One of our very own employees needed our assistance when she and her husband woke up in the middle of the night smelling an oil-like odor throughout their home. They discovered that the smell was strongest in the basement and upon entering, quickly realized that it was coming from the main sump pump in the corner.
Our technician arrived the next day and discovered that oil from the pump had leaked into the sump pit, causing the strong smell when the pump turned on to pump away rainwater. The pump had begun to fail and therefore, parts inside of the pump began to do the same. Our technician replaced the pump and installed a new quiet check valve. Within a day, the smell had completely disappeared and the problem was solved.
