Common Questions About Sump Pumps
When it comes to sump pumps, homeowners often have questions to ensure they understand how these systems work, their benefits, and how to maintain them properly. Here are some common questions related to sump pumps:
A sump pump is a device installed in a sump pit in the basement or lowest part of a home. It’s designed to pump excess water out of the pit and away from the building to prevent flooding. When water reaches a certain level in the pit, the sump pump is activated and pumps the water out through a discharge pipe.
Sump pumps are essential in areas prone to heavy rainfall, groundwater infiltration, or where homes are built on flat or low-lying terrain. They help prevent basement flooding by removing accumulated water from the sump pit before it can reach the floor level.
Sump pump failure can be caused by various factors, including power outages, mechanical issues, clogs in the pump or discharge pipe, float switch malfunctions, and insufficient maintenance.
It’s recommended to test your sump pump at least twice a year. To test it, pour water into the sump pit to raise the water level and ensure the pump activates and removes the water as it should.
Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure your sump pump functions properly when you need it. You should check the pump and pit for debris, test the pump, and clean the pit at least once a year. If you have a backup battery, test it as well.
Yes, having a battery backup for your sump pump is highly recommended. Power outages often occur during storms, precisely when your sump pump is needed most. A battery backup ensures your pump continues to operate even when the main power is out, providing added protection against flooding.
The lifespan of a sump pump can vary depending on factors such as usage, quality of the pump, and maintenance. On average, a sump pump can last around 7-10 years, but regular maintenance can extend its life.
While some homeowners may have the skills to replace a sump pump themselves, it’s generally recommended to have a professional plumber handle the installation. Proper installation ensures that the pump works effectively and adheres to local building codes.
Sump pumps are designed to handle groundwater infiltration and minor flooding. However, they may not be suitable for heavy flooding caused by severe storms or other catastrophic events. In such cases, additional flood prevention measures may be necessary.
Yes, there are several warning signs of a failing sump pump, including unusual noises, inconsistent operation, constantly running, and visible signs of corrosion or rust on the pump. If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to have your sump pump inspected and repaired if necessary.

This appointment was for an annual service on my new Furnace. Arrived on time, answered any question i had,and completed the service on the Furnace. Tyler also took the time to look at a problem toilet, gave me his thoughts on problem and then provided me a quot to fix. Maffei has generally always done a good job for me.

Tony, Maffei's Comfort Advisor met us at our cold church. He was so careful in checking things out, photographing our failed heating system. And he has gotten back to us in less than a week! Tony and Maffei concluded that Maffei doesn't do this type of project but Tony had several good referrals for us to services that do! Awesome! Thank you!
