Common Pumps Problems

View All →

Sump Pump Won't Turn On

Basement flooding emergency waiting to happen. Usually electrical (tripped breaker, unplugged cord, GFCI), mechanical (stuck float), or burned-out motor. Diagnosing takes minutes and prevents thousands in water damage.

Sump Pump Runs Constantly

Runs non-stop or cycles every few minutes? Will burn out prematurely. Stuck float, missing check valve, undersized pump, or high water table. Each has a different fix.

Noisy Pump Operation

Grinding means worn bearings. Rattling means debris or loose hardware. Banging means check valve slam. Each sound points to a different fix. Address it before a minor noise becomes a complete pump failure.
