What Your Sump Pump Does
A sump pump is a pump that sits in a pit in your basement floor, and it is used to pump out any water that collects in the pit and send it outside and away from your home. Most of the time, your sump pump is not something you are going to think about very often, but when there is a heavy rain or the snow is melting, it is one of the most important things in your home to keep your basement dry.
If your sump pump stops working during a storm, your basement can end up flooding, and this does cause a lot of water damage that can be very expensive to fix. That's why we recommend having your sump pump looked at before you actually need it, especially before the spring rain starts here in Central Illinois.
At Fox Plumbing, we install, replace, and repair sump pumps for homes in Peoria and the surrounding areas. We are also able to install battery backup sump pumps, so your basement is still able to stay dry even if your power goes out during a storm.
Signs You Need Sump Pump Service
If you are noticing any of these with your sump pump, feel free to give us a call so we can take a look before it ends up turning into a bigger problem.
Constantly Running
If your sump pump is running all the time, even when there isn't a lot of water in the pit, this can be a sign of a stuck float switch or a bad check valve, and it can cause your pump to burn out early.
Not Turning On
If the water in your pit is rising but your sump pump isn't turning on, this is most likely a problem with the float switch or the motor, and you should get it looked at right away.
Loud Noises
Grinding, rattling, or loud humming coming from your sump pump can be signs of the motor wearing out or something being stuck in the pump.
Older Sump Pump
If your sump pump is around 7 to 10 years old, it might just be best to replace it before it ends up failing on you during a big storm.
The sooner you get it taken care of, the less likely you are to end up with water in your basement. If you are noticing any of these signs, feel free to give us a call at (309) 309-2554!
Call NowWhat Sump Pump Service Is the Best Solution for You?
Many different things should be considered when choosing between repairing your sump pump and replacing it, with the biggest ones being how old your pump is and what the problem is. When it comes to your basement, you don't want a quick fix that will only fail on you during the next big storm.
Repairing Your Sump Pump
If your sump pump is still fairly new and it has a problem like a stuck float switch, a bad check valve, or a clogged discharge line, we will normally recommend a repair, as these can be fixed without having to replace the entire pump.
Replacing Your Sump Pump
If your sump pump is over 7 years old, the motor is starting to go out, or it has already failed on you before, we almost always recommend a replacement, as it will most likely make more sense financially in the long run than continuing to pay for repairs.
Upgrading Your Sump Pump
If your sump pump is running all the time during heavy rain and still isn't able to keep up, your pump might be too small for your home. If this is a problem you're experiencing, we normally recommend upgrading to a more powerful pump.

Sump Pump Repair & Installation
We offer many different sump pump services, with some of them being:
New Sump Pump Installation
We install new sump pumps and make sure they are the right size for your home, as well as make sure the water is being sent far enough away from your foundation.
Sump Pump Replacement
If your sump pump is old or has stopped working, we will remove your old pump and replace it with a new one as soon as we can.
Battery Backup Systems
A battery backup is a second pump that will turn on if your power goes out or your main sump pump stops working. We recommend these for most homes, as the power normally goes out during the same storms where you need your sump pump the most.
Check Valve Replacement
A check valve stops the water that was pumped out from flowing back into your sump pit. If yours is not working, your sump pump will run a lot more than it should, and we are able to replace it for you.
Float Switch Repair
If your float switch gets stuck, your sump pump will either keep running or won't turn on at all. We are able to repair or replace the float switch to get your sump pump working properly once again.
Discharge Line Repair
Your discharge line is what carries the water outside, and these lines can freeze or get clogged during the winter here in Illinois. If yours is having issues, we will repair or replace it for you.
