How a Sump Pump Works
A sump pump is installed in the lowest level of your home, usually in the basement or crawlspace. It is installed in a pit, or sump, that is dug in the floor. When water accumulates in the pit, the pump is activated and the water is pumped out of the pit and away from your home. There are two main types of sump pumps: pedestal and submersible. A pedestal pump is installed above the pit, while a submersible pump is installed in the pit.
Signs That You Need Sump Pump Repair in Deerfield
Your sump pump is responsible for keeping your home safe from water damage. However, if your sump pump is not working properly, it will not be able to do its job. It is important to be aware of the signs that your sump pump needs repair so you can get it fixed as soon as possible. The sooner you address the issue, the less likely you will be to experience significant water damage.
You may need to have your sump pump repaired if you notice any of the following:
- Strange noises: If you hear any loud or unusual noises coming from your sump pump, there is likely a problem. The most common noise that a sump pump makes is a humming noise. However, if your sump pump is making a loud noise, it could be a sign that there is a problem with the motor or the impeller.
- Running constantly: If your sump pump is running constantly, there is likely a problem with the float switch. The float switch is responsible for turning the pump on and off as the water level rises and falls. If the float switch is stuck in the on position, your sump pump will run constantly and will not be able to keep up with the water.
- No water in the pit: If you notice that there is no water in your sump pump pit, it could be a sign that your sump pump is not working properly. It is important to check your sump pump regularly to make sure that it is working properly.

“It was a pleasure to meet Jordan. He arrived in time. He is friendly, polite and respectful. He solved my problem quickly and explained my options to me. I highly recommend Jordan and Little Tommy's.”- Deena F.
-
“Always happy with my interactions with Little Tommy's. Highly, highly recommended. One time when my sump pump backup failed, Tommy was able to face-time me on a Sunday to help diagnose the problem. Last week when my Water Heater was leaking, Tommy was able to come out in 30 mins to quote me a replacement and we were back up and running within the next day. Again, they are highly recommended, and would use again!”- Dustin G.

“There is a lot to be said about supporting local folks. And over and above that fact Little Tommy's was OUTSTANDING in all aspects of our encounter. From the friendly young lady on the phone, to the quick response, to Jordan the total professional who accomplished the installation. The price was fair and there was a no nonsense quote. I feel totally confident in recommending Little Tommy's.”- Mike L.

“Jordan did a great job. Our cast iron pipe going out from our house to the sewer line had broken. We had a backup of the sewage water inside our bathroom on the first floor and the basement. Little Tommy’s Plumbing company fixed the issue by removing the part of the cast iron pipe that was broken. It was about 4 feet under the ground and installed a PVC pipe. They also obtained the village permit for this work on an expedited basis. Great company. Reasonable price. Would highly recommend for plumbing repairs.”- Sudhir P.

“Little Tommy's sent Josh to fix my sink. Delightful experience and result. Josh fixed the problem immediately and then imparted very useful advice and pointers to avert plumbing issues. Best company around here.”- Steve O.
-
“Tom from Little Tommy's provided me a thorough and timely quote as I am selling my house. The best thing is that he partnered with a tile and a glass company to provide a comprehensive quote. Great customer service and follow through. I would definitely recommend his service.”- Michael W.
-
“Tyler did a fantastic job! It is such a pleasure to do business with a company who is efficient, fast in an emergency, and is trustworthy. I was left feeling they were completely fair and their service exceeded my expectations!”- Linda S.
-
“They correctly diagnosed and repaired our issue after the first plumber ghosted us and the flooding began again.”- Craig N.
-
“Tom came to my house right away to provide a quote on a somewhat complex basement project. The quote was fair and prompt. The crew was at my house over the course of 3 consecutive days to complete the project, and I could not be happier. Not only did they do a great job (on a not-so-straightforward project), but they were flexible, polite, and patient in working with me to get it done correctly. As a homeowner, it's comforting to have contractors who are willing to explain what they are doing, and they were patient with my naive questions. I would recommend them to anyone and, without question, will be using them for my plumbing needs going forward.”- Tony C.
