Sump Pumps

As a home or business owner in Prescott Valley, if you don’t already have a sump pump installed in your basement, it is likely that you at least have heard the term before.

Basement sump pumps are most often thought of when floods occur, since they are a strong tool for getting rid of that water and ensuring that your basement stays safe and dry.

However, sump pumps help all year around.  It is important to maintain them and invest in repairs whenever necessary. If you need assistance with your sump pump, or are looking to install one on your property, give Smart Plumbing & Septic a call today!

There are more reasons than one to install a sump pump. In fact, even if your property has never flooded before and you believe it has no potential to flood, a sump pump could be useful to you.

 • Stop flood damage

 • Stop mold damage

 • Stop fire damage

 • Protect your foundation

Placed at the lowest point in your basement, sump pumps collect accumulated water—whether this is water from a large flood, or just built up over time. A naturally damp basement will see less dampness and therefore be less open to mold and mildew when water is being drained out and away from your property.

Water damage is also dangerous over time since it can affect your property’s foundation! And, though it may surprise you, you can prevent fires by getting rid of water as well. Believe it or not, flooding is one of the primary causes of electrical fires in Prescott Valley.

Protect your home or business. Hire Smart Plumbing & Septic for your sump pump installation and we will help you find the best option for your situation!

Sump pumps can fail for many reasons. And while sometimes replacing a sump pump is the only answer, at Smart Plumbing & Septic we always assess and repair before resorting to a full replacement.

In case of a flooding emergency, your sump pump may get overwhelmed. In this case, it is important to call us immediately—luckily for you, we are open 24/7 to take emergency calls and help you as quickly as possible!

Sump pumps can also have failing drainage systems, and clogged valves due to sediment build up. If you practice proper sump pump maintenance, you will be able to avoid this situation.

Other sump pump problems can come along due to freezing temperatures, or electric failure.

No matter what is going on with your sump pump, always rely on a professional contractor to help you out as the situation could be quite dangerous.
