Sump Pump Repair & Installation
Did you know that sump pumps help people stay afloat when the water is high? They pump water out of an area of the house relocating into another area such as storm drain. Keeps the area under a building dry and prevents flooding.
With the lack of rainy seasons here, it is still best to have proper maintenance done rather than replacing it all in the future. Save your money. Sump pumps aren’t made to last forever, and if you suspect that yours need a repair, or are interested in a new installation; our friendly team at Plumbing Fremont is here to help!

Signs You Need a Sump Pump Repair
Sump pumps do their jobs quietly. If yours is making loud, weird noises, you should have it checked right away. If the sound comes from the motor, it’s possible that you have a faulty bearing. Noises can also be caused by a jammed or damaged impeller (the fan on the bottom of the pump that pulls water inside). Impellers suffer damage by sucking up hard debris. If this happens, they can get bent or damaged.
A sump pump that is always running or running at the wrong times is also your cue to get repairs. A functional sump pump shouldn’t be running all the time for no reason. In this case, there might be something wrong with the switch, or it could be worse. Incorrect size of the pump can also bring problems as a small one can’t handle a large drainage area.
Installing a New Sump Pump
Most residential properties now have a sump pump installed, so you don’t have to worry about it if you’re planning to buy a new house. But if you’re living with an old, rusty sump pump, we’re here to guide you through the entire replacement and installation process.
For homeowners, there are two types of sump pumps available: Sumberisble Unit and Pedestal Pump. The former one, as you guessed, can be submerged in water. This is ideal for those who need to use a sump pump regularly, specifically those living in flood-prone areas. The pedestal pump cannot be submerged in water and has a slower flow rate — still a great choice if you only need the unit for preventative measures.
