Indicators That Your Sump Pump Needs Attention

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

Lifespan & Age Indicators

As much as we’d like them to, your sump pump won’t last forever. After about a decade, expect 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
• Discharge length

If you think your system is nearing the end of its life, get in touch with a certified technician for professional advice.

Sump Pit Lacking Water

An incorrectly installed sump pump will usually run when there’s no water in the pit. Or it may not be adequately linked to the drainage system. We offer dependable sump pump installation and repair services. Our specialists 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 overwhelm your home.

Clogs in System and Switches

If your pump does not have a protective cover, it’ll become obstructed 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 dirty components, debris in your sump pit, or a malfunctioning float switch. To prevent your system from breaking down, purchase a sump pump with a lid or get in touch with a technician to evaluate your unit for replacement.

Unexpected Noises

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

Sump Pump Runs Continuously

A sump pump system that keeps running, no matter the conditions, needs immediate service. Over time, this issue will strain your sump pump and eventually shorten your unit’s lifecycle.

The top four reasons your sump pump will work too hard include:

• Improperly sized unit: If your unit is too small for its pit, it will keep operating. On the other hand, if it’s too large, it will cause the pit to fill too fast.
• Missing check valve: In a nutshell, your sump pump’s check valve will keep 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 jammed or tangled float switch will result in a sump pump that functions improperly and fails.
• Persistent flooding: A high water table may cause your sump pump to operate on a constant schedule. Without putting in 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 suitable remedy.

Power Failure 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 issue, attempt to reboot your system. If that doesn’t work, call an HVAC technician or plumber for immediate service.
