Do You Need a Sump Pump?<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re moving into a new space or if this is just your first time purchasing a sump pump, we\u2019re here to help you out. You\u2019ve got two main choices in your sump pump: pedestal and submersible. A pedestal<\/strong> sump pump is a little smaller. It has a motor that sits above the water line. This is a great choice if you\u2019re working with limited space in your home. If you have a little more room, we\u2019d suggest opting for a submersible<\/strong> sump pump. Submersible sump pumps seat themselves in a larger basin and they have a motor beneath <\/em>the water line. While we definitely recommend a submersible unit, having a sump pump at is better than nothing at all.<\/p>\n

How to Get Your Sump Pump Ready<\/h2>\n

Now, let\u2019s talk about how you can get your home\u2019s sump pump ready for the spring season. When spring arrives, it means the cold Massachusetts snow starts to melt. Rain soon follows that. You know the phrase we all learned as children\u2014\u201cApril showers bring May flowers.\u201d Massachusetts upholds this rhyme well. Of course, having a sump pump at all is a great way to avoid flooding. If you\u2019re looking to keep your home in pristine condition though, you\u2019re going to need to maintain your sump pump. This is that extra little insurance that you need to keep things in great shape. The last thing you would want is to have flooding occur in your home and realize that your sump pump isn\u2019t working. Maintenance is the opportunity for a professional to come out and have a closer look at your unit. It\u2019s like the motivational pep talk and warm up before a big game. It gets your sump pump prepared for everything ahead.<\/p>\n

What Happens During Maintenance?<\/h2>\n

Pretty much any HVAC contractor you talk to will hype up the importance of maintenance. There\u2019s so much emphasis on this that we\u2019re sure that you might wonder what goes on behind the curtain.<\/p>\n

Check All Moving Parts<\/h3>\n

Some moving parts can get stiff after a season with no movement. We lubricate them and make sure they\u2019re working.<\/p>\n

Test for Efficacy<\/h3>\n

We test your sump pump to make sure it\u2019s still able to perform.<\/p>\n
