There are a few measures you can take to determine whether your sump pump is working or not. The first thing to check is that your exterior drain pipe is free of any debris by ensuring that it’s directing water away from your foundation. Next, check the power and see if you can hear the motor running. Lastly, pour a bucket of water into the pit to trigger the pump’s automatic starter which should drain relatively quickly. If the pump won’t start or the pit does not empty, call (631) 802-2344 to have a professional plumber further investigate the problem.
Sump pumps typically fail because they are overworked. If your basement floods for example, a single pump (especially an older one) may become overworked and unable to adequately handle such a high level of water. This is why it is vital to always perform yearly maintenance with our team. Maintenance helps ensure your sump pump remains in pristine condition and is reliable for when you need it most.
The most important thing you can do to make sure your sump pump doesn’t fail is schedule a maintenance visit with our team once a year. Another measure you can take is to schedule a service the moment you notice something is off with your pump. The quicker you repair a sump pump issue, the better.
While there are definitely ways for homeowners to test their sump pumps, it can be quite a complex process and is really best left to trained professionals at Ray The Plumber.
Common reasons for a sump pump to fail include; improper installation, plugging the pump into a low-voltage extension cord, incorrect sizing, or mishandling. When it comes to installing, repairing, and maintaining your sump pump system, it’s always best to leave it to the pros at Ray The Plumber. Our team of plumbing pros are well-versed in a variety of different sump pump models and brands, and will get your pump working effortlessly in no time!
Most sump pumps have an average life expectancy of seven to ten years. If yours is nearing the latter and starting to give you problems, you will likely need a repair at the least or a total replacement at worst. Call our experts to assess your sump pump system and determine an appropriate solution.
If you notice any visible rusting or corrosion on your sump pump, otherwise known as iron bacteria, call (631) 802-2344 as soon as possible to have your pump inspected. Iron bacteria can actually be toxic to humans, so for the health and safety of your family, schedule a prompt repair.
Your sump pump should operate relatively quietly, so if you hear it making unfamiliar, loud noises, your pump is probably experiencing issues. Grinding and rattling noises typically indicate a jammed impeller, which will require a professional repair to fix.
Oftentimes when there is an issue with your sump pump’s float switch, it will cause the system to run constantly. A constantly running pump is a real concern and should be addressed by our professionals as soon as possible.
