Sump pump repair, new pumps and battery backups for Loveland basements
Call (970) 703-7417 NowLoveland has plenty of homes with basements, from older houses near downtown to newer builds around Boyd Lake and Centerra. In spots where spring melt or lawn watering keeps the soil wet, the pump in the basement pit is the only thing moving that water outside instead of onto your carpet.
Larimer County, like much of Colorado, has elevated radon levels in many homes. An open sump pit can let soil gas into the basement, and many mitigation systems use a sealed pit lid. We make sure the lid is resealed whenever we work on the pump.
The best time to test a pump is before snowmelt and spring storms, not during them. A quick check with a bucket of water tells you whether the float lifts and the pump empties the pit. If your basement is already wet, our emergency plumbers can help right away.
Check how water reaches the pit and where it leaves
Run the pump through a full cycle with water
Repair, replace or add a backup pump
Retest and make sure discharge flows away from the house
Yes. We can cut in a new pit at the low point of the basement, connect it to drain tile where present, and install a pump with an outside discharge.
Each season change is a good habit, with March the one not to skip. Fill the basin with a hose and confirm the motor kicks on, empties it and stops by itself.
A dry pit can let sewer or soil gases through, and standing water can grow bacteria. Sealing the lid and checking the drain connections usually solves it.
