A sump pump removes water that collects in a sump basin, helping prevent flooding and moisture issues in lower areas of the home.
You can test it by carefully adding water to the pit until the float rises and the pump activates. If it does not turn on, runs poorly, or does not remove water, it is time to call.
Constant running can be caused by a stuck float switch, high groundwater, discharge problems, or an undersized pump. We diagnose the cause and recommend the right fix.
Short-cycling is when the pump turns on and off repeatedly in a short time. It can indicate float issues, check valve problems, or improper system setup.
Yes. Regular testing and inspections help prevent failures, especially before storm season or periods of heavy rain.
If the pump is unreliable, noisy, or showing signs of failure, replacement may be the best option. We will help you decide based on condition and performance.
If your lower level is prone to water intrusion, a backup can add peace of mind. We can discuss options based on your home and how critical the system is.
