February 21st, 2012 | Posted by TimD in pump motor | Sump Pump - (0 Comments)

If you find yourself in a situation where sewage has begun to seep into the basement of your large building or facility creating an unpleasant flood of questionable fluid sewage ejector pumps can really start to look like the pinnacle of modern man’s helpful inventiveness. That thick questionable fluid likely smells and could end up doing major damage to expensive equipment not to mention the walls and floors of your building. On top of that if workers or other people are passing through your building you might find yourself libel for any illnesses they get as a result of the nasty chemicals. As a result you are going to want to get some sewage ejector pumps to work as soon as possible in this place.

There are many ways a sewage system could go wrong. Many of the problems are very easily addressed however you may never notice them until it is far too late. Often the first sign of a problem is a rapid gush of sewage into your building. Taking care of the problem becomes incredibly pressing.

With sewage ejector pumps you can handle the clean-up quickly and begin focusing your attention on the important task of identifying and fixing the problem. This has to be done before anyone continues normal use of the building’s plumbing because any faucet or flush could lead to even more sewage flooding into your building. Addressing the problem quickly is the only answer to resuming normalcy.

If you have the sort of facility where the sump pump gets a lot of use chances are you already know the major problems that tend to necessitate sump pump repair. While most of these machines are heavy duty pieces of equipment built to last for a long time they do take a licking and as a result need some consistent maintenance.

One of the most common forms of sump pump repair is of course on the pressure reducing valves. These pressure reducing valves have a huge purpose for maintaining a safe pressure level even as maintenance workers are attempting to do each job quickly and safely. The experts at NY Pump and Motor are of course well versed in repairing and doing basic maintenance on pressure reducing valves, it is their bread and butter as it were.

Without a sump pump problems in any large facility can quickly get out of hand but without a functional pressure reducing valve the pump itself can get out of hand. There is no better way to handle building wide flooding than getting an effective sump pump. So if your pump is acting up get a trained repair person to look at the pressure reducing valve!

Many large businesses have pushed hard against legislation regulating their emissions and enforcing stricter fuel efficiency. The thinking behind this resistance is that installation and purchasing of new equipment and penalties for non compliance would become a monetary vacuum on the coffers of a business. One that would take an extended period to close up.

One method for fixing a lot of the problems these new regulations hope to address is to employ an industrial heating pump. These units can make your business more energy efficient, reduce your emissions and limit the amount of ground water used for cooling. This third one is significant. Once ground water is used in the cooling process it must be removed and disposed of in a safe way. The process for doing so can become quite expensive for a company and the temptation to cut corners in this area can result in damaged environments, public relations disasters, and heavy duty fines.

Luckily if you choose to utilize a heating pump there is a great place to trust for NY heating pump repair. You never have to be without this important machine again. Pump motor repair is the specialty of New York Pump and Motor and they specialize in servicing large industrial clients.

Back in my youth I, like everyone else around, went to school. Strangely enough I liked school. It was a place to meet friends and show off my understanding of a wide variety of subjects. So I was none to pleased when after some inevitable late August torrential downpours in my area, my school was flooded, pushing the beginning of class back as much as two weeks.

Discovering what a sump pump was made me even madder. From the sound of things these sump pumps were incredibly effective in clearing out water taken on in even large buildings. Had the administrators not known this? Was there something wrong with their existing pumps? Had they not considered sump pump repair or the idea that they might have to replace sump pump? Were my teachers literally trying to dry a whole floor of my school with towels? Did anyone care about education at all anymore?!

Turns out none of this was true. They were pumping as fast as they could but had to replace some furniture and supplies which had been lost. My ire subsided and I managed to enter into school with a comfortable amount of respect for the administrators and educators who had done everything they could to get school back to working order.

NY heating pump repairWhenever I buy electronics from a store I’m always offered extended warranties to purchase. But I’m always so wary to purchase warranties. I tend to take care of my products very well so it always seems like a waste of money. But there are certain items you just shouldn’t risk. For items that I’m going to use daily and I know will take abuse, I want that extended warranty in case anything should happen. Because to fix it will probably cost more than a one year warranty.

