I Have Sump Pump Issues

A failing sump pump can leave your basement vulnerable to flooding and costly water damage when you need protection most.

Understanding Common Sump Pump Problems

Your sump pump system can fail for several reasons, and our experts have seen them all.

Frequent causes include:

  • Clogged or Frozen Discharge Lines: Prevent water from exiting your home, forcing it back into the basement.
  • Stuck Float Switches: Stop the pump from activating when water levels rise.
  • Electrical or Power Failures: Leave your pump inoperable during storms when you need it most.
  • Aging Equipment: Most pumps last only 7–10 years before needing replacement.
  • Improper Installation: Poor sizing, placement, or drainage design reduces system efficiency and reliability.

Ignoring these issues can lead to standing water, mold growth, and foundation damage — problems that worsen and become far more expensive over time.
