Are You Neglecting This Crucial Element of Your Home?
Although we can be a little bit geeky about things such as our industry-leading sump pump systems; we know that the average person rarely thinks about this crucial element of a home.
Let’s face it, sump pumps aren’t something you enjoy as you might other upgrades, like new countertops, a TV or living room furniture. No one is going to gather around the sump pump and discuss its beauty, reliability and functionality (except maybe one of our team members!). Sump pumps are one of those things that most homeowners don’t give much attention to… until they fail.
Three facts:
- Water damage accounted for 48% of all house insurance claims in Canada in 2011.
- The sump pump is a home’s primary defense against water damage.
- Sump pumps don’t last forever. The average lifespan is only about 10 years.
Not only do older sump pumps need to be replaced, even newer pumps need routine maintenance to ensure proper functioning.
Most sump pumps fail for three main reasons:
- Switch or valve failure
- Pump failure
- Interruption to the electrical supply of the pump
The above reasons for sump pump failure are highly unpredictable, and that’s another reason to have your sump pump inspected and serviced.
A sump pump upgrade along with routine maintenance will help:
- Ensure that the pump is operating as it should
- Save you money on costly future repairs
- Protect your home and valuables from damage or loss
We make it easy for you to protect your home with our annual maintenance and service program. Our team sends reminders yearly, then schedules a convenient visit to your home to inspect and maintain the sump pump system.
