Sump Pump Installations and Repairs for North Metro Atlanta Residents

Your sump pump stands between your basement or crawl space and devastating water damage. When heavy rains, rising groundwater, or plumbing failures threaten your property, a properly functioning sump pump activates automatically to remove water, prevent flooding, and protect your foundation, belongings, and structural integrity. However, sump pumps don't last forever, and they can fail without warning, often when you need them most.

Signs that You Need a Sump Pump

Not every property requires a sump pump, but certain conditions make them critical for preventing water damage and maintaining a dry, healthy living space. 

A quality sump pump installed by Smith & Johnson Certified Plumbing can help you deal with:

• Recurring basement flooding. Water can enter your basement or crawl space during heavy rains, snowmelt, or storms, leaving standing water that damages floors, walls, and stored items.
• Visible water stains or moisture. Water marks on basement walls, damp spots on floors, or persistent humidity suggest that groundwater is seeping into your foundation.
• Musty odors and mold growth. If your lower level smells damp or moldy, it could be a sign of ongoing moisture problems that can compromise air quality and structural materials.
• Foundation cracks with water seepage. Cracks in your foundation walls allow water to penetrate during wet weather, creating puddles or dampness that worsens over time.
• A high water table in your area. Sump pumps are essential for properties located in low-lying areas or in regions with high groundwater levels that naturally push water toward foundations.
• A risk to your finished basement. You've invested in finishing your basement with carpet, drywall, or valuable belongings, and that investment could suffer significant damage from even minor flooding.

If you're experiencing any of these conditions, our sump pump services can provide the protection your property needs. Smith & Johnson Certified Plumbing can evaluate your specific situation and recommend the right sump pump system for your home or business.

Testing and Maintenance for Reliable Sump Pump Performance

Sump pumps require regular testing to function reliably when emergencies strike. We recommend testing your sump pump at least once every three to four months, and more frequently during storm season. Testing involves pouring water into the sump pit to trigger the float switch and verify that the pump activates, removes water efficiently, and shuts off properly.

Between scheduled tests, watch for warning signs that indicate your sump pump needs professional attention. Strange noises like grinding, rattling, or excessive vibration suggest mechanical problems or debris in the system. If your pump runs continuously without shutting off, the float switch may be stuck, or the pump may be undersized for your needs. Visible rust, corrosion, or age beyond seven to ten years means replacement should be considered before failure occurs. Water in your basement despite a running pump indicates the system isn't keeping up with water volume or has lost pumping capacity.

Smith & Johnson Certified Plumbing provides thorough sump pump inspections, testing, and repairs to keep your system working when it matters most. We also offer backup sump pump installations for added protection during power outages. With 24/7 emergency availability and financing options on jobs over $2,500, we make it easy to safeguard your property.
