Diagnosing Sump Pump Problems
Most sump pump problems have a specific cause. We test the unit under load before recommending any repair, checking electrical draw, float switch operation, check valve integrity, and discharge line condition. A pump that appears to be failing is often dealing with a secondary issue that a replacement would not fix.
We identify the root cause first. That determines whether the system needs a repair, a component replacement, or in cases where the pump is beyond service, a full replacement.
Common Sump Pump Problems We Repair

We identify the root cause first. That determines whether the system needs a repair, a component replacement, or in cases where the pump is beyond service, a full replacement.
Float Switch Failure
The float switch controls when the pump activates and shuts off. If it sticks, sits at the wrong height, or loses its range of motion, the pump either runs without stopping or fails to turn on at all.
We inspect the switch for mechanical wear, adjust or replace it, and confirm correct cycling before leaving.
Check Valve Failure
A failed check valve allows discharged water to flow back into the basin, forcing the pump to run repeatedly. This drives up electrical costs and accelerates wear on the motor. We replace the check valve and verify that the backflow is eliminated.
Electrical Issues
A tripped circuit breaker, corroded wiring, or a failed capacitor can stop a pump that is otherwise in good mechanical condition. We check electrical draw against manufacturer specifications and trace the fault before replacing any components.
In many cases the fix is straightforward and does not require a new unit.
Pump Motor Failure
When the motor fails, the pump will not run regardless of whether the float switch and electrical supply are functioning. We test the motor directly and advise on repair versus replacement based on the unit’s age, condition, and whether a properly sized replacement would serve the property better long term.
When Repair Is Not Enough
Not every failing pump is worth repairing. If the unit is undersized for the property, has exceeded its service life, or has sustained damage that makes repair uneconomical, we will tell you directly and recommend sump pump replacement as the next step. We size every replacement to your property’s actual drainage demands, not shelf availability.
For properties with chronic basement flooding that goes beyond what a sump pump alone can manage, our basement waterproofing service may be a more complete solution.
