Tampa, FL Sump Pump Repair by Sears Handyman

If you're noticing water entering your basement, it probably means your sump pump needs some attention. When it rains or snows, sometimes ground water can infiltrate your basement. When this occurs, your sump pump siphons the water out of your basement. If the sump pump is malfunctioning, the water will continue to collect in the basement - a problem that, if left untreated, can seriously affect the structural integrity of your basement foundation, not to mention making your basement uninhabitable by causing mold growth and ruining any stored items or furniture.

If you notice water in your basement, a broken sump pump is a likely culprit. To know how to fix your sump pump, call on a Sears Handyman to inspect your sump pump for problems. Once on the job, a Sears Handyman technician can determine the problem and see if the sump pump needs repaired or cleaned. Depending on the problem, our technician will either repair your existing sump pump or suggest that you purchase a new one, which the technician can install.

While most new homes with a basement will feature a sump pump, some older homes may not have one installed, or they might require a new sump pump to replace an older model. Installing a sump pump from scratch can be a difficult task. Sump pump installation involves cutting or digging a hole in the basement for the pump to rest in, running pipe from the pump out into a drainage system, and making sure the mechanism operates as it should.

Many homeowners find that they need assistance with installing a sump pump due to the technicality and precision of the work involved. For new sump pump installation, a Sears Handyman professional can perform each step of the process correctly.

Our professional handyman can inspect your basement, discuss options for sump pump installation, and perform the installation correctly.
