Sump Pump Repair and Maintenance

A full inspection is only needed about once a quarter and will be factored into a regular sump pump maintenance plan. A full inspection of your sump pump should only take about 20 minutes. The rest of the time, you can give it quick monthly tests. While you should always call a plumber in Fort Collins, CO for a full inspection, we’ll give you a few things you can check that should signal the need for sump pump repairs.

  • The drainpipe is what takes water outside of the home. Excessive buildup might clog the drainpipe, so check to see if it needs cleaning.
  • The sump pump requires electrical components to work, so check them for any signs of damage.
  • Mechanical failures like a stuck float or check valve are not uncommon.
  • Test it by pouring a bucket of water into the sump pump pit.

If any of these tests give you trouble, you should immediately call a plumber for assistance. Finding out you need sump pump replacement or repair at the last minute won’t help!

When Do Sump Pumps Need Replacement?

Your sump pump will need replacement at some point. Typical sump pumps have lifespans of about 10 years, provided they receive regular maintenance and inspections. Because sump pumps are devices only needed during emergencies, you don’t want to put off replacing yours when it has reached the expiration date.

We also recommend installing a secondary sump pump as a backup. Battery powered sump pumps can act not just as a failsafe for the first one in the event of a breakdown, but as a backup if your home’s power should fail—perfect for those times when a stormy night brings flooding. Alternatively, there are some backups that use a pressurized water supply instead of a battery charge. A helpful professional can determine the type you need.

Jon took time to explain what he was doing and how he would prepare an estimate. I especially like that we scheduled a follow up visit for him to discuss the estimate he creates. Great service..

For years we have had our heating/cooling systems semi-annually maintained. Today we had the pleasure of having Jake Philpott do the maintenance tasks (at two different locations). We quickly learned he is dedicated to making sure the customer knows what's going on and the conditions of our systems. Very professional, personable, and made sure we were pleased with his work and conditions of his work area. Jake is another great representative for Fort Collins Heating & Air. Thanks Jake!!

I can't say enough about how good the sales process was. In shopping for an expensive heat pump and furnace system, for me I need a lot of information and I went through quotes with three companies, and Dave at Fort Collins Heating and air conditioning was far and away the best. I had a lot of detailed questions and he had all the answers, more detailed than I could have expected! I was especially impressed with his description of their quality control team, that comes through after the install and does a thorough check of static pressures, air flow and other performance measurements. They reward the install team for a good job and penalize them financially for a poor job. That's amazing. The installation guys seemed to know exactly what they were doing and worked well together and again answered all my questions, it looks perfect and they took 2 days for the install so it was not rushed. One of their competitors (in the yellow vans, hint) asked for 100% payment up front! And their prices were 40% higher, and they bragged about a one-day install, which is ridiculous. Installation is everything. Thanks for the system, I'm confident it is gonna work great.

Jake did a great job on my annual fall furnace inspection and maintenance. He showed and explained the work done, and clearly explained the status of all involved — thankfully everything in good shape. Left the work area organized and clean.

Tucker was genuinely the best service person we’ve had for a long time. Very personable and efficient. Hopefully he’ll have a long no career with Fort Collins Heating and Air!
