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.
