Sump Pump Services in Michigan

Serving All Of Southeast Michigan Including Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, and Livingston Counties.

Some properties need sump pumps because of their low-lying location or closeness to a body of water. You need a plumber in Michigan, and nearby areas to install or repair your sump pump system. Sump pumps offer many benefits, and they're even indispensable for certain buildings. At Carter’s Plumbing, we take pride in our experience and expertise in ensuring reliable sump pumps for our client’s needs.

Importance of Sump Pumps

These are some of the most important things that you should know about sump pump installation and sump pump repair in Michigan:

The main function of a sump pump is to pump water away from the house so that the basement doesn't flood with water when there's heavy rain, melting snow, or rising waters from a nearby pond, lake, or stream. As water collects in the sump pump tank, the sump pump pushes the water out through a discharge pipe so that the water doesn't rise so high that the basement floods. Sump pump companies will note that there are some buildings that need this system on a weekly or even daily basis, but it's even a great system to have for houses in which it only turns on once a year because it can save the homeowner thousands of dollars in water remediation and remodeling costs on finished basements.

Signs of Sump Pump Trouble

There are times, however, that homeowners might need sump pump maintenance or even a sump pump replacement. Like almost everything in a home, sump pumps can wear out, so homeowners might need service on their sump pumps, occasionally. One of the most common troubles with some sump pumps is that they can get overwhelmed if they aren't designed to pump out the amount of water that fills up the tank. Another common problem that can happen is a power outage. If this happens with an electrical sump pump during the middle of a storm, it will not function as it should.

Our Sump Pump Solutions

One of the ways that you can alleviate the problem of the sump pump being overwhelmed is by installing a sump pump with more power. Sump pumps have a certain number of gallons that they can pump out of the well in a minute. If you have a pump that can expel 35 gallons of water in a minute, but it's not keeping up with the demand, you might need to upgrade to a pump that can push out 60 gallons of water in a minute.

You should also consider having a battery backup on your sump pump. When the electricity goes out, there's nothing that you can do about it. If your sump pump has a backup battery, your basement will stay dry.
