Frequently Asked Questions
The most common reason for sump pump failure is a power outage. When you have bad weather, your sump pump probably kicks into gear. But it can’t work if there’s no power to it. Bad weather often knocks out the power and renders a sump pump useless. The only way to keep this from occurring is to have a backup generator.
Contrary to popular belief, sump pumps need routine maintenance. Most people don’t realize this because they don’t spend much time thinking about their sump pump. You might have it hidden away in your basement and only give thought to your pump when it begins to rain or flood. Unfortunately, this is why your sump pump might fail you.
Approximately every seven to ten years, you should replace your sump pump. You can call a plumber to have them inspect your sump pump and tell you the remaining lifespan of the equipment. However, you should avoid waiting for the pump to fail. The whole point of having a sump pump is to protect against flooding.
