SUMP PUMP SERVICE
SUMP PUMP REPAIR AND INSTALLATION
AmeriServe Sump Pump Repair, Replacement & Installation
Sump pumps prevent flooding and structural damage to your home, and they are located at the lowest point of the property, usually inside. In Southern states, that means bottom floor or the garage. In most Pennsylvania and New Jersey homes, that typically means the bottom floor or basement.
There are two styles of pumps, submersible and pedestal. Submersible pumps remain underwater in a basin. The basin fills up during a flood. Pedestal pumps have a motor above the water and also sit in a basin. Sump pumps are important for buildings that get water in the basement during rain storms in Pennsylvanian and New Jersey.
Since lots of homes in our area have basements and are prone to flooding, these pumps can prevent flooding during heavy rainstorms. With the advent of climate change and hurricanes and other severe weather events, these units may be more important than ever.

Common Types of Sump Pump
The kind of home you live in and its special requirements regarding basement flooding will help determine what type of sump pump you should get. Two types are used in most homes; one is called a submersible pump, and the other is a pedestal pump. As the names suggest, a submersible pump can operate under the water while a pedestal pump is positioned out of the water. The size of the basin or sump pit in your basement is another factor that helps to determine which type of pump is best. Your AmeriServe Plumbing technician will help you decide during the initial visit.
How Do Sump Pumps Work?
They redirect water away from your home and into the municipal wastewater system. If your home has a basement, these pumps help reduce the amount of moisture that accumulates. Without a properly working pump, your basement or first floor can flood more easily.
If you need a new pump, leave the installation to the professionals at AmeriServe Plumbing + Drain of Easton Pa.. This provides expert placement and set up of your system. Proper installation prevents expensive repairs due to flooding and other issues. Also, it takes less than a day to finish the installation.
Common Issues with Pump Systems
Improper installation can cause a pump to malfunction and business and homeowners may discover an overflowing basin if the pump clogs up. If the pump works continuously, you may need a larger motor or to have a professional plumber fix a poor installation.
This pump system may be the hardest working part of your home’s plumbing system, even if you never realized it was there. Due to the relative anonymity of this vital system, problems with sump pumps often go unnoticed until it’s too late. After you install a new pump, schedule annual inspections to ensure that your pump doesn’t let you down in the future.
Replacement Services
If it makes sense to make repairs on the pump, our plumbers will do so efficiently once they arrive at your home. Sometimes, it makes more sense to replace older models with newer systems designed with energy efficiency in mind. A broken pump means moisture is accumulating inside the home and that your backup for flooding in the event of a heavy rainstorm may not work properly when you really need it.
Installing these units can be complicated and require specific knowledge of plumbing systems. For example, it takes specialized training to find the lowest point of the home and to decide whether to use the submersible or pedestal pump for the best results at your home or business. It makes more sense to call AmeriServe Plumbing and Drain Cleaning, so we can send our top-notch technicians to handle the installation appropriately.
Even if you consider yourself handy around the home, this complex system requires specialized training and experience. We highly recommend that you use professional plumbers who do this work on a daily basis in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Besides, how long would it take you to figure out the system and install it properly? Keep your weekends for projects you really enjoy and let us come and complete the installation within one day.
