Photo Album: Sump Pump Maintenance, Newbury, MA

This homeowner in Newbury, MA is a member of our Erickson Care Club, annual maintenance program for their waterproofing system. Each year, one of our service technicians will visit the home to inspect the sump pump, the basin, and all the components of the waterproofing system. They will clean the bells and whistles of the system to ensure that sediment is not clogging up any pipes, drains, or parts. For sump pumps not receiving annual maintenance like this one, the possibility of sediment causing damage or clogging is much higher, and puts the home at risk of having a flooded basement. Homeowners that keep up with scheduling their annual maintenance have peace of mind and assurance for keeping their basement warm and dry.

Sediment Build Up in Basin

The sump pump sits on an elevated stand in the sump pump basin. This prevents the pump from sucking up too much sediment and debris that may trickle in through the perimeter drains throughout the year. The stand itself also gets dirty and needs an annual cleaning.

Clean Sump Pump Basin

The benefit of the annual waterproofing system check up is clear. The basin and stand are cleaned, and all sediment is removed. This ensures the system remains operational and free from clogs or back-ups.
