It’s important that your sump pump be working properly at all times, especially when just a little water can cause thousands of dollars in damage
- Make sure it’s plugged in. This may seem like a no-brainer, but we’ve heard many stories about homeowners having trouble with their sump pump when it was simply not plugged in.
- Manually lift the water float to make sure your sump pump kicks on. If it does, you can rest easy so that when water collects, it will be discarded.

Sump Pump FAQs
Do plumbers fix sump pumps?
Yes, plumbers are often trained to repair and replace sump pumps. Sump pumps are a key component of many homes’ plumbing systems, and plumbers have the necessary skills and experience to diagnose and fix problems with these devices. In some cases, a plumber may need to work closely with an electrician to repair or replace a sump pump, as these devices often have electrical components. In general, if you are experiencing issues with your sump pump, it’s best to contact a licensed plumber to assess the problem and recommend a solution.
What’s the most common reason for sump pump failure?
The most common reason for sump pump failure is a lack of maintenance and regular cleaning. Sump pumps are designed to remove water from your home’s foundation, but they can become clogged or damaged over time if they are not regularly maintained. Debris, such as dirt, gravel, and rocks, can accumulate in the sump pump’s basin and prevent the pump from working properly. In addition, the pump’s impeller, which is responsible for moving water out of the basin, can become damaged or stuck if it is not regularly cleaned. To avoid sump pump failure, it’s important to regularly clean the sump pump’s basin and check the impeller for damage. Additionally, a licensed plumber can provide regular maintenance and inspections to help ensure your sump pump is working properly.
What is the average life of a sump pump?
The average lifespan of a sump pump is around eight to 10 years, but this can vary depending on a number of factors. The type of sump pump you have, the quality of the pump, and how well it is maintained can all affect its lifespan. In general, sump pumps that are regularly maintained and not used excessively will last longer than those that are neglected or overworked. To extend the lifespan of your sump pump, it is important to clean the sump pump’s basin regularly and check the impeller for damage. Additionally, a licensed plumber can provide regular maintenance and inspections to help ensure your sump pump is working properly.
What to do if a sump pump stops working?
If your sump pump stops working, the first thing you should do is check the power source to make sure the pump is receiving electricity. If the power is on and the sump pump still isn’t working, you may need to reset the circuit breaker or check the pump’s fuse. If the sump pump still isn’t working, it may be due to a clog in the pump’s basin or a problem with the impeller. In this case, you may be able to clear the clog or remove debris from the impeller to get the sump pump working again. If these steps do not fix the problem, the sump pump may need to be repaired or replaced by a licensed plumber. It is important to address any issues with your sump pump as soon as possible, as a failing sump pump can cause water damage to your home.
