A sump pump is your trusted tool to keep your home free from water damage and flooding when those cold and wet Mount Airy winters hit. Typically installed below your basement or crawlspace, a sump pump removes water from your home and transports it away from your property.
Jay’s Heating, Air, and Plumbing is here to help with all of your sump pump needs. Whether you’re looking to care for your unit with maintenance and inspections, have an issue that requires repair, or are looking to have a new unit installed, we have someone for the job. Keep reading to learn about our comprehensive sump pump and plumbing services offered by trusted NATE-certified technicians.
Sump Pump Inspection Services
The last thing you want on a stormy Mount Airy day is for your sump pump to fail. Having annual sump pump inspections helps you stay ahead of breakdowns and checks that everything is working as it should. We’ll thoroughly inspect your sump pump unit and its components to check for any signs of rust, damage, or corrosion. If a repair or replacement is needed, we’ll provide you with a quote and get the service scheduled immediately.
Sump Pump Maintenance
Your sump pump protects your home from disastrous floods, so it’s important to provide it with the care and upkeep it needs to function properly. Annual maintenance allows our technicians to clean, inspect, and run the sump pump to make sure everything is working correctly. During our visit, one of our certified technicians will:
- Inspect the sump pump thoroughly
- Clean out the basin
- Clean the weep hole
- Clean the impeller
- Check for any strange smells or noises
- Test the sump pump for proper function
While some DIY maintenance can help your sump pump, it’s important to schedule a professional visit once per year. With our team’s extensive training and expertise, we make sure the job gets done right.
Sump Pump Repair Services
When your sump pump starts acting up, it’s important to get on top of the issue quickly. Avoiding repairs can lead to a full breakdown and leave your home unprotected. Keep an eye out for the following signs that your sump pump is on the fritz:
- You hear strange noises: If you hear squealing, banging, or grinding noises coming from your sump pump, there is likely a mechanical problem. A failing motor, damaged impeller, or other components can cause these sounds.
- Your sump pump is turning on and off frequently: Your sump pump shouldn’t be constantly switching on and off. This may be caused by a clogged pipe, a malfunctioning switch, or a pump issue that needs to be repaired.
- You see rust or corrosion: Rust or corrosion can represent a water leak and result in long-term damage or breakdown of your unit.
- It won’t turn on: If your sump pump won’t turn on, there is likely an electrical problem or malfunctioning component.
- Your sump pump is vibrating: Minor vibration isn’t something to worry about, but if your sump pump is excessively vibrating during operation, there is likely something wrong with the impeller or motor.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to give us a call. With our experience and expertise, we can help you with sump pump troubleshooting and determine the problem with your system. We offer a flat rate fee for all repairs, meaning you’ll pay for the job at hand, not the time it takes to finish it. We’ll keep you informed during the entire process and answer any questions you may have.

It’s important to let a professional handle your sump pump installation as we have the skills and training to make sure everything is done properly. An improperly installed system can lead to extensive water damage that costs much more in the long run.
Sump Pump Replacement
Like all things, your sump pump will wear down over time. The average unit has a lifespan of around 10 years with proper maintenance and care. If your unit has reached a decade of use or is in constant need of repair, it’s time for a replacement. While replacing your unit can be a big investment, it’s a worthwhile cost that will save you money in the long run.
Our certified technicians will take care of every detail, ensuring prompt and professional replacement. We’ll uninstall and remove the old unit from your home, connect the new unit, and make sure everything is running smoothly.
If your previous sump pump wasn’t meeting your needs, we can also help recommend a different unit that may be a better fit for your home. Our specialists can also recommend add-ons to your current unit, including a sump pump battery backup. Having a backup installed will make sure your sump pump operates even during a power outage.
