GOOD TO KNOW

Indicators Your Sump Pump Needs to be Replaced

A working sump pump is what keeps many Kansas City, KS homes protected from flooding — it collects water from the lowest level of the house and moves it safely outside. Because that job matters so much, it’s worth replacing the unit before it fails. Watch for:

Continuously Runs

Your sump pump should not run continuously. In the event that it is, hopefully it is just a switch problem that can be easily repaired. If that’s not the issue, your home’s sump may not be able to handle its water and as a result has to be replaced.

Infrequent Usage

If your sump pump goes long periods of time without being used, it is likely to have a shorter lifespan and be in need of a replacement earlier than potentially expected.

Motor Issues

In the event that your sump pump’s motor begins to struggle, it is time to consider a replacement. If the motor for your sump pump isn’t working or the motor gets stuck frequently it can be more cost effective to replace the unit than continue to repair it.

Odd Noises

Any odd or disconcerting sounds coming from your sump pump can signal damaged or worn components. Any banging, grinding, or rattling sounds are cause for concern.

Old Age

Sometimes old age is enough of a reason to get a replacement sump pump. Over time, wear and tear will make your sump pump less effective. Any sump pump over seven years of age is considered outdated and a replacement should be considered.

Rust

Any visible rust is a sign that your sump pump has begun to deteriorate. Rust can cause your sump pump to have issues with water flow to your drainage system.

Vibrates Uncontrollably

Anytime your sump pump is vibrating uncontrollably it is likely due to an issue with the impeller. Impellers become damaged when debris is sucked up by them. Damaged impellers are unlikely to be able to be repaired and as a result a replacement unit is usually needed.

FAQ

Common Questions About Sump Pump Installation

What is the labor cost to install a sump pump?

Labor costs shift from project to project depending on installation time, associated plumbing work, and any permits required. Contact KB Complete for a quote.

Can I install my own sump pump?

If you’re a professional plumber, likely yes. Otherwise, it’s best left to KB Complete’s technicians to handle the installation correctly.

How much does it cost to install a water sump pump?

Usually a few hundred dollars, with the final price shaped by where it’s installed and which type of pump you choose. Contact KB Complete for a quote.

Will my sump pump work if the power is out?

Most likely not, since sump pumps typically run on electricity. A battery backup unit can be installed to run a secondary pump if the power fails.

Do I need to clean my sump pump?

Yes, periodically. Sump pumps don’t use filters, but their openings and screens should be cleaned every few months, and the moving parts may need oiling occasionally. KB Complete can fold this into a yearly maintenance visit.
