6 Signs Your Sump Pump Needs to Be Repaired or Replaced

If you don’t know exactly when it’s time to replace your sump pump, check out the six most common signs below:

Lifespan & Age Indicators

As much as we’d like them to, your sump pump won’t be eternal. After about a decade, be ready for your sump pump to begin exhibiting symptoms that it’s nearing the end of life. The longevity of your sump pump will depend on the following factors:

• Durability
• Electricity source
• How often it’s used
• Length to discharge

If you think your system is nearing the end of its life, reach out to a plumbing expert for professional advice.

2. No Water In Sump Pit

An incorrectly installed sump pump will usually operate when there’s no water in the pit. Or it may not be properly connected to the drainage system. We offer dependable sump pump installation and repair services. Our technicians will perform an inspection of your sump pump to resolve the issue. Malfunctioning basement drainage won’t effectively send water to the sump pit and may eventually submerge your home.

Clogs in System and Switches

If your pump does not have a protective cover, it’ll become clogged with contaminants, including dirt and debris. A unit that is frequently clogged will lose effectiveness and eventually cease to operate sooner than it’s supposed to. Early sump pump replacement is often caused by grimy parts, debris in your sump pit, or a malfunctioning float switch. To prevent your system from failing, purchase a sump pump with a lid or reach out to a technician to evaluate your unit for servicing.

Strange Sounds

Although your sump pump will make noise when operating, it should not be anything irregular or alarming. If your system makes noise, gurgling, or grinding noises, it’s time to get in touch with a professional HVAC technician. These types of sounds usually suggest there is a problem with your sump pump’s motor. Fortunately, your motor can be saved. To do this, set up a visit with a professional plumber.

Sump Pump Runs Continuously

A sump pump system that keeps running, regardless of the weather, needs immediate service. Over time, this issue will excessively use your sump pump and eventually shorten your unit’s lifecycle.

The top four reasons your sump pump will overwork include:

• Incorrect pump size: If your unit is too small for its pit, it will continuously function. On the other hand, if it’s too large, it will cause the pit to fill too quickly.
• Broken check valve: In a nutshell, your sump pump’s check valve will make sure water remains outside. If this part is damaged, your sump pump will not work properly and water may backflow instead of dispersing outside your home. Our team offers sump pump repair services and has the tools necessary to fix your check valve.
• Stuck sump pump switch: A blocked or tangled float switch will result in a sump pump that overworks and burns out.
• Ongoing flooding: A high water table may cause your sump pump to operate on a continuous basis. Without installing a second sump to handle the heavy flow of water, you’ll need to improve your system. In this situation, it’s best to have a professional evaluate your property and recommend a long-term solution.

Loss of Power in Sump Pump

Your sump may lose power for a few reasons:

• Blown fuse
• Dead battery
• No power

When your sump pump loses power, due to a electrical failure or issue, try to reset your system. If that doesn’t work, contact an HVAC technician or plumber for immediate service.
