Is Your Sump Pump Working Correctly?

Sump pumps can be a lifesaver, especially if you’ve dealt with a flooded basement that didn’t have one installed. At RJ Graham Plumbing, we can handle your sump pump installation and maintenance in Mokena, so if you’ve decided that putting one in is a good idea, we can help you choose the proper model, or if you already have one, but it’s not working correctly, we can be there to diagnose and repair the issue.

There are several reasons why your existing sump pump isn’t working. If it hasn’t been run in some time, there could be components that have worn or broken down. It’s a good idea to run your sump pump every few months, or at the least, every year before the rainy season begins. You could also have a clogged discharge line, meaning that water can’t find a way out of your home once the pump turns on. Our technicians can check for any obstructions and make sure that everything is still properly connected. If the problem is internal, such as a faulty switch or misaligned float, we can provide the necessary repairs to get your sump pump working again.

As the snow melts this spring and the rain starts to fall, remain confident that your sump pump in Mokena will do what it’s intended to do. If it’s making strange noises or refuses to turn on, call RJ Graham Plumbing right away. We’ll be there as soon as we can to keep your home dry and protected from water damage.
