How do Preventative Pump Maintenance Contracts work?
At Heywood Structural Waterproofing Services, we understand that keeping your pump system in top condition is crucial for preventing flooding, water damage, and ensuring smooth operation. Our preventative maintenance contracts are designed to provide you with peace of mind, knowing that your pump is regularly inspected, serviced, and functioning optimally year-round.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of how our preventative maintenance contracts work and how they ensure your pump operates as required:
Initial Assessment and Setup:
Comprehensive Inspection - When you sign up for a maintenance contract, our first step is a detailed initial assessment of your pump system. We examine the condition of the pump, the connected drainage system, and any related components (such as sump pits, piping, and electrical connections). This inspection helps us create a tailored maintenance plan based on your system's specific needs.
Maintenance Schedule - Based on the initial assessment, we establish a customized maintenance schedule that ensures your pump receives the necessary service throughout the year. For most systems, we recommend annual servicing, but high-use or critical systems may require more frequent check-ups (e.g., bi-annual or quarterly).
Contract Setup - Our contracts are flexible and can be tailored to meet your needs. You can choose from different levels of service, depending on the complexity of your system, how frequently it’s used, and the environment it operates in.
Regular Scheduled Servicing:
Routine Check-Ups - We conduct scheduled visits to service your pump system at regular intervals. These maintenance check-ups are designed to catch potential issues early before they lead to breakdowns or flooding. Our team will remind you ahead of time when a service visit is due.
What We Check During Service:
Pump Performance Testing - We test the pump to ensure it is running efficiently, checking the motor, impeller, and overall output.Electrical Testing: We inspect and test electrical components to ensure all wiring and connections are safe and functioning correctly.
Debris Removal - Sump pits or basins can accumulate dirt, sediment, or debris over time, which can reduce pump efficiency. We clear out any obstructions to keep the pump system clean and operational.
Float Switch Testing - Float switches control the activation of the pump based on water levels. We test these to ensure they trigger at the correct height and are functioning properly.
Back-Up Battery Check (if applicable) - For pumps with backup systems, we ensure the batteries are charged and ready in case of a power outage.
Lubrication of Components - We lubricate moving parts and components that require regular maintenance to ensure smooth operation.Pressure and Flow Testing: For systems that use pressure pumps, we perform flow and pressure testing to confirm optimal performance.
Pressure and Flow Testing - For systems that use pressure pumps, we perform flow and pressure testing to confirm optimal performance.
If we notice any minor issues during the inspection, such as loose fittings, worn parts, or calibration problems, we make repairs or adjustments on the spot to prevent future breakdowns.
Emergency Call-Outs Included:
With our preventative maintenance contracts, you also receive priority access to emergency services in the event of an unexpected pump failure or issue. If a breakdown occurs between scheduled maintenance visits, our team will respond quickly to diagnose and fix the problem.
