Servicing Your Sump Pump System Near West Milford, Vernon, Sparta
Like any other mechanical appliance in your home, your sump pump system should have annual service & maintenance to be sure it is working at peak performance in your home.
Annual Maintenance, Warranty Work & System Repairs for a Dry Basement
Your basement waterproofing system protects your home from groundwater seepage. This basement waterproofing system is an important element in your home.
It's a good idea to have a specialist stop by to check on your basement drainage, sump pump, and other components of your system, so that they can find any potential problems before they find you!
We service our existing systems in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including West Milford, Vernon, Sparta and nearby.
Servicing Your Basement Waterproofing System
At Century Masonry and Waterproofing, we recommend annual service and maintenance of your waterproofing system. During your service visit, our technician will perform the following services:
- Maintain Your Crawl Space Liner: If you've repaired and sealed your crawlspace, we will check the CleanSpace® liner and any other components installed in your crawl space.
- Check the Discharge Line: We will check the discharge line to ensure that water is freely moving through the discharge line. We also check for the potential for freezing.
- Test & Clean Your Sump Pump System: Your sump pump consists of many moving parts that can wear down or need replacement. Your service technician will begin by checking your sump pump's float switch and intake for any possible problems. After this, the intake valve and impeller will be cleaned and checked to make sure they are functioning properly.
Once the service technician finds that the pump is working correctly, the sump pump liner will be cleaned of any sediment or silt that may be present. This important step will keep it from building in the future and potentially clogging check valves, etc. - Check For Problems & Suggest Upgrades: Often, our service technician will see signs of newly emerging problems that may not have existed before and they can suggest and/or implement solutions that will address these issues proactively. We're always expanding our product line to help keep your basement or crawl space dry!
- Service Your Dehumidifier: Our SaniDry™ dehumidifiers include two filters that will need to be maintained. The pre-filter can be cleaned, while the air filter will be replaced. The SaniDry™ will also be oiled and parts inside will be inspected.
- Test & Replace Batteries: The battery in your WaterWatch® Sump Pump Alarm should be replaced once a year, and the service technician will take care of this during the visit. Additionally, the battery for your backup sump pump will be tested to make sure it's holding a proper charge.
If you don't have a battery backup sump pump installed in your home, even a properly functioning sump pump system will fail if there's a power outage or blown fuse.
Your service visit is a great time to have a battery backup added. Ask your technician for details!
A Lifetime Pump Warranty?
Because your sump pump runs on mechanical parts, it can eventually break down, and even with the best pumps on the market this is still a possibility.
If a sump pump warranty offers "free replacements", then you need to ask yourself: "When would I ask for my free replacement?"
Unfortunately, the answer to that question is "After your pump has failed and your basement is wet".
A wet basement is far from "free"! The ideal decision is to find the most reliable basement waterproofer in your area -- one who installs a high-quality system and battery backup. The company should provide annual maintenance, helping you to keep the basement dry all the time!
