Sump Pump Installation
Considering the importance of a dry, flood-free basement, sump pump installation is a critical service we provide at Kent Plumber Pro. A properly installed sump pump can safeguard your home from water damage, mold growth, and structural issues. The key benefits of having a sump pump include consistent removal of water from your basement, which helps maintain a dry environment and protects your property from potential flooding.
Our team ensures the sump pump is correctly installed in a strategically chosen sump pit, typically the lowest point in the basement. This placement optimizes water collection and discharge. We also focus on the installation of a reliable discharge line to direct water away from your home's foundation.
Sump pump maintenance is equally essential to ensure long-term functionality. Routine checks are necessary to confirm that the pump and float switch operate correctly.
We recommend periodic testing, cleaning of the pump inlet screen, and inspecting the discharge line for obstructions.
Basement Pump Repairs
In our experience, basement pump repair can involve a variety of systems, including pedestal sump pumps, submersible sump pumps, flood pumps, and drain pumps. Each type has unique components and potential issues that require specific expertise. We'll guide you through diagnosing common problems and the steps needed for effective repairs.
Pedestal Sump Pump
A pedestal sump pump is a reliable solution for keeping your basement dry and free from water damage. Unlike its submersible counterpart, the pedestal sump pump has its motor mounted above the sump pit, offering several advantages. One of the key pedestal advantages is its ease of maintenance. Since the motor is not submerged, it's less prone to water damage and corrosion, making it more durable over time.
Another significant advantage is the pedestal pump's accessibility. Because the motor is above the pit, it's easier for us to perform routine checks and repairs without needing to remove the entire unit. This design also allows for quicker and more straightforward troubleshooting, ensuring your pump is always in optimal working condition.
To keep your pedestal sump pump functioning efficiently, we recommend a few essential maintenance tips. First, periodically check the pump for any debris that might obstruct the inlet screen or impeller. Second, test the float switch to ensure it moves freely and activates the pump as intended.
Lastly, inspect the power cord for any signs of wear or damage and replace it if necessary. By following these tips, you can extend the life of your pedestal sump pump and maintain a dry, safe basement.

Submersible Sump Pump
While pedestal sump pumps offer many advantages, submersible sump pumps bring their own unique benefits, especially when dealing with basement pump repairs. Submersible sump pumps are designed to operate underwater, making them ideal for efficiently removing water from flooded basements. Their sealed design prevents electrical short circuits and reduces the risk of motor burnout, which is crucial for long-term sump pump maintenance.
One of the key sump pump benefits of using a submersible model is its quiet operation. Unlike pedestal pumps, which can be noisy, submersible pumps work silently beneath the water, minimizing disturbances in your home. Moreover, their design helps prevent clogging from debris and sediment, which enhances their reliability and lifespan.
When it comes to maintenance, submersible sump pumps require periodic checks to ensure they're functioning optimally. Inspect the pump for any signs of wear and tear, clean the intake screen, and test the float switch regularly. These steps are essential for preventing basement flooding and maintaining the efficiency of your sump pump.
At Kent Plumber Pro, our team is experienced in both the installation and repair of submersible sump pumps. We're committed to ensuring your basement stays dry and your pump remains in top condition.
Flood Pump
Dealing with a flood pump issue in your basement can be daunting, but understanding the essentials of basement pump repair can make the process smoother. Flood pumps are critical for flood prevention and mitigating water damage in basements. When they malfunction, quick and efficient repair is imperative.
First, let's identify the common issues. Flood pumps can suffer from electrical failures, clogged discharge lines, or worn-out components. We need to inspect the pump for any visible damage and ensure the power supply is functioning correctly. If the pump isn't running, check the circuit breaker or fuse box.
Next, clear any debris from the discharge line. Blockages can severely hinder the pump's performance, leading to potential water damage. It's also essential to inspect the float switch, as a stuck or faulty switch can prevent the pump from activating.
Regular maintenance plays a vital role in flood prevention. We recommend scheduling periodic inspections and cleanings to keep your flood pump in optimal condition. If you're unsure about any step, it's best to consult a professional. At Kent Plumber Pro, our licensed plumbers are ready to provide expert basement pump repair services, ensuring your home remains dry and protected.
Drain Pump
When it comes to basement maintenance, ensuring your drain pump operates efficiently is crucial. A well-maintained drain pump is essential for preventing water accumulation and potential flooding in your basement. At Kent Plumber Pro, we specialize in drain maintenance and pump efficiency, ensuring your system functions optimally year-round.
First, we'll inspect your drain pump for any signs of wear and tear. Components like the impeller, seals, and electrical connections are checked meticulously. Any debris that could obstruct the pump's operation is cleared to maintain maximum efficiency.
Next, we conduct a thorough testing phase. By simulating different conditions, we ensure that your drain pump responds correctly to various water levels. This step is vital for certifying that the pump activates and deactivates as needed, providing reliable performance during heavy rainfall or plumbing leaks.
Finally, we provide you with practical maintenance tips. Regular cleaning and periodic professional inspections can prolong the life of your pump and enhance its efficiency. Remember, consistent drain maintenance not only prevents costly repairs but also safeguards your home from water damage.
Trust Kent Plumber Pro for expert drain pump repair and maintenance. We're committed to keeping your basement dry and your pump running smoothly.
