Sump pump
Have a sump pump? If you have a decked-out basement in Tacoma, your answer had better be 'Absolutely!'
Here in the City of Destiny we get an average of 39.25 inches of rainfall every year. This can keep your home's sump pump very busy indeed keeping your basement dry winter, spring, summer and fall!
Although your sump pump is out of sight and usually out of mind, it's always working hard-very hard-while you do other things.
In Tacoma, your typical sump pump has to keep things dry year-'round. And when the skies open up and you get deluged, it works at highest capacity to keep your basement dry. The average life span of a sump pump in Tacoma is seven to ten years. The switch is usually what fails first.
Steve was gracious enough to come to our home late on a Sunday evening when we had a sewer pump emergency. He resolved our problem very quickly and efficiently and was very easy to talk to without feeling any pressure. Would definitely highly recommend his services to friends and would call him for any plumbing services we need in the future. Thank you, Steve!! - J. Baradat

So what can happen on a rainy day should your sump pump fail you? (Sure you really want to know? Then read on!) Literally hundreds of gallons of water can flood your basement within minutes, quickly causing thousands of dollars in damage.
Without a robust dependable sump pump, you will have to replace your furnace, water heater and other electrical and mechanical devices if they become inundated with water.
Here's the scary bottom line: The failure of your sump pump isn't a matter if; it's a matter of when. So protect your home with a battery backup sump pump. If your basement is decked out, a battery backup system is crucial to keeping everything in the area safe, dry and in good working order. But not all basic backup systems are reliable, so invest in a great quality battery backup sump pump to be sure it will actually kick in when (not if) your primary water pump fails.
Check your sump pump at least a couple times of year-quarterly is even better. It's easy and fast to do, and takes just a couple of minutes. Simply pour enough water into the sump pit to 'cycle' the submersible pump (cause it to jump into action).
If it works, you're good to go (for the time being). If it doesn't, call Steve right away--before it rains (even a little) again. He has twenty years of experience servicing huge pumping stations for the city, so he can handle your sump pump situation with the greatest of expertise.
