If you’ve been having issues with your existing sump pump, the problem may stretch beyond the pump itself. Your sump crock may be to blame, either due to poor initial selection or simple age.
Fortunately, fixing the problem can be as easy as reaching out to Lagana Plumbing & Heating for your Finger Lakes sump crock installation or replacement. Our team of experienced professionals will get the job done quickly and efficiently.
Also referred to as a sump, basin, or pit, a sump crock is simply the container in which your sump pump sits. These days, it’s typically made of plastic, rubber, or a similar durable substance that won’t erode away over time.
A sump crock is important because it prevents erosion at the edges of the hole in which your sump pump sits. This is vital to the health of your pump because these materials can cause damage or clogs in your sump pump, leading to premature failure and costly replacement.
In many situations, no, you won’t have to, because it may be suggested during a repair or maintenance call. However, if failure of your existing crock or your pump has been damaged, more work may be done to fix the issue.
For the most part, we’ll measure your existing pump or the replacement pump you choose, then find and appropriate sump crock for your needs. Sump crocks are available in both above-ground and in-ground options, depending on your specific situation and needs.
Though the process of getting a new sump crock can seem difficult, it’s easy with the expert plumbers at Lagana. Why not take a few minutes to reach out today to chat with our friendly team?
