quick fixes don’t solve the problem, it’s essential to call Done for professional repair services. We can diagnose and fix issues ranging from motor failures to clogged discharge lines, ensuring your sump pump is ready to protect your home from water damage efficiently.

Sump pump maintenance is essential for ensuring the system operates efficiently when you need it most. Maintenance tasks include cleaning the sump pit, checking the pump and float switch for proper operation, testing the pump by pouring water into the pit, inspecting the discharge line to ensure it’s free of blockages, and replacing the backup battery if your unit has one. Done offers comprehensive maintenance services to keep your sump pump in top condition, helping to prevent failures during critical times such as heavy rains or melting snow.

Installing a sump pump offers several key benefits, including protecting your home’s foundation and basement from water damage, preventing the growth of mold and mildew by keeping your basement dry, and potentially lowering your insurance rates by reducing the risk of flood damage. Moreover, a sump pump can increase your property’s value by ensuring the structural integrity of your home and making it more appealing to prospective buyers who want a flood-resistant property.

  • Avoid Flood Damage – Along with preventing a gradual build-up of water in the basement, a working sump pump averts the disaster of large-scale flooding and consequent damage.
  • Combats Mold and Mildew – Continual dampness encourages mold and mildew growth, which is problematic for building materials and health.
  • Reduce Fire Risk – Flooding is a cause of electrical fires due to short-circuiting of appliances in the basement.
  • Property Value – Demonstrating structural integrity, a sump pump adds value to the home.

You might need a sump pump if your basement is prone to flooding, you live in a flat or low-lying area that collects water easily, or if your region experiences heavy rain or snow. The presence of water or dampness in your basement regularly is a clear indicator that a sump pump could benefit your home. Sump pumps are designed to automatically pump out excess water, protecting your home from water damage, mold, and mildew growth.

Stay High and Dry with Your Go-To Team for Sump Pump Installation and Repair

When it comes to safeguarding your home from water damage, a reliable sump pump is essential. At Done® Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, we specialize in sump pump installation, repair, and maintenance, ensuring your home remains dry and protected. Serving Aurora and Denver since 1999, our team brings unparalleled expertise and dedication to every project. Here’s everything you need to know about sump pumps and why Done is the best choice for your sump pump needs.

What Are Sump Pumps?

A sump pump is a device installed to remove accumulated water from a sump basin, typically found in the basement or lowest part of a home. Its primary purpose is to keep the area under the building dry and prevent flooding. When water enters the sump basin, the pump activates, directing the water away from the home to a designated drainage area. This process is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of your home and preventing costly water damage.

Where Do Sump Pumps Go in Homes Typically?

Sump pumps are most commonly installed in basements, as this is usually the lowest point in a home where water is likely to accumulate. The pump is placed in a specially constructed sump pit where water can naturally flow and collect. In homes without basements, such as those with crawl spaces, sump pumps can be installed to manage moisture and prevent mold growth. Proper placement and installation are vital for the sump pump to function effectively, which is why professional installation by experienced technicians is recommended.

Benefits of Having a Sump Pump in Denver

Denver’s unique climate, with its occasional heavy rains and significant snowmelt, makes sump pumps particularly beneficial for homeowners. Here are some key advantages:
  • Flood Prevention: A sump pump is your first line of defense against basement flooding. By actively removing water from your home’s lowest areas, it helps prevent water damage to your property.
  • Foundation Protection: Excess water around your home’s foundation can lead to structural issues. A sump pump helps divert water away, preserving the integrity of your foundation.
  • Mold and Mildew Prevention: Moist environments are breeding grounds for mold and mildew. By keeping your basement or crawl space dry, a sump pump helps maintain a healthier living environment.
  • Increased Property Value: Homes equipped with a sump pump are often viewed as better maintained and secure, potentially increasing their market value and appeal to prospective buyers.
