Prevent Failures Before Peak Water Season
Most sump pump failures are preventable. Maintenance catches wear, electrical issues, and discharge restrictions before your system is exposed to high inflow conditions. We provide structured maintenance for Boise homes and light commercial properties.
What Maintenance Includes
- Operational test: verify switch response, flow rate, and cycle behavior.
- Basin inspection: check sediment, debris, and float movement clearance.
- Discharge review: inspect line condition, freeze relief, and outlet performance.
- Backup verification: test battery health and transfer behavior where equipped.
Recommended Service Timing
- Late winter: pre-runoff system verification.
- Mid irrigation season: performance check for high-cycle properties.
- Late fall: discharge and freeze-risk preparation.
If maintenance reveals repeated stress conditions, we may recommend system redesign or proactive replacement planning.
Common Failure Modes We Catch Early
- Sticking or drifting float switch behavior.
- Weak pump output from wear or obstruction.
- Check-valve issues causing backflow and excess cycling.
- Battery decline reducing outage runtime.
