Most slab homes never need a pump. But no basement doesn't always mean no water problem. Water can pool in the crawl space under an older home. It can also sit against the foundation for days after a storm. Either one can lead to musty smells, damp floors, and foundation stress.

We tell you first whether your home needs a pump at all. If it does, we install it or repair it so it runs when the rain comes. See how our sump pump installation and repair in Fort Worth, TX keeps water away from your home. Call Berkeys Today to have your crawl space or yard checked.

Many don't, but some do. Follow these steps to check your home:

1. Check your foundation type: slab or pier-and-beam.

2. Look in the crawl space after rain for standing water.

3. Check for any below-grade room, like a cellar or storm shelter.

4. Walk the yard after a storm and note any water pooling against the house.

5. Check for musty smells or damp floors.

6. If none of these apply, you likely don't need a pump. If any do, call a plumber to check.

You may smell a musty odor under the floor of your Mistletoe Heights home after a heavy rain. That smell often means water is pooling in the crawl space below.

We check the crawl space for standing water first. If water collects there, we set a pump pit at the lowest point. The pump moves the water out before it can soak the wood and soil under your home.

Many older Fort Worth homes sit on pier-and-beam foundations with open crawl spaces. Unlike a slab, that space can hold water after every storm.

Your Fort Worth home may sit on a slab, and you're wondering if a pump is worth it. For most slab homes, the answer is no.

We check your gutters, grading, and drainage first. Fixing one of those often solves the water problem without a pump. A pump helps when:

• You have a below-grade room, like a cellar or storm shelter

• Water sits against the foundation for days after rain

Fort Worth clay swells when it gets wet and shrinks as it dries. That cycle can stress your foundation, so water that won't drain away deserves attention.

You may hear your sump pump still running long after the rain has stopped in Fort Worth. That's one sign the pump needs a closer look. Watch for these others too:

• Humming, but no water moving out

• Running nonstop, or cycling on and off fast

• No sound at all during a storm

• Rust or a bad smell in the pit

Long dry spells are common here. When a pump sits unused for weeks, parts can stick and fail when the next storm hits.

Your Fort Worth family wants the right fix, not the most expensive one. We find the cause first, then tell you which way to go.

• Repair: A stuck float switch, a bad check valve, or a clogged intake.

• Replace: A burned-out motor, a cracked housing, or a pump too small for the water it handles.

We repair the pumps already in your home whenever repair will hold. While we're there, we also check the pit and the wiring.
