Preventing Failures

 

Like any mechanical system, sump pumps can wear out over time. Regular check-ups help identify and address potential issues before they become serious problems, preventing failures and costly repairs.

 

Ensuring Peak Performance

 

Our technicians clean and test all components of your sump pump system. This includes checking the float switch, intake valve, and impeller. Keeping these parts in good condition ensures your system operates efficiently.

 

Battery Backup Inspection

 

We test and replace the batteries for both the WaterWatch alarm and backup sump pump. Ensuring these components are in working order guarantees your basement stays dry even during power outages.

 

Dehumidifier Service

 

Our SaniDry dehumidifiers are also inspected. Filters are cleaned or replaced, and the system is oiled and checked for any potential issues. This helps maintain a healthy humidity level in your basement.

 

Discharge Line Check

 

We ensure the discharge line is clear and functioning properly, preventing potential backups and ensuring water is effectively directed away from your home.

 

Crawl Space Liner Maintenance

 

If your crawl space has a CleanSpace liner, we inspect it for any damage or wear, ensuring it continues to provide an effective barrier against moisture.

 

During the inspection, our technicians may identify emerging issues that haven't yet caused problems. Addressing these proactively helps maintain the integrity of your waterproofing system.

Conclusion

 

Regular maintenance of your sump pump system is crucial for keeping your basement dry and preventing unexpected failures. Our comprehensive annual maintenance program covers all aspects of your system, ensuring optimal performance and peace of mind.
