Sump Pump Repair

Frequently Asked Questions

Factors that can affect your sump pump’s lifespan and performance include the frequency of use, the type of pump, and the quality of installation. Regular maintenance is crucial. Bulldog Rooter offers dedicated sump pump maintenance services in Spokane Valley, WA, to help you maximize the efficiency and longevity of your sump pump.

When sizing your sump pit for a sump pump, it’s important to know the water capacity. As a general rule of thumb, for sump pits that are 18 inches in diameter, each inch of water equals about 1 gallon.

To test your sump pump, follow these steps:

  1. Trace the two electrical cords of the sump pump. The pump cord plugs into the back of the float cord plug.
  2. Unplug both cables, then plug only the pump cord into the outlet.
  3. If you hear a humming sound when the pump turns on, it indicates the pump is working.

Common signs that your sump pump may need repairs or replacement include unusual noises, continuous running, or failure to activate. If you notice any of these issues, contact Bulldog Rooter immediately. Our team provides prompt and reliable sump pump maintenance services in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho to keep your home safe and dry.

Yes, if the sump pump fails during a significant rain event, the basement can flood, causing extensive water damage and creating a huge mess. The most common cause of sump pump failure is a power outage.

The typical sump pump pit is 30 inches deep and 18 to 24 inches across. The standard sump pit insert available in home improvement centers is 26 gallons with an 18-inch diameter. In many cases, the pit should be at least 24 inches deep and can go up to 36 inches deep. However, some builders may use a common 5-gallon bucket as a makeshift pit.

To ensure your sump pump functions optimally, it’s recommended to have it inspected and maintained annually. Bulldog Rooter offers expert sump pump maintenance services in Spokane Valley, WA, and surrounding areas. Regular maintenance from our experienced team can prevent unexpected failures and extend the life of your sump pump.

While you can perform basic tasks like checking the power source and ensuring the discharge pipe is clear, it’s best to call a professional for comprehensive maintenance. Bulldog Rooter’s expert technicians in Spokane Valley provide thorough sump pump maintenance services, ensuring all components are in top working condition.
