What Are Common Reasons for Sump Pump Failure?

Even the best sump pumps on the market can break eventually. What is important is that you schedule routine maintenance to drastically lower the chances of your sump pump failing, and that you call on us right away if you notice it is not working. Our team of sump pump plumbers in Joliet have the training, tools, and know-how to appropriately address any sump pump failure.

Reasons Why Your Sump Pump Might Be Malfunctioning

Overuse

Each sump pump is rated to handle up to a certain amount of water per hour. If your sump pump has been working nonstop for hours to try to drain the water beneath your home, then it could burn out its own motor.

Dry Use

A sump pump that runs without any water to pump can also cause damage to its own motor, similar to trying to run a car engine without any oil.

Clog

Dirt or debris that gets into a sump pump’s discharge pipe can cause a clog. As the sump pump tries to work against the resistance caused by clog, it can cause stress and a break.

Wear & Tear

As with any mechanical device, general wear and tear experienced by a sump pump can cause a break, especially around the moving parts of the system.

Incorrect Installation

If you let anyone other than Expert Plumbing Service install your sump pump, then it might have been done wrong! An incorrectly installed sump pump can break for any number of reasons.

Can a Sump Pump Be Fixed?

A sump pump can be fixed with proper tools and care. It is important that the fix be completed by someone with experience working on sump pumps because they can get tricky when repairing.

What to Do if Sump Pump Stops Working?

If your sump pump stops working, you should contact a licensed plumber right away. Plumbers are able to quickly identify the reason a sump pump stops working and do the necessary sump pump repair to get it running properly.
