Sump Pump Replacement in Portland

Sewer Pump Installation & Repair from Dedicated Specialists

If your sewer system relies on any kind of pump system to keep wastewater flowing, eventually you will need to replace your unit. Well-maintained sump pumps can have a lifespan of 8 to 10 years with warranties for around half of their lifespan. However, a pump that gets used heavily or that has suffered some kind of damage may only last 5 years.

If your pumps are coming to the end of their lifespan and require a replacement, our team of Portland drain and sewer specialists can provide fast removal of the old unit and install a new unit in its place. Our sump pump specialists understand that a pump plays a very important role in protecting basements, rooms, and homes from flooding and water damage, so trust our specialists for sump pump replacement or installation.

Schedule service now or Call (207) 495-7793 for sump pump repair or replacement in Portland, Maine.

Signs of a Failing Sump Pump

There are a few symptoms to watch out for if you are concerned about whether your sump pump is still an effective layer of protection against flooding. Obviously, no one wants their sump pump to be unreliable during an emergency. Be on the lookout for these common signs that your sump pump is reaching the end of its life.

  • Loud Noises: If the motor is beginning to whine loudly, this is likely a sign that it will not last much longer.
  • Vibrations: If the unit has a damaged impeller, it will rattle and make loud noises as the fan blades attempt to empty water out of the basin.
  • Clogs & Frozen Lines: Clogged discharge lines can inflict severe damage quickly by overworking the motor and potentially burning it out.
  • Running Sporadically: Something may be wrong with the wiring in your unit if it is turning on and off without clear reasons. This can also indicate that your unit is too weak in terms of horsepower to empty the basin.
  • Unit Is 7 Years or Older: Older sump pumps will begin to work harder to empty the basin until they are running non-stop and the motor burns out.

If you notice any of these signs, give the Zoom Drain of New England team a call. We can perform a thorough inspection to diagnose any issues and, if necessary, provide reliable, effective sump pump replacement in Portland and throughout New England.

Had an issue at one of our rentals. They were on site within an hour on a Saturday and gone in under two hours with the problem solved.
Brandon Fearon
Needed a sump pump replacement, emailed Zoom Drain on Saturday and they came and did the job on Monday. Quick turn around, industry standard pricing but will offer discounts if you add on jobs (added a drain scope). Both jobs together cost $1103, sump comes with two-year service warranty. Joe Gould was the tech and he did a great job - knowledgeable, professional, and quick pump replacement. Also appreciate that this company will text you a photo and the name of your technician so you know who to expect at your door.
