Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure

- No power
- Irregular maintenance
- Wrong unit size
- Incorrect installation
- Switch issues
- Icy or plugged discharge lines
- Age (average expectancy is 10 years)
Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist
There are a few simple things you can do to ensure your sump pump is set up for efficiency.
- Check that the cord is in good shape.
- Plug it into a GFCI outlet in anticipation of power surges.
- Verify the pump is upright and not tilting to one side, since this can trigger the pump to not activate when called for.
- If it’s been awhile since the pump has run, pour a bucket of water into the pit to make sure the pump starts and drains the water efficiently.
- During arid weather, take out the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can pull small stones into the grate over time.
- Make sure the discharge pipe’s vent hole isn’t plugged.
