In this article, we’ll go over a few ways to tell if you need sump pump repair services.
- Strange Sounds – Whenever a plumbing fixture (or any other mechanism) starts making unusual sounds, it’s a sign something is wrong. When your sump pump is working properly, the only sound it makes should be a low, continuous hum. If your pump starts to make rattling or grinding sounds, or if it starts to sound like a washing machine cycle, then we encourage you to contact our team right away to have our technicians inspect it.
- No Water – Another way to determine if you need sump pump repair is to check the water level in the sump pit. If the sump pit is empty and dry, it means you have a problem. This usually happens when the sump pump becomes disconnected from the drainage system, and it prevents the pump from doing its job.
- Constant Cycling – A third thing to check to determine if you need sump pump repair is how often the sump pump turns on. If your pump is running or cycling constantly, you should call our team to have us check it out. This issue could indicate a problem with the sump pump switch, or it could mean your pump is not powerful enough to handle the amount of water in your drainage system.
