Signs your sump pump needs attention
- Standing water or a musty smell in the crawl space or basement
- The pump runs constantly or cycles on and off every few seconds
- Grinding, rattling or humming without pumping
- Visible rust, or a float switch that sticks
- A pump that is more than seven to ten years old
- No battery backup for a power cut during a storm
How we handle it
Test the system
We check the pump, float, check valve and discharge line, and tell you what is failing.
Repair or replace
Small parts get repaired. Worn-out pumps get replaced with one sized for your pit and water volume.
Add protection
A battery backup or a second pump where the risk justifies it, and a test run before we leave.
