Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure

- Age (average pump lasts 10 years)
Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist
There are a few easy things you can do to make sure your sump pump is prepared for efficiency.
- Make sure the cord is in decent shape.
- Plug it into a GFCI outlet in the event of power surges.
- Confirm the pump is upright and not tipping to one side, since this can trigger the pump to not activate when needed.
- If the pump hasn’t been on recently, drop a bucket of water into the pit to make sure the pump starts and pulls out the water quickly.
- During arid forecasts, remove the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can draw small stones into the grate over time.
- Confirm the discharge pipe’s vent hole is free of obstructions.
