    What is  Sump Pumps?

    Sump pumps serve as essential components in safeguarding homes, discreetly positioned in basements or crawl spaces. Their primary function is crucial in averting potential flooding and water damage, particularly in regions susceptible to intense rainfall or snowmelt. Essentially, a sump pump is a mechanical apparatus engineered to eliminate surplus water that collects in a designated sump basin.

    How Do Sump Pumps Work?

    • Water Detection Mechanism: Sump pumps are equipped with sensors that detect water accumulation in the sump basin.
    • Activation and Pumping: Once water reaches a certain level, the pump activates automatically. It swiftly pumps the water out of the basin, diverting it away from your home’s foundation through a designated drainage system.
    • Types of Sump Pumps: There are two main types of pumps: pedestal and submersible. Pedestal pumps have their motor positioned above the sump basin, whereas submersible pumps are installed directly within the basin.
    • Energy Supply: Sump pumps can be electrically powered or equipped with a battery backup system. This guarantees their operational reliability, especially in instances of power outages, offering a vital feature to ensure uninterrupted protection.

    Importance of Sump Pumps in Home Protection

    • Prevention of Basement Flooding: Happy Valley experiences its fair share of rainstorms. Without a reliable sump pump, your basement could become a breeding ground for mold and mildew, leading to structural damage and health concerns. A properly installed sump pump acts as a barrier, preventing water from seeping into vulnerable areas.
    • Preserving Home Foundation: Excessive water around your home’s foundation can compromise its structural integrity. Sump pumps play a vital role in keeping the foundation dry and intact, safeguarding your investment, and ensuring the longevity of your property.
    • Insurance Against Unexpected Events: While Oregon is known for its beautiful landscapes, it’s not immune to unexpected weather events. A sump pump is your insurance against sudden floods or unpredictable heavy rainfall, providing peace of mind and protecting your cherished home.

    Sump Pump Maintenance Tips

    • Routine Check-ups: The foundation of sump pump maintenance lies in regular inspections. Our technicians highly advise scheduling periodic check-ups to guarantee the optimal condition of your sump pump.
    • Testing the Float Switch: The float switch is a crucial component that triggers the pump’s activation. Regularly test the float switch by pouring water into the sump pit. This simple step ensures that your sump pump promptly responds when needed.
    • Cleaning the Sump Pit: A clean sump pit is an efficient sump pit. Over time, debris and sediments can accumulate, affecting the pump’s performance. Our maintenance services include thorough cleaning to keep your sump pump in peak condition.
    • Battery Backup Checks: If your sump pump relies on a battery backup system, it’s imperative to check the battery regularly. Our technicians can assist you in ensuring that the battery is charged and ready for action.
