Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure

Sump pumps can quit running for a couple of different reasons:

• No power
• Lack of maintenance
• Wrong unit size
• Incorrect installation
• Switch issues
• Frozen or plugged discharge lines
• Age (average expectancy is 10 years)

Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist

There are a few simple things you can do to make sure your sump pump is primed for efficiency.

1. Ensure the cord is in acceptable shape.
2. Plug it into a GFCI outlet in case of power surges.
3. Ensure the pump is vertical and not tilting to one side, since this can trigger the pump to not activate when called for.
4. If it’s been awhile since the pump has run, pour a bucket of water into the pit to make sure the pump turns on and pulls out the water rapidly.
5. During dry weather, pull out the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can get small stones in the grate over time.
6. Confirm the discharge pipe’s vent hole is free of obstructions.
