BASEMENT WATER PROTECTION
Keep Your Sump Pump Ready for the Next Storm
A sump pump helps move collected groundwater away from your home through a discharge line. Worn parts, blocked discharge piping, power problems, and aging equipment can keep it from working when it matters most.
RECOGNIZE THE WARNING SIGNS
Is Your Sump Pump Working Properly?
01
Pump Won’t Turn On
A motor, float switch, power, or other component may be at fault.
02
Runs Continuously
A stuck float, sizing problem, or drainage issue can prevent normal cycling.
03
Unusual Noises
Rattling or grinding may indicate worn components.
04
Water Remains in the Pit
The pump or discharge route may not be moving water effectively.
05
Frequent Cycling
Float or check-valve issues can cause repeated starts.
06
Visible Rust
Aging or corroded components may warrant evaluation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sump Pump Questions
Do I need sump pump repair or replacement?
The decision depends on the age, condition, and cause of failure. A switch or discharge problem may be repairable; a failing motor or repeatedly unreliable pump may be better replaced.
Does a backup pump guarantee a dry basement?
No. A backup can add protection, but battery runtime, pump capacity, flooding severity, and equipment condition all limit performance. No sump pump prevents every form of basement flooding.
