After flooding, it can be challenging to determine the source of your sump pump failure. Fortunately, our crew has all the tools we need to identify leaks, plugged drainage pipes, and other damage affecting your installation. Here are a few of the most common sump pump problems:

Age-Related Deterioration

Many sump pumps fail after years of use. Depending on where you live, frequent flooding can overwork your system and cause significant damage. At Castlewood Plumbing, our contractors can install a new sump pump with fewer upkeep demands.

Water Damage, Rust, and Corrosion

Corrosion can eat away at components in a sump pump, making it less effective. Our crew can replace old and damaged pieces of your sump pump with high-grade materials.

Loud Noises Coming From the System

Call our team if your sump pump makes unusual noises like thumping, grinding, or rattling. We will check to see if your motor is working properly. We will also examine and clear your discharge pipe of obstructions that prevent the sump pump from draining water from your basement floor.

Your Sump Pump Keeps Turning Off

Power issues are one of the most common problems that affect sump pumps. Does your pump turn off suddenly when you need it? Does it cost you a fortune in monthly utilities because it runs all day? 

Our routine sump pump maintenance services offer a practical way to ensure that your basement appliance is cost-efficient.

Water Is Not Draining

Coming home to a flooded basement is a situation you don’t want to experience. If your pump does not remove water properly, this disaster could occur at any time of the year. Our plumbers will check your pipes for faulty connections or leaks that create overflow problems.
