Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most common questions about our services. If you don't see your answer here, feel free to call us.
01. What does a sump pump do?
A sump pump sits in a pit in your basement floor and collects the groundwater that builds up around your foundation. When the water in the pit rises, the pump switches on automatically and pushes the water out through a discharge line, away from your home — before it can flood your basement.
02. How do I know if my home needs a sump pump?
Common signs are water seeping into the basement after heavy rain or snowmelt, damp walls or a musty smell downstairs, and cracks in the foundation. Homes in low-lying areas or with a high water table are at the most risk. We can inspect your basement and tell you honestly whether a pump is needed — the estimate is free.
03. How long does a sump pump last?
Most sump pumps last about 7 to 10 years with normal use. Because a pump usually fails during a storm — exactly when you need it most — we recommend replacing an aging pump before it quits, not after your basement floods.
04. What is a battery backup sump pump, and do I need one?
A battery backup is a second pump that runs on battery power when the electricity goes out or the main pump fails. Storms that knock out power are the same storms that fill your sump pit, so for finished basements a backup system is cheap insurance against major water damage.
05. How often should a sump pump be checked?
Test your pump every few months: pour a bucket of water into the pit and make sure it switches on, drains the water, and shuts off. We also recommend a full check once a year — float switch, check valve, and the discharge line — ideally before Denver's spring snowmelt and rainy season.
06. How much does sump pump installation cost?
The price depends on whether a pit needs to be dug, how the discharge line is routed, and whether you add a battery backup. Speed Plumbing provides an estimate with a written price before work begins. Call (720) 670-6361 to discuss your installation.
