Common Issues
Common Sump Pump Problems
Pump Won't Turn On
A stuck float switch or a tripped breaker are common, often simple, causes.
Pump Runs Constantly
This can mean the pump is undersized for the amount of water coming in, or the check valve has failed.
Frequent Power Outages During Storms
The exact time your pump is needed most is often when the power goes out, which is why a battery backup matters.
Clogged Discharge Line
Debris or freezing in the discharge line can stop water from actually leaving the house.
Aging Pump
Most sump pumps last 7 to 10 years, and older units are more likely to fail during a major storm.
Loud or Unusual Noises
Grinding or rattling sounds can indicate a failing motor or debris caught in the pump.

Prevention
Maintenance Tips to Avoid Bigger Problems
Test It Before Storm Season
Pour a bucket of water into the sump pit to confirm the pump activates and drains properly.
Install a Battery Backup
This keeps your basement protected even if the power goes out during a storm.
Keep the Pit Clear of Debris
Dirt and debris in the sump pit can clog the pump's intake screen.
Schedule Annual Service
A yearly check catches a failing pump before it fails when you need it most.
