Q&A

What should I do if my Charleston home's sump pump stops working during a heavy rain?

First, try to unplug and plug it back in, and check the outlet. If it's still not running, call G W Plumbing immediately. Our local team understands how quickly our heavy rains and high water table can lead to flooding. We offer 24/7 emergency service for sump pump failures and can perform a comprehensive plumbing inspection to ensure your entire basement or crawlspace drainage system is protected.

Can a plumbing inspection help prevent my garbage disposal from jamming so often?

Absolutely. A G W Plumbing inspection goes beyond just checking pipes. Our Charleston plumbers can assess your entire kitchen plumbing system, including the disposal unit, drain lines, and venting. We'll look for underlying issues like slow drains or improper installation that contribute to jams and provide expert advice on proper disposal use for common local food waste, like shrimp shells and grits, to keep your kitchen flowing.

Why is my Charleston home's sump pump running constantly, even when it's not raining?

This is a common sign of a high water table or a problem with the pump's float switch or check valve. Constant running can burn out the motor quickly. A G W Plumbing inspection can diagnose the exact cause—whether it's a mechanical issue, an incorrectly sized pump for your area, or a need for additional drainage solutions. We'll provide a clear, local solution to protect your pump and your property.
