5 Signs You Need Sump Pump Repair
It’s important to pay close attention to the operation of your sump pump. The sooner you detect problems and schedule repairs, the less likely you are to suffer extensive damage.
With proper care and maintenance, most pumps will last around 10 years, and promptly addressing these issues is key to getting the most out of the expected lifespan of your unit:
- Continuous operation: If the pump won’t stop running, there may be a problem with the float switch, check valve, switch, or a clogged/blocked discharge pipe.
- Excessive vibration:Â This is typically caused by a problem with the impeller.Â
- Odd noises: Grinding or humming sounds indicate a clogged pump or a motor malfunction.
- Brown water: Brown discharge is often caused by corrosion but may also be caused by excessive bacteria in the water.
- Dry sump pit: If the pit is dry, the cause may be poor installation.

How to Avoid Sump Pump Issues
Preventative maintenance is the best way to protect your home against flooding and water damage. For the best performance, we recommend scheduling annual sump pump maintenance before the fall because most rain tends to fall between October and April.
We recommend testing the pump to determine any potential issues. The unit should also be regularly cleaned and inspected for worn components, including the discharge area.
Our team can perform these tasks and more during an annual inspection and maintenance appointment. We use a wide range of specialized tools and techniques to safely assess the condition of your motor, impeller, discharge lines, and other components.
