Sump Pump Repair
Sump pump not working? Fast diagnosis and flat-rate repair before the next heavy rain.
A sump pump that isn't working is a basement flood waiting to happen. We diagnose and repair sump pump failures — from a stuck float switch to a burnt-out motor — and quote flat-rate before work begins.
Signs you need sump pump repair.
- The pump runs constantly, even without much water
- The pump doesn't turn on when the pit fills
- Unusual grinding or rattling noises from the pump
- Water in the basement despite having a sump pump
- The pump is several years old and has never been serviced
Common causes.
A stuck or failed float switch
The float switch tells the pump when to turn on, and it's one of the most common points of failure.
A worn-out motor
Pump motors have a service life and eventually burn out, especially after years of frequent cycling.
A clogged intake or discharge line
Debris in the pit or discharge line can block flow even when the pump itself is working.
Power or backup battery issues
A pump with no power, or a dead backup battery, won't run when it's needed most.
Repair vs. replace.
We diagnose first and recommend the option that actually fits — not the more expensive one.
Repair usually makes sense when:
- — The pump is relatively new and the issue is the float switch or a clog
- — The motor still runs but isn't cycling correctly
- — A backup battery just needs replacing
Replacement usually makes sense when:
- — The motor has failed or burned out
- — The pump is old and has failed more than once
- — The pit or pump was undersized for the home's water load to begin with
Our approach: We diagnose the actual point of failure before recommending a repair or a full pump replacement.
