How to Tell If Your Sump Pump Needs Repairs
Does Your Home Take on Water?
There’s no disputing that the Seattle area gets its share of rain, but if you live in the Seattle area and your home has poor natural drainage, you’re looking at a situation where your basement floods several times per year. This is where a sump pump proves invaluable, because it will pump the water away from the property so you don’t have to worry about water damage. Sump pumps are also effective for relieving hydrostatic pressure that can build up behind the walls of your home’s foundation.
What Are the Different Types of Pump?
Knowing what the different types of pumps exist can help you choose the right one for your basement, and can help you get the right repairs when it gives you trouble. There are two types that are widely used today: pedestal pumps and submersible pumps.
- Pedestal pumps sits on top of a basin. They are air-cooled, so they require sufficient airflow to keep them from overheating, making them less than ideal for smaller basements.
- Submersible pumps, as the name implies, sit inside the sump pit and function off of a quieter, water-proof motor.
Regardless of the type of pump you have installed in your basement, it’s always a good idea to have a battery backup for it in case you experience a power outage during a severe storm. Having backup power will ensure that the pump is able to effectively do its job when you need it most.
How to Tell If Your Sump Pump Needs Repairs
The pump has to be in good working order to provide the kind of results you need, because rain can come in quickly resulting in a broken pump, you’ll be faced with a basement full of water. If the pump loses power due to a burnt out motor or damaged electrical components, then you need to call for repairs. If the pump has been used heavily and is bogged down by leaves and other debris, call to have it cleaned before it ends up breaking down on you.

Don’t Try It Alone
You may want to fix your sump pump quickly and get it back into action, but if you aren’t experienced in handling repairs, then you’ll probably do more harm than good with your DIY approach. Considering the important job you expect the pump to do on your property, trusting the job to anyone but an experienced professional is not a wise choice.
Your sump pump can be the difference between a clean, dry basement and costly cleanup or dangerous mold growth.

I called Gene Johnson Services because it was an emergency and I am so glad that I found them because our emergency was fixed less than 24 hours later. Andrew was great!

Mark O came out to unclog a downspout at my house. He was prompt, courteous and worked hard to fix the problem. I’m a member of Gene Johnson and will continue to be because of service like this.

Noah was professional and hard working. Multiple toilets had to be replaced along with some other plumbing work. He spent over 12 hours on the job and got it all done in a day. Would absolutely recommend him and Gene Johnson.

My sump pump that was installed by a different company 16 months ago, had the alarm go off that it wasn’t draining. So I called Gene Johnson Plumbing as they were open on the weekends when my alarm went off. Branson from Gene Johnson came out and took a look at my system. The original company hadn’t even bothered to plug my sump pump to an electrical outlet. So he was able to quickly and easily figure out what was wrong with the sump pump, he also identified that the furnace installation company had neglected to install something important on the furnace components. So he was able to fix that as well. Two different companies, he found two different mistakes, and he was able to fix everything so my system works perfectly. Thanks Branson!!
Sylvia Pollack
We had a leak under the kitchen sink this morning that flooded the floor. We were afraid that it was something major. Branson came out, immediately figured out that a clip had worked loose on the spray faucet hose, put things back together and voila!
We are grateful for the prompt, friendly, competent service from Branson and Gene Johnson Plumbing.

Sean is the best. He got my furnace running again. Very professional. Would have him back if needed. =)

Mark Ochoa is amazing!!! We had a super complicated drain clog that he worked tirelessly to address. I absolutely love this company and would not hesitate to have Mark back out to her our house. Thank you so much Mark!
