Common Sump Pump Problems

The most common sump pump problem is not having a battery backup. Other concerns with sump pumps include:

• Sump pumps must be the correct size to handle the amount of water at any given time.
• Pumps with a low flow rate may become overwhelmed during heavy rains, leading to flooding.
• Pumps that sit idle for long periods may fail to operate, and you may not realize it until you’re dealing with water in the basement.

Why You Need a Sump Pump

Not certain if you need a sump pump set up at your property? These systems are often installed in homes with basements and crawlspaces. As water enters the footing of a home, it is directed via French drains or a incline to a sump pump pit. When the water reaches a certain level in the pit, a pump will engage, remove the water, and drain it to an area far from the home.

Many homes have sump pumps solely as a preventive measure against heavy rains or flooding. Others have them installed because the groundwater levels are high, and groundwater often affects the basement or crawl space.

Cracks in your home’s foundation can be challenging to detect. If you suspect you have a leak, call our experts to learn about our slab leak repair services.

Types of Sump Pumps

When selecting a sump pump, you can choose between a above-ground or a submersible unit.

Pedestal Pumps: These units have the motor located on a raised pedestal. They are turned on when water raises a balloon or float switch. They cannot be completely submerged in water and usually operate at a slower rate, making them a suitable option for homes using a sump pump only as a preventive measure.

Submersible Units: These systems typically remove water at a faster speed per minute, and they can be submerged in water with no issues. They are the preferred option for homes that experience water intrusion in the crawlspace because they are more resilient and will last longer.
