If your San Diego area home or business is on a hillside or below street level, sump pumps are essential. Here’s why: Sump pumps can remove wastewater up to street level. When there’s an accumulation of unwanted water on the lowest part of your home or building, water damage and mold growth can occur. A sump pump can prevent those problems from occurring. But, like any essential plumbing appliance, maintenance ensures it’s working correctly. Bill Howe Plumbing offers reliable sump pump services to ensure it stays in tip-top shape.

The following are some of the benefits of a sump pump:
Prevents flooding: Sump pumps collect excess water from crawl spaces and basements and veer it away from your home or building.
Can prevent mold and mildew growth: Mold and mildew growth can grow where there’s excess moisture. A sump pump redirects water and minimizes moisture accumulation to prevent mold and mildew growth.
Prevents water damage: A sump pump can prevent water damage, which can help protect your home’s structure.
Can improve indoor air quality: Removing excess moisture with the help of a sump pump can reduce indoor humidity levels and improve the air in your home.
Sump pumps are an essential part of your home’s moisture and flood protection. That’s why regular sump pump service is a must. Over time, a sump pump can get clogged, especially if it hasn’t been regularly inspected and cleaned. So, if you aren’t sure when the last time you had your sump pump inspected, contact Bill Howe Plumbing for expert sump pump cleaning service. When you schedule sump pump cleaning service with our team, you can count on our experienced technicians to remove sediments, debris, and other pollutants that can clog your sump pump.
Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Attention
If you have a sump pump, it’s important to recognize the warning signs of common problems. If you notice any of the following signs, contact Bill Howe Plumbing for swift and reliable sump pump service:
Clogging
One of the most common reasons for sump pump repair service is clogging, especially on pumps without a lid. Sump pumps get dirty, and blockages are common over time. Clogging can cause the pump to slow down or quit working. We recommend scheduling regular sump pump cleaning service with Bill Howe to keep debris and dirt from building up and clogging the pump.
Strange noises
If you start hearing grinding or rattling sounds, it is likely time for sump pump repair service. These unusual sounds indicate a mechanical issue.
Running continuously
Sump pumps run when they detect water rising in the pit. If there’s no water and the pump is still running, it’s time to call us for sump pump service.
Activation problems
If the sump pump fails to activate, contact us for a professional inspection and sump pump repair service.
Excessive vibration
Excessive vibration while running may indicate a problem with the motor or that the pump is imbalanced. Ignoring this issue can cause leaks or misalignment.
High water level
If you notice that the water level in the sump pit does not decrease while the sump pump is running, it could be clogged. Professional sump pump cleaning service can clear the blockage so that the pump can effectively remove water.
Rapid on/off cycling
Frequent cycling may indicate an issue with the float switch or pump size. If that’s the case, it’s time for sump pump replacement service. Our team of experts can install a suitable pump for your home.
Age
The average lifespan of a sump pump is about ten years. However, certain factors can reduce its lifespan, such as poor installation and how often it’s used. Regular maintenance is an excellent way to maintain a healthy pump. However, time does take its toll, and there will be a time to call Bill Howe for professional sump pump replacement service.