The same can be said when it comes to sump pump repair. Household appliances and equipment are going to get heavy usage. You might not think much about a sump pump, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t working hard to remove excess water. With an item like that, you want to have a warranty on the pump, just in case. When you choose NY Pump and Motor, you automatically receive a one year warranty on both parts and labor. How many other sump pump repair experts are going to give you a warranty on the labor as well? Not many, but that’s our guarantee.

At NY Pump and Motor, we know that the customers’ best interests always come first.

Sump Pumps and Sanitary Sewers

December 27th, 2011 | Posted by KristinG in Sump Pump - (0 Comments)

In older times, it was acceptable for sump pumps to be routed into sanitary sewers. This practice was generally used for ease of installation but is now actually illegal! It’s amazing that plumbing laws have changed so greatly in the past several years, but they certainly have.

The problem is that some of the older installations (like many in New York City) have been passed on to new landlords or new owners and been forgotten about. The landlord might know there’s a sump pump in the basement of the school or hotel or apartment complex, but they might have no idea that it could cost them a huge fine for noncompliance!

This is an instance where calling in a sump pump repair company would prove beneficial. Not only can they save you from a potential fine, but it’s also beneficial to the environment to get it rerouted.

The reason that it’s no unlawful for sump pumps to be routed to sanitary sewers is the potential risk of overwhelming the municipal sewage treatment system. If your sump pump is routed to a basement sink, it is likely that it is heading directly toward the sanitary sewer system.

If you find this to be the case, you should call a sump pump repair company immediately to help you change this problem!

Flood Insurance and Your Sump Pump

December 21st, 2011 | Posted by KristinG in Sump Pump - (0 Comments)

If you own a large building like a school or a hotel or even a residential apartment building, you probably have some kind of landlord insurance. If you have this type of insurance you should definitely make sure that your coverage includes flooding.

Floods are becoming more and more prevalent especially with the increasing water height all over the world due to the ongoing climate change. These floods are becoming more frequent also in areas where buildings are set below the water table. This includes an incredibly large percentage of all buildings in New York City and the surrounding areas. This leaves large buildings like apartments, schools, and hotels at greater risk of flooding from ground water. Because of this, flood insurance is definitely a good thing to have!

You need to be sure that your flood insurance still covers you even if you do not have a sump pump repair company look at it on a regular basis. You also need to make sure that you are still covered if your sump pump stops working due to an outage or a malfunction of some kind.

Even if you do have flood insurance, it’s a good idea to have someone come in for routine NY sump pump repair and maintenance every so often to make sure that floods don’t happen in the first place.

Sump Pump Maintenance DIY

December 12th, 2011 | Posted by KristinG in Sump Pump - (0 Comments)

Your sump pump is a piece of home equipment that you really need to keep in working order. You never want that phone call that it’s stopped working and you’ve got a flood on your hands. While sump pumps are generally fairly tricky pieces of equipment there are a few things you can do yourself at home before you need to call in a sump pump repair service. Just a few minutes every few months or so can save you hours of heartache later.

  • Make sure the pump is plugged in. This one is pretty obvious. Make sure it’s in a grounded outlet and the cord isn’t frayed or submerged.
  • Be sure that the pump is standing upright. If it’s tilted it’s possible that the arm that allows the pump to turn on is jammed. All you need to do in this case is right the pump.
  • Remove the pump every once in a great while and clean underneath it. It’s possible that little stones have been sucked into the grate that will prevent proper function.
  • If your outlet pumps are draining less than 30 feet from your home, you might be in for trouble, so check the connectors and the distance from your house.
  • This one might seem silly too, but make sure the drainage pipe isn’t clogged. This can cause water to back up into your home.
  • Every so often, pour a bucket of water into the sump and make sure it drains quickly. If it doesn’t, that’s when it’s time to call in the sump pump repair service!

These tips will help you keep your pump working properly.
