A pump is any device that aids in the movement of a fluid. Pumps move fluids down or out of pipes by displacing them. To move fluid, most pumps employ some form of compressional action. Naturally, these parts will wear out and break over time.

Where is a Pumping System Used?
A sump pump is typically installed in your home’s basement and is used to pump water out of your home and into another location, such as a storm drain. Although sump pumps do sit above your sump basin, they are often positioned beneath the floor of your basement. Sump pumps are very useful for people who live in flood-prone areas or in rainy locations. However, before deciding whether or not you need a basement sump pump, you should find out what type of sump pump is installed in your home and how much rainfall your town or city receives to see if you’re prone to flooding.
Signs That You Need Pumping Services
Because there are so many various types of sump pumps, always refer to your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommendations on normal maintenance and servicing schedules. On most sump pumps, the following maintenance frequency is commonly recommended:
Monthly
If your sump pump removes water from a washing machine, you may need to clean the pump on a monthly basis. It’s also recommended that the pump be unplugged before cleaning and that it is plugged back in afterward.
Quarterly
If your sump pump does not dispose of washing machine water, you should clean the pump once every three to four months.
Annually
Your sump pump should be deep cleaned at least once a year. You can do this by removing the sump pump and thoroughly cleaning both the pump and the pit.
A professional inspection of your sump pump once a year will help ensure your pump is working correctly and extend its lifespan. Leto Plumbing & Heating can handle any sump pump inspections and repairs for your home or business in Plainfield, IL.
