Signs

Pump warning signs

A quiet pump is not proof that it will start during the next storm.

  1. The pump has not audibly run in months

  2. It short-cycles, or runs constantly in light rain

  3. The crawlspace or basement smells musty

  4. Your power blinks every storm and there is no backup

Process

Check the system

The pump is only one part of the path.

STEP 01

Inspect the basin

We check water entry, debris, pump condition, float clearance, power, and access.

STEP 02

Test the discharge

The check valve and discharge route must move water away without sending it back.

STEP 03

Run the pump

We cycle the system and verify startup, flow, shutoff, noise, and backup operation.

Diagnosis

Repair or replace?

Test results and storm risk decide.

Switch or pump

A float, power, or check-valve fault differs from a failed or worn pump motor.

Primary or backup

Battery backup matters most where outages arrive with the same storms that raise groundwater.

Pump or drainage

A sound pump cannot fix a blocked, frozen, short, or poorly routed discharge.

Vancouver & Clark County

Plan before rain

Clark County's long wet periods can raise groundwater around crawlspaces and basements. Dry-weather testing finds failures before the pump is carrying its largest load.

True Plumbing is an excellent and fair business. Jason R. Is very skilled and personable. I appreciate his professionalism and confidence. He wants to do things perfectly correct. I recommend Jason, Danny and True Plumbing.

Joseph SligerTrue Plumbing

Everything about working with True Plumbing was top notch, professional, and still human and friendly. Nick came out to consult, and he was both knowledgeable and friendly. Eric showed up on time and ready to rock. He encountered and overcame some unforeseen challenges (behind our walls) without missing a beat. I was wrongly skeptical of a one man show taking on the task, but he got it done and within the time they had quoted. Add to all this, they did it for 20% less than my previous bids. I will definitely be recommending True Plumbing to others.

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.
Why does the pump run constantly?
High groundwater, a stuck float, failed check valve, undersizing, or a discharge returning water can cause constant running.
Is battery backup worth installing?
It can protect the property when storm-related outages stop the primary pump during high groundwater.
When should I replace the sump pump?
Replace a failed, unreliable, badly corroded, noisy, or undersized pump when repair will not restore confidence.
Can a discharge line cause flooding?
Yes. A clog, freeze, break, poor route, or failed check valve can keep water from leaving safely.
Can you install a new sump system?
Yes. The scope can include the basin, pump, check valve, discharge route, power needs, and backup.
Rain season is coming.

Test the pump.

Test the pump and discharge now, then add repair or backup only where the system needs it.
