Protect Your Basement From Floods with ARS/Rescue Rooter

It’s easy to take your home’s sump pump for granted. When it’s running properly, you may not give much thought (if any) to this crucial piece of equipment.

Your sump pump removes water — such as from a flooded crawlspace or basement — before it can cause more damage to your home. However, if your sump pump breaks down, you may be in for a rude awakening, especially if you discover the problem just when floodwaters are starting to rise.

Homeowners should arrange for regular sump pump maintenance and repairs in order to get the most value out of the system.

So, if you need sump pump repair service, you’ll be glad to know that the experts at ARS®/Rescue Rooter® Indianapolis are standing by to assist you. We offer battery backup sump pumps, submersible sump pump installation, and even sump pump inspection.

Why It’s Important to Use Professionals for Sump Pump Service

Prudent homeowners recognize the value of professional sump pump service in Indianapolis. Of course, there are some people who want to take care of most, if not all, the chores, maintenance and repairs for their residence.

However, when it comes to protecting your property against flood water, it’s best that you rely on trusted professionals. The team at ARS/Rescue Rooter can help keep your sump pump unit fully operational.

You might be surprised at the volume of calls we get from customers who attempted to get their own backup sump pump installed, maintain or replace a sump pump by themselves, only to run into one problem or another. They often wind up needing to call us for expert sump pump replacement or scheduling sump pump maintenance.

Benefits of Working With ARS/Rescue Rooter

For insight, here are the main reasons it’s best for you to work with our trained Indianapolis plumbers when it comes to your home’s sump pump:

  • Without professionals, you may void the warranty: Often, manufacturers will require a certified, trained HVAC professional — such as the technicians at ARS/Rescue Rooter — to take care of sump pump repairs and installation. Trying to take care of this vital work could mean losing warranty protection.

  • Ward off health problems: Having professionals on the job for sump pump repair can help you avoid common problems that occur if you can’t remove water from your basement or crawlspace. Without our help removing the water, you might experience the growth of mildew and mold, which can cause health issues, give off odors and damage the home.

  • Right tools in place: ARS/Rescue Rooter technicians carry all the right equipment and tools in their service vehicles, so there shouldn’t be any delays during work. Do-it-yourself homeowners typically need to run to the hardware store several times to get some missing tool or piece of gear.

  • Capitalize on our expertise: We hire only the most capable and knowledgeable HVAC technicians to join our service team. Each technician has years of experience dealing with all the leading makes and models of sump pumps on the market. Because of this, we can advise you on maintenance schedules, repair jobs or the most suitable unit when it comes time for replacement.

  • Improved property values: With a fully functioning sump pump or new sump pump, your home could be more attractive to potential buyers when it comes time to put it on the market. A person looking to acquire your home will likely be pleased to see that it includes protection against damage from potential floods when the battery backup sump pump is working.

Unpredictable Weather in Indianapolis Means You Need a Reliable Sump Pump

Residents in Indianapolis need to be prepared to remove unwanted water from their property at any time of the year. It’s particularly important to be aware of precipitation and flooding when it’s rainy in the springtime and during the sudden thunderstorms that summer typically brings.

When It Rains, It Often Pours

You should see the benefits of having professional sump pump installation once you go through the stormy season here in Indianapolis. With rising water from excessive cloudbursts comes the potential for flooding around your property.

That’s why having a sump pump in the crawlspace or basement of your home is essential for quickly removing the water and protecting your dwelling.

Wet Weather Ahead When Summer Arrives

Thunderstorms are more common during the summer season, which spans May through July in Indianapolis. The rainiest days occur in May, on average. Ideally, you should contact our team for service or repairs before the weather grows extreme and more people are calling for help at the same time!

Extreme Cold Also Means You May Need a Sump Pump Ready

The freezing temperatures we experience in Indianapolis during the winter can damage a sump pump. Remember that if any lines in your sump pump system freeze, it can damage the equipment and prevent water from being pumped away from your foundation. Your HVAC technician should remind you that a sump pump should always be kept in a temperate area to avoid subzero temperatures throughout the winter.
