KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS
When to Call for a Sump Pump Repair
Recognizing the early signs of a failing sump pump can save you from costly water damage. If you notice your pump is making loud or unusual noises like grinding or rattling, it could indicate worn-out motor bearings or a jammed impeller. A pump that runs constantly, even in dry weather, might have a stuck float switch or a faulty check valve that allows water to flow back into the pit.
Other red flags include a pump that won’t turn on at all, cycles on and off too frequently, or is more than 7-10 years old. Don’t wait for water to start seeping into your basement. If you observe any of these symptoms, contact the experts at Jackson Comfort Services. We’ll perform a thorough inspection to pinpoint the problem and recommend the most effective repair.
PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY
Sump Pump Installation & Replacement
Whether you’re installing a sump pump for the first time or replacing an old, unreliable unit, professional installation is key to effective, long-term performance. A properly sized and correctly installed sump pump is essential for keeping your basement or crawl space dry. Our experienced plumbers can help you select the right system for your home’s specific needs, considering factors like your local water table and the size of your basement.
We install high-quality, durable sump pumps, including submersible and pedestal models, as well as essential battery backup systems that keep you protected during power outages. An aging sump pump is a major liability. If your unit is approaching the end of its lifespan, a proactive replacement from Jackson Comfort Services provides the ultimate peace of mind and protection against future flooding.
POWER OUTAGE PROTECTION
The Importance of a Battery Backup System
Severe storms that bring heavy rainfall are often the same storms that knock out your power. Without electricity, a standard sump pump is useless, leaving your home completely defenseless against rising groundwater. This is why a battery backup sump pump is one of the most important investments you can make for your home’s flood protection system.
A battery backup system is a secondary pump that kicks in automatically the moment the power goes out. It runs on a powerful deep-cycle battery, ensuring that water continues to be pumped out of your basement until the electricity is restored. At Jackson Comfort Services, we strongly recommend and professionally install battery backup systems to provide your home with uninterrupted protection.

GOT QUESTIONS?
Sump Pump Frequently Asked Questions
To help you better understand your home’s flood protection system, we’ve answered some of the most common questions we receive from homeowners in the Northfield area. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our knowledgeable team.
How often should I test my sump pump?
You should test your sump pump every 2-3 months, and always before a season of heavy rain. Simply pour a bucket of water into the sump pit to ensure the float switch rises and the pump activates to clear the water.
What's the average lifespan of a sump pump?
Most sump pumps have a lifespan of about 7 to 10 years. If your pump is approaching this age, it’s wise to consider a proactive replacement to avoid failure during a critical time.
What is the difference between a submersible and a pedestal pump?
A submersible pump sits down inside the sump pit, making it quieter and less obtrusive. A pedestal pump has its motor mounted on a column above the pit, which is easier to service but can be louder and more visible.
Why is my sump pump running constantly?
This could be due to a number of issues, including a stuck float switch, a broken check valve allowing water to flow back in, or an undersized pump that can’t keep up with the volume of incoming water. It requires professional diagnosis.
Do I really need a battery backup system?
If you live in an area prone to power outages during storms, a battery backup is highly recommended. It’s your only protection against flooding when the electricity goes out. It’s affordable insurance for your basement.
