Common Sump Pump Issues Requiring Repair
- Motor Failure: A malfunctioning motor can cause your sump pump to stop working altogether.
- Switch Problems: Issues with the switch mechanism can lead to the pump not activating when needed or continuously running.
- Clogged Discharge Pipe: A clogged discharge pipe can prevent water from being pumped out, leading to overflow and potential flooding.
- Stuck Float Switch: A stuck float switch can prevent the pump from turning on or off at the appropriate water levels.
- Frozen or Disconnected Discharge Line: In colder climates, frozen discharge lines or disconnected pipes can render the pump ineffective.
