Sump Pumps

Here at Active Pump Services, we specialise in sump pump installation, maintenance and repair. Sump pumps are used to protect your property from flooding, and we specialise in both commercial or domestic buildings.

There are three different types of sump pumps. These are:

A lead float is a ball-type float on a cable which rises with the water and lets the pump know when to activate.
A tube float is similar, but a floating ball inside a tube tells the pump when the water is high, letting it know when to begin pumping.
A manual pump is operated manually; you switch it on as and when needed.

The type required will depend on how big the sump is. If you have a tight space, a tube float is offered, as there is no space for a lead float to be free. If you have a larger sump, a lead float may be the better option, as the float has space to rise and fall with the water level. These pumps are often found at the lowest level of a property, garages, lift shafts, and generally, any area that is prone to flooding.

Sump Pump Maintenance and Repairs

In addition to installation, we specialise in maintenance and repairs. We advise all of our clients to schedule regular maintenance visits to ensure that their pumps are well-maintained and ready to work when needed. Once your pump has been installed, it is important to ensure it works well with regular maintenance. The pump is often not needed for months at a time during dry weather – but when things change, we need to be able to rely on it working well right away. There are many reasons a pump may fail, or a pump might not run. There could be a blockage, power failure, or float switch issue. Luckily, Active Pump Services is available for all types of repairs. A sump pump can become blocked in many ways. Dirt and debris can block the area where the pump sits, or the float switch could become blocked or jammed.

We can check and service your pump to ensure it will continue to work efficiently in the long term. Whether we installed your pump ourselves or it is a pre-existing setup, we will be happy to help.
