Knowing When to Replace a Sump Pump

Sump pumps only turn on when water begins to fill the sump pit. Unfortunately, this means that many homeowners only discover there is a problem when the pump doesn’t come on and the basement begins to flood. Typically, sump pumps last about 10 years, but it is important to inspect your pump regularly and know the signs of a possible problem.

Watch out for signs of a sump pump problem like:

  • Grinding noises
  • Excessive vibration when running
  • Running for a long period of time
  • Cycling irregularly
  • Visible rust
  • Constant running

If your sump pump is not used frequently, it is important to schedule testing to make sure the pump is in good condition. Regular testing and maintenance can indicate a problem and allow you to handle it before you experience a disaster. We service sump pumps in Middletown and provide repair and sump pump installation.

Types of Sump Pumps

There are two main types of sump pumps: submersible and pedestal pumps. Submersible pumps sit inside the sump pit, so they are designed to be waterproof. For this reason, they are quieter than pedestal pumps and clog less often. The downside is that a submersible pump typically has a shorter lifespan than a pedestal model.

Pedestal pumps sit above the sump reservoir and have a hose that draws the water up and away from the house. The pump turns on when a rise in the water in the reservoir is detected. This type of pump is generally less powerful than a submersible pump and best suited for properties with minor flooding issues. They tend to be louder than submersible pumps, but they are easier to service and inspect since they are not submerged in the pit.
