Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common causes of sump pump failure?
Common causes of sump pump failure include old age (average lifespan is 10 years), power outages, lack of maintenance, incorrect installation, sump pump switch problems, and blocked or frozen discharge lines.
How can I prevent my sump pump from failing?
To prevent sump pump failure, regularly inspect the power cord for damage, ensure the discharge pipe’s vent hole isn’t blocked, use a GFCI outlet to protect against power surges, verify the pump is upright, and periodically test the pump by pouring water into the pit.
How often should I test my sump pump?
It’s recommended to test your sump pump at least once a year, preferably before the heavy rain season. You can do this by pouring a bucket of water into the sump pit and checking if the pump activates and expels the water.
