How Much Rain do we get Around Here?

Have you thought much about that?  The national average for cities across America is 38 inches per year.  Here in Chattanooga we get about 51 inches of rain per year on average.  Would you have thought that?  What it boils down to is…when it rains at a spirited pace around here can your home’s sump pump handle it?  At All Home Plumbing we want to be sure that it can.

Here are some signs to look for –

1.  Simply old age…they are made to last about a decade

2.  The sump pit has dried up…it may not be properly hooked up

3.  It’s clogged slowing it down or stopping it altogether

4.  It makes a lot more noise than it used to

Now, you may not think that September is the optimum time to replace your home’s sump pump.  Would you rather wait until the spring rains cause damage?  We didn’t think so!  If your sump pump has been cranking along for more than a decade and you live in the Chattanooga area call us at (423) 598-1466.  We are All Home Plumbing.
