That can include the pump running for extended periods or turning on and off frequently.

FAQs
Here are answers to a handful of common questions about sump pumps in East Dundee. Contact us at your convenience with any additional questions.
How Often Should I Have My Sump Pump Serviced?
We recommend scheduling a sump pump maintenance appointment every year. The best time to schedule is before the thawing and heavy rains that occur in spring. Our plumber will perform a multipoint inspection and comprehensive cleaning. We can correct any normal wear and tear and recommend proactive repairs as needed.
What Size Sump Pump Does My Home Need?
The ideal pump size depends on many factors, including the depth of your basement and the local water table. The typical sump pump size in this region is 1/2 horsepower. That said, pumps range from 1/3 hp to 1 hp and more. We recommend an inspection through which we can perform accurate sizing for your home.
How Long Do Sump Pumps Usually Last?
The typical submersible sump pump that we install can last up to 10 years with proper maintenance. Pedestal sump pumps can last upward of 25 years with routine maintenance. We’ll generally recommend replacement of submersible pumps after seven years, as soon as they need significant repairs. Our team will typically advise proactive replacement of submersible pumps at the 10-year mark.
Should I Install A Battery Backup System?
Yes, we recommend a battery backup system for all homes that need a sump pump. If a power outage occurs, your backup system will cycle on automatically to keep your basement dry. This is good advice, even if you protect your home with a standby generator. A backup pump can cycle on automatically, whereas a generator can take several minutes or more.
Does Lifeline Provide 24/7 Sump Pump Repair?
Yes, we offer emergency services because we understand that time is of the essence when dealing with a failed sump pump. Even if it’s a weekend or a holiday, our plumbers are standing by to help. Our team can perform a precision repair of your sump pump. If the pump is old or too expensive to repair, we can perform an emergency replacement instead.
