Noisy sump pump or something worst?...........
Now I know what caused the
rattle sounds when I tested the pump. The submersible sump pump was
discharging Pea Gravel and Soil that accumulated in the pit from the
drain tile. At first glance you might think the sump pit just needs to
be cleaned of the debris. Removing accumulated sediment
is important to extent the life of the pump but the real concern is the
presents of the pea gravel. The gravel is signaling a failed drain tile
that is allowing gravel and soil into the sump pit. Over time the drain
tile may become plugged leading to a wet basement and costly repair. If
your sump pit is filled with gravel and soil contact a licensed
contractor specializing in foundation drainage systems to evaluate and
remedy. Contact me today to schedule your Canton Michigan Home Inspection, Mold and Radon Testing or visit http://InnovativeHomeInspection.com/ .
