FAQs

Common Questions About Sump Pump Services

How do I test my sump pump?

Remove the pit cover and slowly pour a bucket of water into the pit until the float rises. The pump should switch on, empty the water quickly, and shut off on its own. If it hums without pumping, does not start, or keeps running after the pit is empty, something needs attention. Testing before spring storm season is a smart habit for any basement.

How long does a sump pump typically last?

Many sump pumps last around 7 to 10 years, though pumps that run often during wet seasons can wear out sooner. Signs it is reaching the end include loud grinding, frequent cycling, visible rust, or slow water removal. Homes in low areas around St. Louis that see heavy rain tend to put more strain on their pumps, so regular checks matter more as your pump ages.

Why does my sump pump keep running or cycling on and off?

Constant running often points to a stuck float or switch, a failed check valve that lets water flow back into the pit, or a pump that is too small for the amount of water coming in. Short cycling wears the motor out quickly. We inspect the float, switch, check valve, and discharge line to find the cause and get the pump running normally again.

Where should my sump pump discharge water?

Water should exit well away from your foundation and drain toward a spot where it flows away from the house instead of back toward the basement. A discharge too close to the walls simply sends water back into the soil around your home. Many local codes also prohibit connecting a sump pump to the sanitary sewer. We route and connect discharge lines so water clears your property correctly.

What size sump pump does my home need?

The right size depends on how much water enters your pit, how deep the pit is, and how high the water must be lifted to reach the discharge point. Many homes use a 1/3 or 1/2 horsepower pump, but an undersized pump can fall behind in heavy storms while an oversized one may cycle too often. We size each pump to your basement’s actual conditions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Needed to have the kitchen drain line cleared for the first time after 30 years in the house.  Was able to schedule service promptly, which was handled professionally and competently.  I think the price for the drain cleaning was reasonable, though it is a bit higher than what is seen sometimes in online advertising from other companies.  Have been using plumbing master’s for many years and things are always handled competently by respectful and knowledgeable professionals.
