Signs You May Need Sump Pump Replacement
Age
The average lifespan of a sump pump is around ten years. Once your sump pump begins approaching ten years of age and experiencing frequent repairs, you will likely need to have Steve’s Plumbing and A/C replace your sump pump with a newer one.
Sump Pump Will Not Run
Any time your sump pump will not turn on and run, unfortunately, you have a major issue on your hands. There are actually a number of reasons that your sump pump may be experiencing power issues including the float switch being stuck or broken, a jammed impeller, a potential loose electrical connection, a burnt motor, or your sump pump has just plain hit the end of its lifespan. Whatever the case, if your pump is older and not running, you may need to think about professional sump pump installation and replacement services from Steve’s Plumbing and A/C.
Contrarily, if your sump pump is always running, and never seems to turn off, this is also an issue. This is normally due to a float switch issue, which will need professional assistance from Steve’s Plumbing and A/C. If your sump pump is not turning on at all or running constantly, repairs can be possible, but you may need to start thinking about replacing the machine completely.
Odd Noises and Vibrations
Any time your sump pump is making loud noises such as grinding, banging, rattling, or vibrating, you are almost guaranteed to have a serious issue. These noises are indicative of a problem with your sump pump and will require a diagnosis from Steve’s Plumbing and A/C in which you may want to consider fully replacing the sump pump all together.
Irregular Cycling
Irregular cycling of your sump pump can occur for a multitude of reasons such as a broken float switch or the float valve being too low. No matter the case, irregular cycling, particularly in conjunction with any of the other listed symptoms, is never a good sign and will need to be addressed by plumbing professionals at Steve’s Plumbing and A/C as soon as possible.
Clogged Pump
Debris can naturally flow and build up in your sump pump, leading to a pretty severe clog over time. Clogs can damage the impeller fan in your sump pump which will detrimentally affect your system. Additionally, the pump line hose can also become clogged with sediment and debris, causing major issues for your sump pump. No matter the issue, you will need to consult with Steve’s Plumbing and A/C about repair and possibly replacement options.
Empty Water Pit
Unfortunately, many homeowners get taken advantage of by inadequate plumbers around the area, leading to incorrect installation of their home’s sump pump system. If there is no water in the pit but your sump pump is still running, your sump pump was likely installed incorrectly and will need to be corrected and potentially even replaced by the plumbing experts that you can trust at Steve’s Plumbing and A/C.
We ensure your new sump pump is fully operational and ready to help you weather any storm.
