Protect Your Basement With a Reliable Sump Pump

A-Fordable Plumbing & Mechanical repairs, replaces and installs sump pumps and backup systems in Sterling Heights and across Macomb and Oakland County. If your pump is not turning on or water is rising in the pit, call (248) 371-0494.

In Metro Detroit, a sump pump is one of the most important systems protecting your home. Drain tile around your foundation directs groundwater into a sump pit, and the pump moves it out and away before it can seep into the basement.

When the pump fails during a heavy rain or snowmelt, water can damage finishes, belongings and drywall fast. We service the full system, including the pump, float switch, check valve and discharge line.

Warning Signs

Signs You Need Sump Pump Repair

Sump pumps usually give warnings before they fail completely.

Pump Will Not Turn On

A stuck float, electrical issue or failed motor can stop the pump from activating.

Runs Constantly

A pump that never shuts off may be undersized, have a bad switch or a failed check valve.

Strange Noises

Grinding, rattling or loud humming can mean worn parts or debris in the impeller.

Water Rising in the Pit

Water that keeps climbing in the pit is a sign the pump is not keeping up.

Frequent Cycling

Short, frequent cycles can point to a float problem or discharge water returning to the pit.

Pump Is Getting Old

Many sump pumps need replacement every several years. Replacing before failure avoids a flooded basement.

FAQ

Sump Pump Service Questions

Still have questions? Call our team and we will help you figure out the next step.

Call (248) 371-0494
How long does a sump pump last?

Lifespan depends on how hard the pump works, the quality of the unit and maintenance. Many homeowners replace their pump every several years to avoid a failure during a storm.

Do I need a battery backup sump pump?

A backup is a smart choice if you have a finished basement or your area loses power during storms. It keeps water moving when the main pump cannot.

Why does my sump pump run all the time?

Constant running can come from high groundwater, an undersized pump, a stuck float switch, a failed check valve or discharge water flowing back into the pit.

Where should my sump pump discharge?

Water should discharge a safe distance from the foundation. Downspouts should also be routed away from the home to reduce water around basement walls.

Can you install a sump pump the same day?

In many cases, yes. Call (248) 371-0494 and we will get you scheduled as quickly as possible.
