Why Have your Sump Pump Checked?

Sump pumps remove excess water in your basement, crawlspaces and around your Fox Valley home’s foundation, then transports that water away from your home. Why should your sump pump be tested at least once a year? Scott of Bee Plumbing in Sandwich wants you to know more about sump pump testing.

Here are a few reasons why you should have your sump pump tested –

1. It might be going bad, and you don’t even know.

2. Your sump pump removes “bad” water and keeps good, clean water flowing.

3. You (and your neighborhood) can’t afford to ignore the potential danger.

Bee Plumbing, located in Sandwich, IL, is your plumbing specialist to check your sump pump at least every fall to make sure it is flowing safely and efficiently. Call Scott as soon as possible to make an appointment to have your sump pump checked this Autumn. The number nearest you is right on the website at bee-plumbinginc.com.

Don’t Let the Sump Pump Freeze.

It is not exactly as popular of a phrase as “don’t let the bedbugs bite”, but you will be glad that you avoided it this winter in the Far Western Suburbs of Chicagoland. Pipes can become covered with snow and ice in the winter around the Fox Valley. This can spell disaster for your basement if the sump pump water cannot exit the line outside.

Here are some tips from Fox Valley plumber Scott Swanson to keep that from happening –

 

1.  Keep water flowing through the pipes.

2.  Create a bit of a slope for your sump pump.

3.  Protect the pipes from freezing air outdoors.

4.  Adjust the distance between the pump and the discharge hose.

Maybe these are DIY jobs, and maybe they aren’t. One thing is certain…if you have sump pump repair issues this winter in Chicagoland’s Fox Valley all you have to do is call on sump pump repair and replacement expert Scott Swanson, the owner of Bee Plumbing.
