Frequently Asked Questions About Sump Pump Repairs

What should I do if my sump pump stops working?

If your sump pump stops working, follow these steps:

• Check the Power Source: Ensure it's plugged in and inspect for tripped breakers or blown fuses.
• Inspect the Float Switch: Make sure it's debris-free and test it by gently lifting the float.
• Clear Clogs: Check and clean the intake and discharge pipes for blockages.
• Test the Outlet: Plug another device into the same outlet to confirm it works.
• GFCI Outlet: If applicable, check and reset the GFCI outlet.
• Verify the Check Valve: Ensure it's installed correctly and undamaged.
• Manual Test: If available, use the manual override switch. Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of The Oakland-Berkeley Area for professional assistance if these steps don't work. Sump pump issues can lead to basement water damage, so prompt action is crucial.

What is the most common reason for sump pump failure?

The most common cause is age. Older pumps wear out over time, leading to mechanical or electrical problems. Newer units can also fail due to installation issues or lack of maintenance. If you notice problems, like frequent running, contact a professional to diagnose and fix any potential issues.

How often should a sump pump be replaced?

The replacement frequency depends on factors like age, usage, and condition. Generally, if your pump is over ten years old or showing signs of wear, consider upgrading or replacing it. If your basement often floods, don't wait for costly water damage repairs—replace the pump sooner.
