Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure

Sump pumps can cease working for a couple of different reasons:

• Power loss
• Irregular maintenance
• Too small of a unit
• Incorrect installation
• Switch problems
• Frosted over or plugged discharge lines
• Age (average life span is 10 years)

Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist

There are a few easy things you can do to ensure 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. Verify the pump is upright and not tipping to one side, since this can cause the pump to not turn on when needed.
4. If it’s been awhile since the pump has run, dump a bucket of water into the pit to check the pump runs and pulls out the water rapidly.
5. During drought-like weather, pull out the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can pull small stones into the grate over time.
6. Confirm the discharge pipe’s vent hole is clear.
