Common Sump Pump Problems We Fix
Sump pumps are easy to forget until they stop working. Here are some of the issues we fix for Kansas City homeowners all the time:
Pump won’t start
This usually means a stuck float switch or tripped breaker. We find the cause and get it running.
Pump runs nonstop
A stuck switch, poor drainage, or the wrong pump size can cause constant cycling. We fix what’s behind it.
Loud noises or shaking
Rattling or grinding often points to a jammed impeller or worn motor. We replace parts before they fail.
Backup not working
We test and replace backup batteries or systems so you stay protected during power outages.
Blocked or frozen discharge line
We clear clogs and insulate lines to keep water moving even in freezing temps.
Water pooling in basement
If water stays even when the pump runs, we check for installation or drainage problems and correct them.
