Reliable Sump Pump Services to Help Protect Your Home
A working sump pump is one of the best ways to help prevent basement flooding and water damage. When heavy rain, groundwater, or drainage issues threaten your home, your sump pump moves water out of the sump pit and safely away from your foundation.
Zeek Plumbing provides professional sump pump installation, repair, replacement, and maintenance in Morris County, NJ, and surrounding areas. Whether your pump is not turning on, running constantly, making noise, or no longer keeping up during storms, our licensed plumbers can inspect the system and recommend the right solution.

Services
A sump pump collects ground water in a sump tank, which is also known as a basin, crock, or pit. When the ground water fills the tank to a certain level, the float travels up a float rod and activates a switch, causing the motor to turn on. The motor then removes the water from the tank and discharges it away from the house.
If you are having trouble with your sump pump give Zeek Plumbing a call for help at 866-635-0200.
Types of Sump Pumps
Submersible -
Battery Backup Sump Pumps
Power outages often happen during heavy storms, exactly when your sump pump is needed most. A battery backup sump pump can offer added protection if your primary pump loses power or fails.
Water-Powered Backup Sump Pumps
For homes with municipal water service, a water-powered backup sump pump may be another option.These systems use water pressure to help remove water when electricity is unavailable.
It is the most common type and the install takes place during home construction. The pump has a cover inside of the tank.
Non-submersible (Pedestal) -
This type consists of a motor and a base. The install of the motor is above the basement floor. The hose connects to the motor and then travels into the sump tank. These types of sump pumps are less expensive and the install can occur at any time.
The sump pump is a reliable and relatively inexpensive way to prevent flooding in your home. Typical sump pumps usually lasts 15-20 years. It is necessary to ensure that the sump pump is functioning properly in order to avoid potential basement flooding.

Sump Pump Maintenance Tips
- Remove the sump pump cover and clear the tank of any mud or stones.
- Flush the system with a hose or bucket of water.
- When activating the pump, it should run smoothly. If not, call Zeek Plumbing to check for worn or damaged parts.
- Inspect the float to see that it travels freely on the float rod.

We recommend performing this maintenance seasonally. If your pump activates on a regular basis, it may be wise to consider a backup.
