Common Sump Pump Issues and How We Resolve Them
Your sump pump works hard to protect your home from water damage and flooding, especially during heavy rains or when groundwater levels rise. But like any piece of equipment, it’s not immune to problems.
Whatever issue arises for you, reach out to our office ASAP. These are how our technicians address some of the most common challenges:
Power Failures During Storms
Since sump pumps run on electricity, power outages during a storm can leave your basement vulnerable to flooding. We can resolve this issue by installing battery backup systems that keep your sump pump operating in adverse conditions.
Clogged Discharge Lines
A blocked discharge line prevents water from exiting properly, leading to backups and potential water damage. Our team clears clogs quickly and adds protective measures like discharge line covers or ice guards to prevent future obstructions.
Pump Running Nonstop
If your sump pump runs continuously, it might be caused by a stuck float switch, improper installation, or an undersized unit. We inspect your pump to pinpoint the issue, repair faulty components, and recommend the right pump size for your home’s needs if a replacement is necessary.
Intermittent Pump Cycling
A sump pump that turns on and off frequently may be due to poorly placed float switches or an improperly draining pit. Our pros can adjust float switches and check the pit design to make sure your pump runs efficiently.
Failure to Activate
Electrical issues, a broken motor, or a faulty switch can cause your pump to not turn on when water fills the basin. We test the electrical connections, replace damaged parts, and work to get your system back to responding promptly during high water levels.
Alarming Noises from the Pump
Loud, unusual noises such as grinding or rattling often suggest worn-out motor components or debris caught in the impeller. We can thoroughly inspect the pump, clear debris, and repair or replace internal parts to restore quiet, smooth operation.
