What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a device installed in your basement or crawl space to prevent flooding by removing water that accumulates in the pit. These pumps activate automatically during heavy rains or when groundwater levels rise, keeping your home dry and protected.

In Kansas City, where heavy rain and snow can saturate the ground with water, a well-maintained sump pump can keep lower levels of your home safe from costly water damage and mold growth.

Sump Pump Installation & Replacement

Sump pumps work by collecting water in a pit and pumping it out and away from your home. They’re typically installed in the lowest part of the basement to capture any water that seeps in.

When installing a sump pump, it’s important to choose the right type of pump for your basement and place it correctly for optimal drainage. At Polestar, our experts handle all aspects of sump pump installation and replacement, making sure the job is done right the first time.

We’ll help you choose the best pump for your needs and install it correctly to protect your home for years to come.

Signs You Need Sump Pump Repair

Regular inspections and prompt repairs can keep your system running smoothly when it’s needed most, so look out for these common signs that you may need sump pump repair:

  • Sump pump won’t turn on: If your sump pump doesn’t activate during a storm, it may have an electrical or mechanical issue.
  • Sump pump frequently trips its circuit breaker: This could indicate an electrical problem that needs professional attention.
  • Sump pump runs continuously: A pump that won’t turn off might have a stuck switch or improper drainage setup.
  • Sump pump vibrates constantly: Excessive vibration can indicate an internal problem or a blockage in the pump.
  • Sump pump makes strange noises: Unusual sounds like grinding or rattling often indicate a worn or damaged motor.
  • Visible rust on the unit: Corrosion can weaken the pump and lead to system failure.
  • No water in the sump pit: If the pump runs but there’s no water to remove, there may be an issue with the drainage system.

If you notice any of these problems, call the team at Polestar right away for sump pump repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

There are two main types of sump pumps: pedestal and submersible. Pedestal pumps sit above the sump pit and are easier to service, while submersible pumps are installed inside the pit, offering quieter operation and better efficiency.

Traditional sump pumps won’t operate during a power outage, but backup options like battery-powered or water-powered pumps can keep your basement safe when the electricity is out.

 

 

To test your sump pump, locate the sump pit and pour a five-gallon bucket of water into it. The pump should activate and remove the water.

If it doesn’t or fails to drain the pit completely, your system may need maintenance or repairs.

I called four companies and Polestar was the only one to let me talk to a person and have someone come out within 24 hours when my A/C unexpectedly went out. The technician, Ian was great!
