Are you a homeowner or property owner in Pittsburgh? This article might help you save thousands of dollars in water damages. According to the American Society of Home Inspectors, below-ground wetness affects more than 60 percent of American homes. If you want to protect yourself against a flooded basement and moisture that can damage your property’s foundation, then consider investing in a sump pump installation in Pittsburgh by the experts at Mr. Rooter.
A sump pump is a common fixture that is designed to keep moisture out of a basement or crawl space. They are especially common in low-lying areas that are under the water bed, areas prone to flooding, or areas where snow melts rapidly. In a place like Pittsburgh, you are going to want to make sure that your sump pump is installed and working correctly! Mr. Rooter has the expert plumbers in Pittsburgh to help.
Mr. Rooter is excited to be a leading provider of affordable and reliable sump pump installation services. As mentioned earlier, sump pumps are used to filter out unwanted water and moisture from the lowest levels of your property. A sump pump is generally installed in a sump pit. As the pit fills with water, the pump turns on and drains the water away from your foundation.
There are two main types of sump pumps available: a submersible and the pedestal pump. The difference lies in the pump’s relation to the water. A submersible pump can rest inside the water as it is waterproof. Pedestal pumps look like a stick with a fat head and the pump is held outside of the water. Pedestal pumps are generally less expensive, but also much louder than submersible pumps.
A sump pump keeps your basement healthy and safe by preventing bacteria, mildew, and mold from forming. For the most part, these pumps handle the work on their own and require very little attention and maintenance. However, there will come a time when your sump pump malfunctions and you may need a sump pump repair.
Most sump pumps come with alarms that will alert you if there is something wrong. Still, you should perform manual checks once every several months to ensure that everything is working. Periodically pour a bucket of water into the pit to make sure the pump starts. If it turns out the pump is not working, then call your local plumbers at Mr. Rooter and ask about a sump pump repair in Pittsburgh.
Sump pumps are fairly simple in terms of mechanics and can last a long time on their own, but just like anything, they have a lifespan. A sump pump replacement is generally due once every 10 years but that is just a rule of thumb. Your pump may last longer or shorter depending on how frequently it is used, the quality of the pump, the electrical source, and more. If your sump pump has reached the point of no return, give Mr. Rooter a call and ask about our promotions on a sump pump replacement in Pittsburgh.

Can't say enough about Ron. Knows what he’s doing and does a very good job. He sticks with it until the job is done and you are completely satisfied. I will call on him whenever I need his services again. Mr rooter should be proud to have him as an employee. Keep up the good work Ron. Thanks
Easy to set up same-day service. Our pipes had frozen before and the company that did the pipes had come previously and said there's nothing they can do at the time but that they will gladly take payment for coming over and to call them again next time they freeze. Luckily we did not call the original company again and called Mr. Rooter instead. Brandon came promptly, told us that we have PEX pipe which cannot be heated to thaw but at least will not burst. He pointed out issues with our insulation. There was nothing he could do at the time but we had issues with sewer gas in the basement as well so he diagnosed the issue for us and offered to return to fix it. He did not take any payment from us that day and came back in a couple days to re-do our pipes. He was fast and clean and did a nice job. Would definitely use Mr. Rooter again!
My first point of contact after I set up my appointment was Nicki (Nikki), she was VERY kind and professional on the phone. She provided reassurance in my time of plumbing panic letting me know that everything was going to be fine and she’s here to help! Then Angelo arrived. Prior to his arrival I received texts and live gps to review how far he was I LOVED that! Angelo was SO respect of my house, he was VERY professional, quick and kind. He was upfront about costs and what he would complete for me! Pricing was fair and affordable. I had this SAME problem previously, went to a different company (started with a G and rhymes with peace) and they were “cheaper” but didn’t do the best job. They tried to tell me that to fix it, the price would be 5K - 10K (hard eye roll). Nevertheless, this is an awesome company!! If you found Mr. Rooter, just got with them!! I promise you, you won’t regret it!
