Signs Indicating Sump Pump Issues
If you don’t know exactly when it’s time to replace your sump pump, check out the top six most common indicators below:
Lifespan & Age Indicators
As much as we’d like them to, your sump pump won’t last forever. After about a decade, be ready for your sump pump to begin demonstrating indicators that it’s nearing the end of life. The longevity of your sump pump will depend on the following factors:
- Construction quality
- Electrical source
- Frequency of use
- Discharge length
If you think your system is about to fail, get in touch with a certified technician for professional advice.
Sump Pit Lacking Water
An badly installed sump pump will usually run 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 technicians will perform an inspection of your sump pump to resolve the issue. Faulty basement drainage won’t effectively send water to the sump pit and may eventually overwhelm your home.
3. Clogged System & Switches
If your pump does not have a lid, it’ll become blocked with contaminants, including dirt and debris. A unit that is constantly clogged will decrease in efficiency and eventually fail to function sooner than it’s supposed to. Early sump pump replacement is often caused by dirty components, debris in your sump pit, or a malfunctioning float switch. To prevent your system from breaking down, invest in a sump pump with a lid or contact a technician to evaluate your unit for repair.
4. Unusual Noises
Although your sump pump will make sound when operating, it should not be anything unusual or alarming. If your system makes clanking, gurgling, or grinding noises, it’s time to get in touch with a professional HVAC technician. These types of sounds usually indicate there is a problem with your sump pump’s motor. Fortunately, your motor can be fixed. To do this, schedule an appointment with a professional plumber.
5. Sump Pump Is Continuously Operating
A sump pump system that is constantly running, no matter the conditions, needs immediate service. Over time, this issue will excessively use your sump pump and eventually reduce your unit’s lifecycle.
The top four reasons your sump pump will be overworked include:
- Incorrectly sized sump pump: 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.
- Missing 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 malfunction and water may backflow instead of dispersing outside your home. Our team offers sump pump repair services and has the tools necessary to replace your check valve.
- Tangled switch: A clogged or tangled float switch will result in a sump pump that is overworked and burns out.
- 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 improve your system. In this situation, it’s best to have a professional assess your property and recommend a lasting fix.
Power Failure in Sump Pump
Your sump may lose power for a variety of factors:
- Blown fuse
- Dead battery
- Loss of electricity
When your sump pump loses power, due to a electrical failure or problem, see if you can restart it. If that doesn’t work, call an HVAC technician or plumber for immediate service.
