FAQs

Sump pump questions

How can I test my sump pump?

Lift the float or add water to the basin. The pump should start, move the water, and stop without chatter.

Can a discharge line cause flooding?

Yes. A clog, freeze, break, poor route, or failed check valve can keep water from leaving safely.

When should I replace the sump pump?

Replace a failed, unreliable, badly corroded, noisy, or undersized pump when repair will not restore confidence.

Repair or replace?

Test results and storm risk decide.

Is battery backup worth installing?

It can protect the property when storm-related outages stop the primary pump during high groundwater.

Can you install a new sump system?

Yes. The scope can include the basin, pump, check valve, discharge route, power needs, and backup.

Why does the pump run constantly?

High groundwater, a stuck float, failed check valve, undersizing, or a discharge returning water can cause constant running.
