Sump Pump Repair And Installation In Dayton
Sump pumps are very easy for the average homeowner to overlook because of their location and even their service. As long as you have no water in your basement, you give little thought to the sump pump regularly working to keep your home dry. However, when you see water seeping through the walls or puddling on the floor, you know it is time to call (937) 884-3540 for sump pump repair from the pros at The Right Brothers Plumbing & Drains.
Battery Backup and Pump Sizing
Storms in the Miami Valley have a nasty way of cutting power right when it’s most inconvenient: when you need your sump pump the most. A battery backup keeps it running throughout any outage, and a ton of flooded basements in Dayton we see happen right during that gap. A big factor’s also sizing. We see plenty of homes with a unit too small that it can’t handle a fraction of the water coming in.
If your basement’s low or the water table’s high, the right size beats any fancy brand 100% of the time. The Right Brothers will size your sump pump in Dayton exactly to your home.
Common Sump Pump Issues
Most of our calls for sump pump repairs in Dayton, OH are due to one of the following problems:
- The Pump Motor Is Running But Not Pumping Water: The most common reasons there is no water moving when the pump is running are a clogged intake line or a broken impeller. A less common issue could be a clogged discharge line. But what makes this such a severe problem is that the pump motor can quickly overheat and seize when there is no water flow to cool it.
- The Pump Starts And Stops Very Often: this is a sign that there is a leak in the discharge line. The water is pumped out of the sump hole but flows out the leak or damage in the discharge line only to refill the sump hole. In essence, the same water is being recirculated back against the foundation and returning to the sump hole. This does not damage the pump. In the case of heavy rainfall, the sump pump will not be capable of removing enough water, and your basement will begin to flood.
- A Stuck Float: When the float on a sump pump gets stuck, the pump continues to run indefinitely. But there is no water cycling through the pump to cool the motor. Soon the pump motor will seize and require a replacement sump pump installation.
The most important thing to remember is that most sump pump issues can be repaired when caught early. Create a habit of checking your sump pump regularly and call (937) 884-3540 for cost-effective sump pump repair in Dayton, OH if you discover a problem.

Common Sump Pump Issues
A sump pump is the best way to protect areas of your home sitting below grade from water damage. The sump pump will only operate when excess water has filled a sump hole or collection point. Professional sump pump installation from the team at The Right Brothers Plumbing & Drains is the best way to ensure that when you need it, your sump pump will function reliably and without complications.
Sewage Ejector Pumps
If your home has a bathroom or laundry room located below sewer level, you most likely have a sewage ejector pump. This pump moves the water and waste up to the level of the sewer line leaving your home. The Right Brothers Plumbing & Drains offers fast and affordable sewage ejector pump installation and repair when you have any time-sensitive issues. Call (937) 884-3540 to have one of our licensed plumbers dispatched to your home before you experience a severe backup.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do sump pumps last in Dayton?
7 to 10 years. Of course, it depends on how much your sump pump’s running and how good you are with sump pump maintenance in Dayton. If your pump’s cranking away during rain storms or is dealing with a high water table, it could be as low as 5 years. But if it’s only activating during those heavy seasonal storms, you’re probably getting the upper limit there.
Do I need a battery backup?
Yes. A battery backup is always a good idea, and that’s especially true if you have a finished basement or you’re in an area heavily affected by heavy weather. Unfortunately, when you need your pump most (during heavy rainstorms, thunderstorms, and blizzards) is exactly when they tend to go out. Don’t depend on your sump pump to stay on; invest in a backup battery for your sump pump with The Right Brothers.
My pump runs constantly, is that bad?
Yes, a sump pump that’s always running is a problem you need to deal with ASAP. Beyond just wasting electricity, it wears out your sump pump, overheating and burning out the motor. That’ll leave your home completely unprotected during any flooding. Some common causes are undersized pumps, high water tables, a clogged intake screen, a faulty/missing check valve, or a stuck/jammed float switch. The Right Brothers can take a look at your sump pump and see what’s wrong with it and set it right for you.
