Signs Indicating Sump Pump Issues

If you don’t know precisely 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 last forever. After about 10 years, expect your sump pump to begin exhibiting symptoms that it’s reaching its expiration. The longevity of your sump pump will depend on the following factors:

• Construction quality
• Electricity source
• Frequency of use
• Length to discharge

If you think your system is on its last legs, contact a plumber 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 correctly attached to the drainage system. We offer reliable sump pump installation and repair services. Our plumbers 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 flood your home.

3. Clogged System & Switches

If your pump does not have a protective cover, it’ll become clogged with contaminants, including dirt and debris. A unit that is regularly clogged will lose effectiveness and eventually fail to function 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 stop your system from malfunctioning, purchase a sump pump with a lid or get in touch with a technician to evaluate your unit for repair.

4. Unusual Noises

Although your sump pump will make a racket when operating, it should not be anything unusual or alarming. If your system makes rattling, gurgling, or grinding noises, it’s time to contact 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.

5. Sump Pump Is Continuously Operating

A sump pump system that keeps running, in any 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:

• Improperly sized unit: 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 rapidly.
• Absence of check valve: In a nutshell, your sump pump’s check valve will make sure water remains outside. If this part is missing, your sump pump will fail and water may backflow instead of draining outside your home. Our team offers sump pump repair services and has the tools necessary to replace your check valve.
• Float switch issue: A clogged or tangled float switch will result in a sump pump that functions improperly and stops working.
• Ongoing flooding: A high water table may cause your sump pump to operate on a ongoing cycle. Without adding a second sump to handle the heavy flow of water, you’ll need to enhance your system. In this situation, it’s best to have a professional evaluate your property and recommend a lasting fix.

Loss of Power in Sump Pump

Your sump may lose power for a variety of factors:

• Circuit failure
• Inoperable battery
• Power outage

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