Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure

Sump pumps can stop working for a few different reasons:

• Power loss
• Insufficient maintenance
• Wrong unit size
• Incorrect installation
• Switch issues
• Frozen or plugged discharge lines
• Age (average pump lasts 10 years)

Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist

There are a few quick things you can do to verify your sump pump is primed for efficiency.

1. Check that the cord is in decent shape.
2. Plug it into a GFCI outlet in case of power surges.
3. Confirm the pump is upright and not tilting to one side, since this can trigger the pump to not run when needed.
4. If the pump hasn’t recently run, drop a bucket of water into the pit to make sure the pump starts and pulls out the water efficiently.
5. During dry conditions, pull out the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can draw small stones into the grate over time.
6. Confirm the discharge pipe’s vent hole isn’t plugged.
