Sump Pump Mechanical Repairs

Sump Pump and Sewer Ejector Pump Diagnostic & Repair Services

When your sump pump or sewer ejector pump starts to malfunction, getting it fixed quickly can restore its functionality. 
 
We specialize in diagnosing problems, taking apart equipment, repairing damaged parts, and refurbishing pumps when feasible. 
 
We look for signs like unusual noises, leaks, or inadequate performance to identify what’s wrong. From there, we determine whether a basic repair, crafting a custom part, or a complete cleaning and realignment is necessary. If the pump can’t be salvaged, we’ll inform you, allowing you to explore other options.

Our Mechanical Expertise

We bring a wealth of mechanical skill to every job. Our work involves not just pumps, but also fans, tanks, and generators, following detailed layout plans. We are comfortable using cranes, jacks, and tractors to move heavy equipment, and we know how to inspect and troubleshoot power transmission, vacuum, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems. By adjusting machinery and replacing defective parts, we ensure all components—from basic mechanical elements to programmable logic controls—function at their best.
Routine maintenance is second nature. We read blueprints, diagrams, and schematics to guide our work. Each step aims to maximize performance and extend the useful life of your equipment.

"Never in my life have I experienced a better contractor"

Yauhen and his team are by far the best contractors I have ever worked with. I had a sump pump and back valve and main drain issue. He came and fixed everything in one day – the work was done perfectly and at a very reasonable price compared to other industrial tech. Since then there have been a few other issues that I have called Yauhen about. He is always around to answer his phone – and he always stops by almost immediately to help. Never in my life have I experienced a better contractor. I very highly recommend Yauhen and his team!

FAQ

What are common signs that my sump pump needs repair?

Common indicators include unusual noises, visible leaks, frequent cycling, or failure to remove water from the sump pit. If your basement floods despite the pump running, it’s a clear sign something isn’t right.

Ideally, your sump pump should be inspected at least once a year, especially before the wet season begins. However, if you’ve had issues or if your area is prone to heavy rainfall, consider bi-annual checks.

While many issues can be resolved through repair, some problems like severe corrosion, a malfunctioning motor, or outdated technology might make replacement more cost-effective or necessary for continued reliability.

A diagnostic involves checking the pump for operational efficiency, examining the float switch, testing for proper activation, inspecting for blockages or wear, and ensuring the check valve and discharge line are functioning correctly.

Simple repairs, like cleaning the pump or adjusting the float, might take just an hour or two. More complex issues, such as motor repair or part fabrication, could take longer, possibly a few days if parts need to be ordered or if extensive disassembly is required.

If your sump pump fails during a storm, immediately turn off the pump to prevent further damage, and use a backup pump if available. If you don’t have a backup, manually remove water with buckets or a wet/dry vacuum, and call for emergency repair services as soon as it’s safe to do so. Remember, not all repairs can be made in the moment; some might require waiting out the storm for safety reasons.
