What Is a Sump Pump?

Simply put, sump pumps are designed to keep the lowest level of a building—AKA, your basement—dry. When rain or groundwater comes in, it flows into the pump’s pit. A float switch rises along with the increasing water level. Once that pit is filled to a critical level, that switch triggers the pump’s motor, which then expels the water and redirects it away from the home.

How a Sump Pump Benefits You

  • Prevents Flooding

    A pump redirects water away from the foundation of your house.

  • Reduces Moisture

    Less water in your basement means less humidity.

  • Stops Mold

    With less moisture and standing water inside your home, mold, mildew, and fungus will have a hard time growing.

  • Protects Appliances

    By redirecting water away from your house, a basement sump pump safeguards appliances like furnaces, water heaters, and washers and dryers.

Clogged drains can be a recurring and frustrating problem. Between hair, soap, food, mineral deposits, and dirt, there are a lot of ways to cause backups. Fortunately, Heiden Plumbing has the solutions. Mix ½ cup of salt and ½ cup of baking soda together, pour it down the clogged drain, and let it sit for half an hour before flushing it away with boiling water. If that doesn’t work, don’t settle for chemical drain cleaners, which can harm your pipes. Instead, give our plumbers a call to clear things away.

In general, water heaters last about eight to 12 years. To reach the tail end of that—and beyond—you need to take good care of it. That means regular maintenance appointments, insulating your pipes, and replacing corroded anode rods. Flushing the system out with manufacturer-recommended methods also helps.

When temperatures dip here in Southeastern Wisconsin, they can get low. Help yourself prevent frozen pipes with these tips:

  • Insulate pipes that are exposed to outside air, like those in attics and crawl spaces
  • Keep your thermostat set no lower than 60°F
  • Shut off water to your outdoor spigots

In general, you shouldn’t need them replaced, but the real answer depends on what type of pipes you have and how much water you use. If you notice water pressure issues or frequent leaking, call our experts right away. Those are signs of a deeper problem—and one Heiden Plumbing can fix.
