Sump pump repair in Newmarket.

Pump will not start, runs constantly, hums without pumping, or trips the breaker. We diagnose the float, the check valve, the discharge and the pump itself, repair what can be repaired, and replace it when that is the honest answer.

How do I know my sump pump needs repair or replacement?

A pump that will not start, runs constantly, hums without pumping or lets water run back into the pit needs attention now. We test the float, check valve, discharge and pump, repair what can be repaired and replace the pump when that is the honest answer.

Most sump pump failures in Newmarket show up in the spring thaw or a summer downpour, exactly when the pump is needed most. The common causes are simple: a float stuck against the pit wall, a check valve that failed and lets the water run back, a discharge line frozen or clogged outside, or a pump that has worn out after ten years of cycling. Seal Plumbing diagnoses which one it is and fixes it on the spot where we can.

When the pump itself has failed, we replace it with one sized for your water load and set the float and check valve properly. If the pit is undersized or the discharge was never run correctly, we tell you, because a new pump in a bad setup will fail the same way. Pete and Joseph give you upfront pricing before any work starts.

The same goes for sewage ejectors in basement bathrooms: alarms, stuck floats and failed pumps are repairs we handle. See our sump pump installation page for new systems.
