When homeowners need sump pump repair or replacement services in Corona, CA, Sheldon's Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing is the plumbing contractor they trust. Our team encourages you to contact us at the earliest signs of trouble. Small issues with sump pumps can become big problems in no time at all. It could result in a much bigger repair bill or having to replace the unit altogether. You also risk the pump not working when heavy rains come.
"Friendly, on time, great customer service. They installed my system 3 years ago, tune up today, added an air purifier today. I keep them on speed dial if I ever have any questions or need assistance with my system."
Sump pumps in Corona should be on a dedicated circuit with a dedicated outlet that has GCFI protection. The National Electrical Code requires GCFI as of 2020. There are two common power problems: tripping the breaker and tripping the outlet. In either case, you shouldn’t take chances. Schedule a diagnostic to ensure that the system doesn’t trip during a rain event.
Another big concern is frequent clogging. If it happens often, there’s a good chance it’ll occur at the worst times. There are several types of clogs. Clogs can happen because you’re not cleaning out the pit enough. If the float switch is jamming, we may need to replace it. It could also be a drainage issue. Our plumber may need to clear out the line and perhaps cap it with new screens.
When should you replace rather than repair sump pumps? We’ll typically recommend sump pump replacement if the unit is seven years old or older. We’ll often advise replacement for younger units if the repair cost is 50% or more of what replacement would cost.
If you opt for a sump pump replacement, it’s an opportunity to reassess your needs. A higher horsepower pump can move more water and do so faster. If you have a pedestal model, consider an upgrade to a submersible. You can also opt for a more robust backup system and smart features that alert you to problems.
Watch for these other signs you may need a sump pump repair or replacement:
Rust or other corrosion
Long or irregular cycling
No water in the sump pit
Float switch getting stuck
Excessive vibration and loud noises
