Common Sump Pump FAQ
[/custom_accordion_toggle] [custom_accordion_toggle title=”How does a sump pump work?”] A sump pump has a float switch that is activated when the water in the sump pit reaches a certain level. When the float switch is activated, the pump turns on and begins pumping the water out of the pit through a discharge pipe. The water is usually pumped out to a safe location away from the foundation of the house, such as a storm drain or dry well.
[/accordion_toggle] [accordion_toggle title=”How long does a sump pump last?”] The lifespan of a sump pump can vary, but most sump pumps have a lifespan of about 10 to 15 years. Proper maintenance and regular testing can help extend the life of a sump pump.
[/accordion_toggle] [accordion_toggle title=”How often should I test my sump pump?”] It is generally recommended to test your sump pump every three to six months to ensure that it is functioning properly. To test your sump pump, you can pour a bucket of water into the sump pit and verify that the pump turns on and pumps the water out of the pit.
[/accordion_toggle] [accordion_toggle title=”What are some common signs that my sump pump needs to be replaced?”] Some common signs that your sump pump may need to be replaced include: the pump is making strange noises, the pump is not turning on or off as it should, the pump is not pumping water out of the pit efficiently, or the pump is more than 10 years old. If you are experiencing any of these issues with your sump pump, it is a good idea to have a professional inspect it to determine if it needs to be replaced.

[/accordion_toggle] [accordion_toggle title=”What are the different types of sump pumps”] There are several types of sump pumps to choose from, including pedestal sump pumps, submersible sump pumps, and battery-powered sump pumps. Pedestal sump pumps have a motor that sits above the sump pit and are generally less expensive and easier to maintain than submersible pumps. Submersible sump pumps are designed to be fully submerged in the sump pit and are generally more efficient and quieter than pedestal pumps. Battery-powered sump pumps are a good choice for homes that do not have a reliable power source, as they can operate using a battery backup in the event of a power outage.
[/accordion_toggle] [accordion_toggle title=”What are some common causes of sump pump failure?”] Some common causes of sump pump failure include a lack of maintenance, clogs in the discharge pipe, a faulty float switch, and a lack of power. It is important to regularly maintain your sump pump and address any issues as they arise to help prevent failure.
Proper maintenance is key to keeping your sump pump in good working order. Some basic maintenance tasks you can do include:
Testing the pump regularly to ensure it is functioning properly
Keeping the sump pit clean and free of debris
Ensuring that the discharge pipe is clear and in good repair
Checking the float switch for proper operation
Replacing the pump if it is more than 10 years old
