Before Work Begins
How the Right Solution Is Chosen

A working pump still fails the property if the discharge is frozen, blocked, recirculating, or poorly placed.
Plan for outages
Battery, secondary pump, alarm, or generator options can reduce risk when power is unreliable.
Direct Answers
Sump Pumps FAQ
Why does my sump pump run constantly?
High water, a stuck float, undersizing, a failed check valve, short discharge, or recirculation may be responsible.
How can I test the pump?
Where safe and manufacturer-approved, adding water to the basin can verify float activation and discharge.
When should a sump pump be replaced?
Age, corrosion, noise, repeated failures, inadequate capacity, and unreliable testing can support replacement.
