Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Repair

  • Noise : A noisy sump pump is usually caused by a jam or buildup in the drain lines. This, in turn, causes the motor to strain, resulting in additional wear and potential breakdowns.
  • Odor : Foul smells or excess humidity around the sump pump pit indicate the pump is not working properly, or has been installed incorrectly.
  • Cycling problems: A sump pump should cycle on and off only when necessary. Changes in the frequency of cycling could be seasonal but could also indicate a problem. A sump pump should not run continuously — if yours does, the problem could be with the discharge line, motor regulator or other components.
  • Rising water : A sump pump is designed to prevent water from flooding your basement, so if you notice water levels rising without the pump taking action, immediate attention is required!

What to Do if Your Sump Pump Stops Working

If your sump pump stops working, your first step should be to move all electrical or perishable items out of harm’s way. Next, check the pump’s electrical system — make sure the unit hasn’t been accidentally unplugged. Try pressing your pump’s reset button if it has one. Also check to see if your home’s circuit breaker or fuse system has tripped or blown. You can also visually inspect the pump and piping system for any signs of clogging that may be preventing the pit from draining. If these steps don’t correct the problem, call Mr. Rooter Plumbing for immediate attention.
