Plumbing Service Saint Louis MO | Call Eplumbing&sewer

A professional plumbing inspection by Eplumbing&sewer focuses on the key systems that protect your basement. We thoroughly check your sump pump's operation, battery backup, discharge line, and the surrounding drainage. We also inspect main sewer lines for potential blockages or damage that can cause backups during heavy rain. Identifying and fixing these issues proactively is the most effective way to prevent flooding before it starts.

Our sump pump inspection in Saint Louis is comprehensive. We test the pump's automatic float switch, check for proper power supply, listen for unusual noises, and measure its pumping capacity. We also inspect the pit for debris, ensure the check valve is functioning to prevent backflow, and verify that the discharge line is clear and directs water well away from your home's foundation. This detailed check ensures it's ready for the next heavy storm.

Yes, a sump pump that runs non-stop is a sign of a potential problem common in our area. It could indicate a high water table, a malfunctioning float switch, an undersized pump for your home's needs, or that the pump is working against a clogged or frozen discharge line. Continuing to run under this strain can burn out the motor. A plumbing inspection from Eplumbing&sewer will diagnose the exact cause and recommend the right solution to protect your basement.
