Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure
Sump pumps can cease working for several different reasons:
- No power
- Insufficient maintenance
- Wrong unit size
- Incorrect installation
- Switch trouble
- Frosted over or blocked discharge lines
- Age (average expectancy is 10 years)
Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist
There are a few easy things you can do to verify your sump pump is primed for efficiency.
- Make sure the cord is in decent shape.
- Plug it into a GFCI outlet in the event of power surges.
- Confirm the pump is vertical and not tipping to one side, since this can lead the pump to not run when needed.
- If it’s been awhile since the pump has run, pour a bucket of water into the pit to verify the pump turns on and removes the water efficiently.
- During arid forecasts, remove the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can get small stones in the grate over time.
- Check the discharge pipe’s vent hole is clear.
