Solving Water Problems in Southwest Florida

Water damage is one of the most common types of damage that homeowners face. Sometimes, the cause is something that you can control, such as a pipe that has come loose or a faucet that is left running. Other times, the cause is something that you cannot control, such as a burst pipe or a flood. In such cases, it is vital to have a sump pump that operates efficiently, so that you can protect your home from flooding and water damage. At Whiskey Creek Plumbing, our licensed, insured plumbers have been serving Lee County since 2006. We can provide whatever sump pump solution you need.

How Sump Pumps Work

A sump pump is a mechanical device that is designed to pump out water that has entered your basement or crawlspace. The pump is usually located in a pit at the lowest point of the space and is connected to pipes that run to the drainage system. When the water level rises, the pump turns on and pumps the water out. This prevents the water from rising high enough to reach the main structural elements of the house, such as the walls and the floor.

When You Need a Sump Pump Repair

Sump pumps are designed to run whenever the water level rises. If your sump pump is not working, it is important to address the problem as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more damage the water can do.

A few of the signs that your sump pump needs repair include:

• Water is not being pumped out: If the sump pump is running but is not pumping the water out, the problem may be with the pump itself. Contact a professional plumber to inspect the pump and replace it if necessary.
• Water is being pumped out but not where it should: The water should be pumped out to the drainage system, not somewhere else. Find out if the check valve is working.
• Water is being pumped out but the sump pit is not emptying: The sump pit may be too full to allow the water to drain out. Call a plumber to inspect the sump pit and clean it if necessary.
