Sump Pump Repair
Keep Your Home Dry with Miami, FL, Sump Pump Repair!
The sump pump, often the lowest point in a Miami home, is designed to prevent the water levels in your home from rising. If the water level gets too high, the sump pump collects the water and moves it outside. This is an essential component of your plumbing system, especially when you are dealing with storms that are all too common in Florida.
When your sump pump works correctly, elevated water levels activate the float switch and this float switch transports water that it’s collecting through the hoses to the outside of your home. but once a sump pump stops working properly, your home is subject to a high risk of flooding and water damage.

Top 4 Reasons to Get a Sump Pump Repair Miami, Fl
There are several reasons why you might need Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for sump pump repairs. Below are the top 4 most common:
#1: No water
Your sump pump is responsible for removing water from the area and in Florida, there is a lot of water. So if your sump pump doesn’t have any water in it, the discharge line might be disconnected and that means the water isn’t going where it should. This puts you at risk for flooding.
#2: Clogs
Older sump pumps don’t come with a lid, which makes it particularly common for your sump pump to pull in things other than water and end up with a clog. We can help you with repairs, removing the clog and also with considerations for newer models with an airtight lid.
#3: No power
Sump pumps rely on a motor, and if yours doesn’t have a backup system, power outages can mean the pump doesn’t work properly. This is particularly risky during Hurricane Season, where your home and property are most vulnerable to flooding.
#4: Too much power
On the other hand, if your sump pump is running all the time, it will burn out the motor much sooner than it should. This also means you’re using more power than you need to. The most common causes are faulty float switches or broken check valves and we can help you make sure that these are repaired.
