Common Sump Pump Problems
Sump pumps play a critical role in preventing basement flooding, but they can experience various issues over time. Here are some common problems that our professional services can help prevent or resolve:
​
-
Power Failures: Sump pumps rely on electricity to operate. During a power outage, your sump pump won't function, leaving your basement vulnerable to flooding. Installing a backup system can mitigate this risk.
​
-
Switch Problems: The float switch, which activates the pump when water reaches a certain level, can get stuck or fail. Regular maintenance ensures the switch operates correctly.
​
-
Clogs and Blockages: Debris can clog the sump pump or the discharge pipe, preventing proper water removal. Cleaning and maintenance prevent clogs and ensure efficient operation.
​
-
Pump Burnout: Continuous running due to an undersized pump or excessive water flow can cause the motor to overheat and fail. Proper sizing and installation prevent this issue.
​
-
Check Valve Failure: A faulty check valve can cause water to flow back into the sump pit, leading to repeated cycles. Regular inspection and replacement of the check valve ensure efficient operation.

Electric vs. Battery-Powered Backup Sump Pumps
Choosing the right backup system for your sump pump depends on several factors, including your home's needs and budget. Here's a detailed comparison of electric and battery-powered backup sump pumps:
​
Battery-Powered Backup Sump Pumps:
Operation During Power Outages: Battery-powered backup pumps operate independently of your home's electricity, ensuring protection during power outages.
​
Easy Installation: These systems are relatively easy to install and can be added to existing sump pump systems.
​
Cost: Battery-powered backups are generally more affordable than water-powered systems.
​
Maintenance: Batteries require regular checks and replacement every few years to ensure reliability.
​
​
Water-Powered Backup Sump Pumps:
Unlimited Run Time: Water-powered backup pumps use municipal water pressure to operate, providing continuous protection without relying on batteries.
​
No Battery Replacement: These systems eliminate the need for battery replacement, reducing maintenance requirements.
​
Installation: Installation can be more complex and may require professional assistance, especially if modifying existing plumbing systems.
​
Cost: Initial costs can be higher due to installation complexity and water usage during operation.
​
​
Importance of Sump Pump Backup Systems
Backup sump pump systems are vital for ensuring continuous protection against flooding. Here are some key reasons why backup systems are essential:
-
Power Outages: During storms or power outages, your primary sump pump might fail. Backup systems ensure continuous operation, protecting your home from flooding.
​
-
Primary Pump Failure: If your primary pump fails due to mechanical issues, a backup system provides an immediate solution, preventing water damage.
​
-
Increased Water Volume: Heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt can overwhelm a single pump. Backup systems handle excess water, ensuring efficient removal and protection.
​
-
Peace of Mind: Knowing you have a reliable backup system in place provides peace of mind, especially during severe weather conditions
