In July of 2004, I had a new immersible sump pump installed with hydromatic check valve. That's what the receipt says anyway!
From the beginning, the sump pump would make a loud banging noise after the sump pump ran and discharged the water to the outside. The day before yesterday, it just stopped making the banging noise. The pump seems to still be working. Is the pump getting ready to die? Does this mean the valve isn't working? Should I call a plumber?
It's getting to rain for the next 5-7 days here in Chicago and I'd like to call a plumber today to avoid weekend rates if I can. Hubby and I are NOT handy beyond the very, very basic.
Any and all advice would be appreciated.
