Reasons to Install a Sump Pump

  • A sump pump actively removes extra water that collects in basements or crawl spaces during storms, snowmelt, or plumbing leaks, keeping these areas dry and protecting property from water damage.

  • By relieving hydrostatic pressure and redirecting water away from the foundation, a sump pump helps prevent cracks, shifting, and long-term structural damage.

  • Maintaining a dry basement with a sump pump prevents damp conditions that promote mold, mildew, and fungi, thereby safeguarding both the home’s structure and the health of its occupants.

  • Basement appliances, such as washers, dryers, and water heaters, as well as stored items, are vulnerable to water damage—a sump pump helps protect these investments from corrosion and electrical failure.

  • Homes with sump pumps are more attractive to buyers and may qualify for lower homeowner’s insurance premiums due to reduced flood risk.

  • By decreasing humidity and preventing musty odors, a sump pump improves the general air quality and comfort of living spaces, especially in finished or frequently used basements.

Common Sump Pump Issues that Require Professional Repair

  • Pump not turning on

    A sump pump that fails to activate may have electrical issues, float switch problems, or mechanical failures needing professional attention. Common causes include tripped breakers, damaged wiring, or moisture-affected electrical connections. Float switches can become jammed by debris or suffer mechanical wear. Our technicians inspect power supply, switches, and internal components to pinpoint the cause. We also inspect related components, such as check valves and discharge lines, to identify and resolve contributing issues and restore consistent pump function.

  • Strange noises

    Unusual sump pump noises often result from mechanical wear, loose parts, or debris inside the system. Grinding may indicate worn bearings or impeller damage from dry operation or contaminated water. Rattling could indicate loose hardware or foreign objects interfering with the pump's function. Our repair services include complete disassembly, part inspection, debris removal, and component replacement. We also assess mounting and installation to correct vibration issues that amplify noise throughout the basement structure.

  • Clogging

    Debris buildup can block sump pump intakes, jam impellers, and reduce discharge efficiency. Common culprits include silt, sand, leaves, and organic matter entering through foundation drains or runoff. These blockages strain pump motors and hinder performance. Our team cleans sump systems, removes obstructions, and inspects components for damage. Protective solutions such as pit covers and intake screens are also available to help reduce future clogs and maintain reliable pump performance.

  • Continuous running

    Constant pump operation often signals undersized equipment, check valve failure, or excess water infiltration. Faulty valves may allow backflow, creating a nonstop cycle that stresses the motor and wastes energy. High inflow rates can overwhelm pumps lacking sufficient capacity. We diagnose whether the issue involves equipment limits, mechanical faults, or drainage system problems and offer solutions such as valve repair, pump upgrades, or system redesigns to support proper cycling.

  • Overwhelmed pump

    A sump pump that is unable to manage heavy water volumes during storms may require a capacity upgrade, a backup installation, or drainage improvements. Single pumps often fail when rainfall exceeds their capacity. Failures or outages during severe weather increase the risk of basement flooding. Our team provides capacity evaluations, adds backup systems with battery power, and recommends drainage enhancements to support sump pump performance during extreme conditions and high inflow events.
