Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure
Sump pumps can stop running for a few different reasons:
- Power loss
- Lack of maintenance
- Too small of a unit
- Incorrect installation
- Switch trouble
- Icy or clogged discharge lines
- Age (average pump lasts 10 years)
Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist
There are a few quick things you can do to verify your sump pump is prepared for efficiency.
- Check that the cord is in decent shape.
- Plug it into a GFCI outlet in case of power surges.
- Confirm the pump is straight and not tilting to one side, since this can lead the pump to not run when required.
- If the pump hasn’t been on recently, pour a bucket of water into the pit to make sure the pump turns on and drains the water quickly.
- During dry weather, remove the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can pull small stones into the grate over time.
- Check the discharge pipe’s vent hole is clear.
