It’s Time to Pump…You Up.

That may sound like an old SNL routine with Hans and Franz, but in this case, it refers to a new pump for your home.  Basically, there are two types of sump pumps.  There are submersible pumps and pedestal pumps.  As you might have guessed, submersible ones are installed under water while pedestal ones are installed above the sump basin.

Here are some sump pumps to consider –

1.  Primary found in most basements

2.  Battery back-up pumps

3.  Combination…combining a primary and a battery back-up

4.  Sewage pumps which are designed primarily to pump sewage away from a home

Sump Pumps in Winter.

We in the Colorado Springs area know that winter will soon hit in full force.  When it does, is your sump pump ready for the Rocky Mountain weather ahead?  It is important to note that your sump pump will run occasionally during the winter months as melted snow tends to accumulate in the sump pit over time.

Here is the iffy part.  If your sump pump runs irregularly and continues for an extended period…you probably have a problem.  Did you remove its flex hose?    The flex hose connects to your sump pump’s plastic drain piping somewhere along the exterior of your home and is intended to direct sump water away from your home’s foundation. 

Problematic…you bet it is!  Do you want to be responsible for all of this yourself or would you like to have a Colorado Springs sump pump expert troubleshoot it for you?  That is why we are here.  We are Altitude Heating and Air solving and preventing HVAC issues throughout Colorado Springs.  Please give us a call at (719) 209-4955.
