When Lindy in Bothell noticed her sump pump running constantly, she called Lighthouse Plumbing. Ryan responded quickly and sent Daniel out to assess the problem. What he found? A pump that needed replacing—and a very tight crawl space to get to it.
The Challenge: A Tight Crawl Space
Not every job is straightforward. Daniel had to navigate a very tight entrance to the crawl space just to reach the sump pump. But that's part of the job, and Daniel handled it without complaint.
Once he determined a new pump was needed, he didn't waste any time. A quick trip to the plumbing supply store, and the new pump was installed in what Lindy described as "rocket time."
The Result: A Happy Homeowner
Here's what Lindy had to say:
"Ryan Garza was so quick in responding to my request to check my constantly running sump pump. He sent out Daniel to assess the problem. Daniel overcame a very tight entrance to my crawl space! When it was determined a new pump was needed, he quickly ran to the plumbing supply store. He had the new one installed in rocket time. It ran beautifully, no mess left in the house despite the mud under the house and he was a joy to interact with. I strongly endorse Lighthouse Plumbing's work ethic and skill. Great experience and I would recommend them to all!"
Why Sump Pumps Matter
A constantly running sump pump isn't just annoying—it's a warning sign. It could mean:
- The pump is failing and working overtime to keep up
- The check valve is broken and water is flowing back into the pit
- The float switch is stuck in the "on" position
- There's an increase in groundwater the pump can't handle
Ignoring the problem can lead to pump burnout, flooding, and water damage to your crawl space or basement. Lindy did the right thing by calling right away.
