What Is A Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a device designed to remove water from your basement when it starts flooding, preventing damage to your home and belongings. If your basement has ever flooded, or even if it just gets damp in some areas, you should have a sump pump installed.

Sump pumps aren’t just for basements, though. Flooding in a house’s crawl space can also cause significant water damage. Even if your home doesn’t have a basement, you should still have a sump pump installed if you have a crawl space underneath your home.

When To Replace Your Sump Pump

Short of a full breakdown, it can be difficult to tell if your sump pump is working correctly. If you know what to look for, however, your sump pump will tell you when it’s at the end of its lifespan.

The best indicator that it’s time to replace your sump pump is its age. If the equipment is over 10 years old, it’s time for a new one. Additionally, the following issues indicate that your sump pump isn’t working as it should anymore:

  • No water in the sump pit
  • Clogged switches and pump
  • Unusual noises
  • Continuous or frequent running
  • The pump completely loses power

Call on the reliable team at Gotelli if you notice these signs or any other abnormal problems with your sump pump. We’ll quickly send a plumber to inspect the system and diagnose the problem for you.

How To Know Your Sump Pump Needs Repair

If you’re not sure your sump pump needs repair, there are a few telltale signs to look out for. For starters, if a sump pump was not installed properly the first time, it might not divert collected water correctly.

It is also not uncommon for sump pumps to experience power failures. Switches on sump pumps also have a tendency to get stuck — or sometimes they will experience pipe blockages. Our expert plumbers can quickly identify the problem and repair the unit with ease.

Another problem facing your sump pump is normal wear and tear over time. If your sump pump is in need of frequent repairs and is at or past its 10-year lifespan, you might need to consider replacing the unit.

Gotelli was able to send a plumber out the day I called. Joey was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional and everything was back in order that same day. Thanks!
Steve Smith and his partner provided excellent service yesterday. They were quick and efficient, honest, friendly and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
Joey was able to get out to us in the morning and inspect the leak we had outside the house. He figured out how to stop the leak while we figure out the next steps for repair. He also gave us some ideas for work arounds in the meantime. He did a quick inspection of the house and pointed out a few things that could be changed, but since no issues at the moment, not pressing. All and all, happy with the result.
I called Gotelli on a Friday afternoon with a plugged sewer system. The office was very understanding and very promptly answered our plea - dispatching Steve to our house. Steve was quick and very professional with clearing our lines, ensuring that both the house service lines and the lateral to the street were cleared. He also offered to check the pressure to our main water line service to ensure that our pressure reducer was working. And he offered suggestions regarding options for upgrading our hot water heater system. Steve's help and calm, friendly demeaner were greatly appreciated in our time of crisis!
Timely and efficient! I highly recommend.
Love the fact that Joey was able to get here on short notice and that he explains everything as he’s going along. He answered all of my questions and is extremely courageous
Him is Rdly Friendly and knowable absolutely I will call him back for future service
I found a puddle of water under my kitchen sink on a Fri morning. Was afraid I would have to wait until Monday, esp since I had a morning -early afternoon commitment. Tom was @ my door by 2pm, knew a trick to have the dishwasher fill, then in a minute empty - yes it was the garbage disposal leaking. At 17 yrs old it had done it's duty. Tom had the exact modeling in his truck, installed it & cleaned up the wet mess under the sink. Lovely. Will be using them again when I need a plumber.
Steve the technician who came to take care of my plumbing problem was very knowledgeable, professional, respectful and kind. I was very relieved and grateful that Steve was able to solve my plumbing problem. I have used Gotelli in the past and Steve was my technician at that time. He did an outstanding job then and again this time around. Thank you and very much appreciated.
Joey was knowledgeable and helpful. Our job was done quickly and we appreciated that he could come earlier than expected.
