Quick Answers for Sump Pump Problems
Not sure what you are dealing with? These quick answers help you choose the right next step and reduce the risk of basement flooding.
Sump pump will not turn on
This can be caused by a stuck float switch, power issue, failing motor, or debris in the pit.
If water is rising, call right away for emergency service.
Sump pump runs constantly
Continuous cycling can indicate a float problem, check valve issue, undersized pump, or high inflow.
We diagnose the root cause and recommend a lasting fix.
Basement water after rain or snow melt
Water entry may be tied to perimeter drainage, the pump system, or discharge line problems.
We can address the pump and recommend waterproofing options when needed.

Why does my sump pump keep turning on and off?
Frequent cycling can be caused by a float switch issue, check valve failure, or system sizing concerns. A diagnostic visit can pinpoint the cause and reduce wear on the pump.
