Common Questions AboutSump Pump Service
Honest answers from our 15+ years of Edmonton plumbing experience
?How do I know if my sump pump is failing?
Most sump pump problems announce themselves early: running constantly or not shutting off, cycling on and off rapidly, strange grinding or rattling noises, visible rust, or a pit that fills without the pump kicking in. If your pump is more than 7-10 years old, it's worth having it checked before spring melt.
?My sump pump stopped working during heavy rain — what should I do?
Call or text us right away — this is exactly the kind of emergency we prioritize. While you wait, unplug the pump and plug it back in (a tripped float switch sometimes resets), move valuables off the basement floor, and keep anything electrical clear of the water. We'll replace the failed pump and get the pit draining again, then talk honestly about backup options so one storm can't do this twice.
?Why do sump pumps fail during heavy rain?
Heavy rain is the worst-case load: the pit fills faster than an old or undersized pump can empty it, the pump runs continuously until it overheats, or a storm knocks the power out entirely. That's why the pumps that fail in a downpour are usually the ones that were already marginal. Regular testing, right-sizing the pump, and a battery backup are what keep a basement dry when it matters.
?Should I have a battery backup sump pump in Edmonton?
It's highly recommended. Spring melt and heavy summer storms often coincide with power outages or overwhelm a single pump — exactly when you need it most. A battery backup keeps your basement protected even when the power is out or the primary pump fails.
?How long does a sump pump last?
Most sump pumps last around 7-10 years depending on how often they run. Homes with high water tables or frequent runoff wear pumps out faster. We can test your current pump and let you know honestly whether it needs replacing or just servicing.
?Can you install a sump pump in a basement that does not have one?
Yes. If your basement is prone to moisture or you are finishing it, we can assess drainage and install a new sump pit, pump, and discharge line sized for your home. We will walk you through the options and give upfront pricing first.
?Do you charge a call-out fee for sump pump service?
No call-out fee. We come out, assess your sump pump or pit, and give you upfront pricing before any work begins.
