Combat Spring Showers: Keep Your Sump Pump Ready

Spring in the regions served by Master Services Inc., such as Janesville, Burlington, and
Lake Geneva, often means welcoming the refreshing rains. However, while these rains
are perfect for your garden, they could be less kind to your basements, making sump
pump readiness crucial. Picture a quiet evening in Burlington, when sudden showers hit,
and you realize your sump pump is faltering. This perilous scenario was once a reality for
A. Bergey, who shared, “My basement was raining… Peter came out. Fixed my issue, was
very professional…”[0].

Understanding Your Sump Pump

Your sump pump is your home’s silent guardian against water damage. Itʼs stationed in
the lowest part of your basement, playing a pivotal role in preventing water accumulation
by channeling it away from your home.

Key Components:

Pump Mechanism: This pumps water out of your basement through a discharge pipe.
Float Switch: Acts as the lookout for rising water levels, activating the pump when
needed.
Discharge Pipe: Facilitates water removal from your home to an external location.

Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Attention

Spring rains are unpredictable, making it vital to ensure your sump pump is up to the
task. Here are signs that it may need professional inspection:
Odd Noises: Grinding or rattling noises could indicate mechanical issues.
Irregular Cycling: The pump switching on and off erratically might signal a short
circuit.
Continuous Operation: When your pump runs non-stop, it could be due to a
malfunctioning float switch.
In one instance, a customer named Marc S. praised Master Services for their prompt and
outstanding repair work: “Brad(our service technician) had us back and going in only a
few hours…”[6].
