Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure

- Insufficient maintenance
- Wrong unit size
- Incorrect installation
- Switch trouble
- Frozen or blocked discharge lines
- Age (average life span is 10 years)
Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist
There are a few easy things you can do to verify your sump pump is set up for efficiency.
- Make sure the cord is in decent shape.
- Plug it into a GFCI outlet in anticipation of power surges.
- Verify the pump is straight and not leaning to one side, since this can lead the pump to not activate when needed.
- If it’s been awhile since the pump has run, pour a bucket of water into the pit to make sure the pump turns on and drains the water efficiently.
- During dry weather, pull out the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can draw small stones into the grate over time.
- Check the discharge pipe’s vent hole isn’t plugged.
