Common Sump Pump Problems
These units are vital in protecting your home from water damage and flooding. There are several issues that most commonly affect sump pumps. They include:
- If the unit is rarely used, or only used in emergency situations, it can seize. To check if your unit is seized, try pouring a bucket of water in the tank to activate the pump. If nothing happens, the unit is most likely seized and will require professional service.
- One of the most common problems we see is an incorrectly sized unit. When installing your sump pump it’s important to consider the area and amount of water that needs to be pumped away and decide on a model based on these factors.
- In many cases, a power outage will come hand in hand with rain, snow, or flooding. Make sure your home is protected with a battery backup for your sump pump. These backups will keep you protected even if the power goes out.
Types of Units
There are two main types of sump pumps available to homeowners. Each type has different benefits:
Submersible Unit
- Can be fully submerged in water without damage
- The perfect option for homes that rely on the device to regularly pump water away
Pedestal Pump
- The pump sits on a pedestal above the tank and cannot be submerged in water
- Pumps water at a slower rate per minute, which makes it a good choice for homes that only need a sump pump for prevention
