The Purpose of Sump Pumps

Rain or natural ground water can enter your home through a perimeter drain. This water can fill a pit in your basement, and your sump pump works to remove water by pumping it out into a dry well or a storm drain.
A sump pump is usually required in homes that have space below ground level, such as a basement or a crawlspace. Without a sump pump, this space typically floods when it rains heavily. Your sump pump can help prevent this flooding by pumping water out before it reaches the top of the sump pit.
Every sump pump eventually fails at some point in its lifetime. For example, if your power goes out, your sump pump won’t work. This is why we recommend having a battery-powered backup sump pump in addition to your primary sump pump. This can help prevent flooding in your home if there is a heavy storm and you lose power.
You can test that your sump pump is working correctly by dumping water in it. You can hear the pump kick on and begin pumping out water. It’s always a good idea to check that your sump pump is working in the spring before the heavy rains to prevent your basement from flooding.

FAQ

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.

What type of sump pump does Hope Plumbing recommend?

Hope Plumbing recommends Zoeller® pumps and battery-powered backup sump pumps. Zoeller® pumps are reliable, affordable, and manufactured in the USA. Each pump is tested by hand to ensure quality.

Can I install a sump pump myself?

While it is possible to install a sump pump yourself, it is recommended to have a professional plumber handle the installation to ensure it is done correctly and efficiently. Improper installation can lead to pump failure and flooding.

When to repair an Indianapolis sump pump?

In Indianapolis, you should consider repairing your sump pump if it’s over 7-10 years old, runs continuously, makes unusual noises, cycles irregularly, shows visible rust, fails to expel water efficiently, or if you notice water flooding in your basement. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to these signs can prevent potential flooding and damage.

When to replace an Indianapolis sump pump?

Consider replacing your sump pump if it’s over 10 years old, experiences frequent malfunctions, runs continuously without expelling water, has undergone multiple repairs, or if newer models offer significantly improved efficiency and features. Upgrading before a major failure can prevent potential basement flooding and costly water damage.
