Does My Home or Business Need a Sump Pump?
If you aren’t sure if your home or business might benefit from a sump pump, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our experts at Star City Heating & Cooling. In many cases, investing in a sump pump can provide long-term protection from flooding. Our experienced plumbing technicians can evaluate your property, review potential risk factors, and provide personalized guidance.
You should consider installing a sump pump if:
- Your property has experienced flooding in the past. Any level of past flooding demonstrates that your current drainage or waterproofing measures are insufficient for the amount of rain your property receives or the specific conditions around your home or business. Installing a sump pump can offer a proactive and highly effective defense that actively removes accumulating water before it can cause significant damage to your property or belongings or even lead to mold growth and structural issues.
- You notice persistent moisture or musty odors in your basement. These unpleasant smells and signs of moisture are almost always indicators that water is making its way into your basement, even if you can't see obvious pooling or flooding. Musty odors are typically caused by the presence of mold, which thrives in damp, dark environments. When moisture is consistently present, it creates an ideal breeding ground for mold, leading to that distinctive, earthy smell. Dampness on walls, floors, or stored items also confirms that water is seeping in, increasing humidity levels and fostering an unhealthy environment. A sump pump can directly address the root of this problem by collecting and discharging any accumulating groundwater or seepage away from your foundation, helping to keep your basement dry, prevent mold growth, eliminate odors, and protect your home or business's structural integrity.

How Often Does My Sump Pump Need Maintenance?
Every sump pump, no matter how new or modern, needs routine maintenance. Preventative care is key to keeping your basement or crawl space dry and protected.
We generally recommend a professional sump pump inspection and maintenance at least once a year. This annual check-up helps catch potential issues before they lead to breakdowns at the worst possible times.
If your sump pump runs very often – perhaps several times a day or continuously during wetter seasons – it's working harder and experiencing more wear and tear. More frequent cycles mean components like the motor and float switch are under greater stress. In these scenarios, an inspection every six months can help monitor for early signs of fatigue or impending failure.
Similarly, if your sump pit tends to collect a lot of dirt, silt, leaves, or other debris, you should know that this material can easily clog the pump's inlet screen or impeller. A clogged pump has to work much harder, risks overheating, and can fail entirely. If you've observed significant debris in the pit during previous checks, you'll want to increase your cleaning and inspection frequency.
Finally, as your sump pump approaches the end of its typical lifespan (around seven to ten years for many models), it can become more prone to unexpected breakdowns. Increasing maintenance frequency for an older pump can help identify when it’s time to replace failing components or the entire unit before a crucial storm hits.
Sump pump maintenance shouldn’t be stressful. Our team at Star City Heating & Cooling can handle all your maintenance needs and recommend the appropriate inspection schedule based on your property’s needs.
