Your Good Old Reliable Sump Pump.

Let’s face it, even though they are mostly out of sight out of mind, sump pumps don’t last forever.  They have an average life expectancy of about 10 years.  If yours is older, it may be on borrowed time.  Maybe you are hearing sounds of impending doom when your sump pump has been forced to run in recent times.

Here are some signs that your sump pump is going bad –

1.  There is little or no water in the sump pit.

2.  Dirt and other contaminants are clogging it.

3.  It’s running too often.

4.  You have the wrong sized pump for your home.

We would love to just ignore our sump pump.  After all we don’t use it regularly like most of our other appliances, but maybe your pump’s due date has arrived!  If you need a sump pump inspection or replacement contact A River City Plumbing.  Just go to arivercityplumbingservice.com on the web and call the appropriate phone number for the Spokane or Coeur D’Alene area.

The Cost of Installing a New Gas Line.

If you are adding a new gas appliance, such as a gas water heater, dryer, or stove, you’ll likely need to install a new gas line.  You can also extend an existing gas line, such as you might do when adding a gas appliance outside.  In most cases you’ll need to hire a professional…this is NOT a DIY job!

In most cases, you will want to have them install a completely new gas line; however, if you are adding a smaller appliance or already have a gas line that is rarely used, it is possible to extend an existing gas line for around 75% of the cost.  This is a possible question that you could ask your gas line installation professional.

Whatever your decision, you can always count on the plumbing pros at A River City Plumbing Service to do the job right the first time…guaranteed.  A River City Plumbing has been the choice for any number of plumbing-related jobs around Spokane and Coeur D’Alene.  Just go to arivercityplumbingservice.com on the web and call the appropriate phone number.
