Sump Pump Replacement Tips
Regular sump pump maintenance ensures it functions effectively and helps prevent basement flooding. Here are some recommendations for sump pump maintenance
Inspect the Float Switch
If your sump pump has a battery backup or secondary pump, test it periodically to ensure it’s ready to take over in case of a primary pump failure.
If your sump pump has a battery backup, replace the battery according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, usually every 2-3 years.
Some sump pump systems have a vent hole in the discharge pipe. Make sure it is clear of any obstructions.
A cover can help prevent debris from falling into the sump pit and reduce the risk of odors.
Sump Pump Battery Backup
When we talk about safety – battery backup comes to our mind! Sump pump is just a motor. How you can prevent the flood from the sump pit in your basement? If in any case, your existing sump pump failed to operate due to a power outage or just a system failure,
There are other alternatives to the problem. There are backup pumps which are battery-powered sump pumps (you will keep the system on around 200min) and water-powered sump pumps (will keep the system on with no limitation on time).
We at ANTA Plumbing strongly recommend to do maintenance to the system every year to clear all debris out of pit, and check the functionality of all parts in a system like check valve (preventive mechanism to keep discharged dirty water not coming back to the pit.
Install battery back up and you will be safe. Just imagine, no electricity or your electric plug stopped working…. Alarm will start make noices to put your attention, and you will never have flood from sump pit (just ground water in that pit from your weeping tile)
Water Powered
Backup
Water powered pumps needs only water to operate and be emergency pump to keep system on in a very rainy days with primary pump worked out.
- primary submersible pump
- secondary emergency pump or battery backup system, or water powered back up system
Helful advise

Ejector pumps serve a crucial role in specific plumbing systems, particularly in properties where fixtures are located below the main sewer or septic line or where the wastewater needs to be pumped against gravity. These pumps are commonly found in basements or below-ground bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms. The primary purpose of an ejector pump is to lift and move wastewater from lower levels to higher ones, ensuring efficient drainage and preventing backups.
