You may find that your sump pump won’t turn on. First, check to see if there are issues with either the float switch or discharge pipe. Problems in these areas can trip the system and not let it run. If you rule those issues out, it’s likely a power problem. Check the outlet and the circuit breaker. If the breaker has tripped, reset it once. An isolated trip usually isn’t cause for concern. If it trips again, it’s time for sump pump repair. It can indicate a pump fault or a problem with the outlet or other electrical components.
As a full-service plumbing contractor, we offer a range of services, including:
During heavy rainfall, the typical residential sump pump should cycle every two to three minutes. If it cycles for extended periods, it likely means that the pit isn’t emptying efficiently. There could be debris within the pit itself. It could also suggest damage to the float switch or buildup with the drainage pipe. If you experience regular issues with the drainage pipe, it may be necessary to install grates or replace them.
Modern sump pumps are relatively quiet. In most cases, all you should hear is a low, continuous hum. Any other noise, even if it’s low, can indicate you need a pump repair. This includes any clicking or grinding noises. If the noises are loud, it could mean failure is imminent. You may also notice that the pump is vibrating excessively.
Be sure to test your backup pump regularly. Otherwise, you won’t know there’s a problem until the power goes out. Monitor the battery levels, and replace your battery regularly. Ensure the pump turns on. Contact us if it doesn’t or if there are any odd behaviors.
