bluefrog Plumbing + Drain of North East Dallas | Sump Pump Repair, Replacement & Installation Services

Sump pumps are explicitly designed to prevent flooding and structural water damage to any property. The system is often located at the lowest point in the structure (in the basement, most typically), and comes in two basic styles: pedestal and submersible. Submersible pumps are situated underwater in the sump pump basin, which fills up in a flood; pedestal pumps are positioned with the motor out of the water, above the sump basin. Either is essential if a building is at, below or near the water table.

In many areas basement flooding happens regularly due to heavier rainfall and ground saturation (especially in these times of climate change and severe weather events, witness the flash floods of summer 2019 in Dallas-Fort Worth). Sump pumps re-direct water away from a building into a municipal storm drain or a dry well, somewhere it can’t damage the structure or its contents. In dryer times they can also resolve basement dampness where the water table sits above the foundation of a home.

Like any fixture or system in your home, sump pumps benefit from a professional installation. By hiring bluefrog Plumbing + Drain of North East Dallas, you’ll get expert advice on placement, maintenance and operation of your system. This can prevent costly sump pump repairs down the line. Typically, most installations can be completed within one day.

Besides improper installation, the most common issues homeowners or commercial business owners may come across with sump pumps include clogged pumps, basin overfilling, pumps continuously running or a stuck switch. These are common problems because the sump pump works hard. In fact, it’s likely one of the hardest working plumbing systems in today’s households, even though few know the system even exists. As such, sump pumps don’t always receive the attention they require – until something goes wrong that is. Post-installation, bluefrog Plumbing + Drain of North East Dallas can track any issue that might arise and provide a working solution, fast.
If repairs will not suffice, bluefrog can replace the sump pump with a new, state of the art system. Newer systems are typically more energy efficient than older models, and often enjoy an extended lifespan. A broken sump pump may not seem like that big a deal in the normal daily operation of a home or business, but just like insurance, it absolutely needs to be there and working when you need it.

Sump pumps don’t readily fall into the DIY category of jobs for the weekend renovation warrior. Unless you have prior plumbing experience, it’s a job best left to the pros. It can be difficult to find the cause of a sump pump problem, and sometimes the work is dangerous. So let the experts at bluefrog Plumbing + Drain of North East Dallas handle the problem and relax knowing that your property is protected. Call for a free estimate today.
