Water Well Pumps:

Water well pumps are essential for bringing water from underground sources to the surface for various uses, such as drinking, irrigation and industrial processes. These pumps are typically installed in wells that are drilled or dug into the ground to access groundwater.


There are different types of water well pumps available, each with its own advantages and limitations. One common type of water well pump is the submersible pump, which is placed inside the well and is submerged in the water. Submersible pumps are known for their efficiency and ability to pump water from greater depths compared to other types of pumps. They are also quieter and require less maintenance since they are protected from the elements.


Another type of water well pump is the jet pump, which is installed above ground and uses suction to draw water from the well. Jet pumps are typically used in shallow wells and are less expensive than submersible pumps. However, they are not as efficient and may require more maintenance over time.


When choosing a water well pump, it is important to consider factors such as the depth of the well, the amount of water needed and the power source available. It is also important to ensure that the pump is properly sized to meet the water demands of the household or property.


Regular maintenance of water well pumps is essential to ensure their proper functioning and longevity. This includes inspecting the pump and well system for any signs of damage or wear, checking the pressure and flow rates, and replacing any worn-out parts as needed.


Water well pumps play an important role in accessing groundwater for various purposes. Submersible pumps are efficient and reliable for deeper wells, while jet pumps are more cost-effective for shallow wells. Proper maintenance and sizing of the pump are essential to ensure a continuous and reliable water supply.


If you are in need of a water well pump, we recommended consulting with a professional from Vince's Drain Cleaning & Plumbing to determine the best option for your specific needs.

Sump Pumps

Sump pumps are a necessary part of many homes, particularly those in areas prone to flooding or with high water tables. These pumps are installed in a pit or sump basin in the basement or crawlspace of a building to help prevent water damage by removing excess water that accumulates due to heavy rains, melting snow or rising groundwater levels.

There are two main types of sump pumps: submersible and pedestal.

Submersible sump pumps are placed directly in the sump pit and are designed to be submerged in water. They are typically more efficient, quieter and more discreet than pedestal pumps.

Pedestal sump pumps, on the other hand, have a motor mounted above the sump pit and are ideal for smaller spaces. While pedestal pumps may be louder and less aesthetically pleasing, they are often more affordable and easier to maintain.

Sump pumps are typically activated by a float switch that detects the water level in the sump pit. When the water reaches a certain level, the pump is automatically turned on to pump the water out of the pit and away from the building through a discharge pipe. It is important to ensure that the discharge pipe is directed away from the foundation of the building to prevent water from seeping back into the basement.

Regular maintenance of sump pumps is crucial to ensure their proper functioning when needed. This includes checking the pump regularly for any signs of damage, testing the float switch, cleaning the sump pit of debris and ensuring that the pump is connected to a power source that is not susceptible to outages during storms.

Sump pumps are vital for protecting homes and buildings from water damage caused by flooding and high water levels. Submersible and pedestal sump pumps offer different advantages and are suitable for different spaces. Proper maintenance and regular testing of sump pumps are essential to ensure they are ready to perform when needed.

If you are considering installing a sump pump in your home, we recommend that you give us a call to determine the best type and size for your specific needs.

Common Pump Questions

See some common questions and answers below, or call us at (440) 392-4529

  • What is the purpose of a sump pump?

    A sump pump is used to remove excess water that accumulates in a sump pit or basin, typically located in a basement or crawlspace. It helps prevent water damage caused by flooding, heavy rains, or rising groundwater levels.


  • How often should I test my sump pump?

    It is recommended to test your sump pump at least once a year, ideally before the rainy season or when heavy snowmelt is expected. Regular testing ensures that the pump is functioning properly and ready to operate when needed.

  • If I need a sump pump for my home, what size should I get?

    The size of the sump pump you need depends on factors such as the size of your basement, the water table in your area and the amount of water that needs to be pumped out. It is best to consult with a professional to determine the appropriate size for your specific needs.

  • Can a sump pump handle sewage or wastewater?

    No, sump pumps are designed specifically to handle clean water or water with minimal debris. They are not suitable for pumping sewage or wastewater, as this can damage the pump and pose health risks.


  • How long do sump pumps typically last?

    The lifespan of a sump pump can vary depending on factors such as usage, maintenance and quality of the pump. On average, a sump pump can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. Regular maintenance and proper care can help extend the life of the pump.

  • What the differences between a shallow well and a deep well pump?

    Shallow well pumps are designed to draw water from wells that are less than 25 feet deep, while deep well pumps are used for wells that exceed 25 feet in depth. Deep well pumps are typically submersible and have the ability to pump water from greater depths.

  • How often should I service my well water pump?

    It is recommended to have your well water pump serviced by a professional at least once a year. Regular maintenance can help identify any issues early on and ensure that the pump is operating efficiently.

  • What are the signs that my well pump needs to be replaced?

    Common signs that indicate your well water pump may need to be replaced include reduced water pressure, frequent cycling on and off, strange noises coming from the pump and an increase in energy consumption. If you notice any of these signs, it is best to have the pump inspected by a professional.
