A home’s sump pump is an essential element in many homes to keep those that live in the home safe from possible flooding. Sump pumps collect water below the lowest level of the home and release it outside of the home. Since they serve such an important function, it’s important to have your sump pump replaced when the time comes. A few indicators that your sump needs to be replaced are:
Your sump pump should not run continuously. In the event that it is, hopefully, it is just a switch problem that can be easily repaired. If that’s not the issue, your home’s sump may not be able to handle its water and as a result, has to be replaced.
If your sump pump goes long periods of time without being used, it is likely to have a shorter lifespan and be in need of a replacement earlier than potentially expected.
In the event that your sump pump’s motor begins to struggle, it is time to consider a replacement. If the motor for your sump pump isn’t working or the motor gets stuck frequently it can be more cost-effective to replace the unit than continue to repair it.
Any odd or disconcerting sounds coming from your sump pump can signal damaged or worn components. Any banging, grinding, or rattling sounds are cause for concern.
Sometimes old age is enough of a reason to get a replacement sump pump. Over time, wear and tear will make your sump pump less effective. Any sump pump over seven years of age is considered outdated and a replacement should be considered.
Any visible rust is a sign that your sump pump has begun to deteriorate. Rust can cause your sump pump to have issues with water flow to your drainage system.
Anytime your sump pump is vibrating uncontrollably it is likely due to an issue with the impeller. Impellers become damaged when debris is sucked up by them. Damaged impellers are unlikely to be able to be repaired and as a result a replacement unit is usually needed.

A sump pump can help to protect your home from flooding and water damage by collecting excess ground or surface water, pumping it away from your basement or crawl space, and preventing it from accumulating in your home. Installing a sump pump also helps to improve indoor air quality by eliminating mold, mildew, and unhealthy moisture levels. Additionally, many homeowners report lower energy costs due to an improved drainage system.
It is recommended that you inspect your sump pump on an annual basis, or sooner if you suspect any issues such as a clogged intake screen or an insufficient discharge pipe. It is also important to check that the pump is operational during periods of heavy rain or snow melt. If you notice any problems, contact a professional right away for assistance.
If your sump pump stops working, first check that it is still receiving power by testing the circuit breaker or fuse box. If everything appears to be functioning correctly, it’s best to contact an experienced professional for help in diagnosing and repairing the issue. Doing so can help prevent costly damages from occurring due to flooding or water damage caused by a malfunctioning system.
