At Barron, we are committed to serving our customers and future customers with the information they need in order to make informed decisions to maintain and improve their home comfort. 

Our current landscape includes dealing with the ongoing pandemic and subsequent supply chain shortages, in addition to weather events like flooding and temperature extremes. These factors have contributed to our limited capacity, and while we would love to serve each and every person in our community, we’ve made the difficult decision to not take on new customers at this time. This allows us to prioritize our customers with service agreements whom we have already committed to serving.

That said, we want to still help all customers, current, and potential, in whatever ways we can. We want to provide you with useful and seasonably appropriate tips all year, including tips on preparing your home for freezing temperatures. Read on as we address some frequently asked questions regarding this.

Tips on Caring for Your Sump Pump

Chances are, you don’t think a whole lot about your sump pump until you actually need it. And with all the recent flooding we’ve had in the area, there’s a very good chance that many of our customers needed theirs.

Weather is unpredictable. The functionality of your sump pump shouldn’t be, though. While storms can happen at any time, pulse plumbing accidents and mishaps can occur seemingly out of the blue, causing water to gush down into the lower areas of your home, you can prevent damage in many cases. Read on to learn how.
