When Are Sump Pump Repairs Maryland Needed?

It’s obvious you need a sump pump repair when your sump pump is emitting odd noises, running constantly, or you’re experiencing flooding water. However, regular sump pump repairs are also critical to prevent major breakdowns that result in catastrophic events, like flooding, wires shorting out, and more. 

Sump pumps consist of various mechanical components and these parts can experience wear and tear or malfunction over time, leading to mechanical failure. The motor may burn out, the impeller may become clogged or damaged, or the float switch might fail to activate the pump when necessary. All of these require professional sump pump repairs in order to correct the operation of your sump pump.

Similarly, during a power outage, sump pumps can become ineffective. Installing a battery backup system or a generator can help ensure your pump continues to function when the power is disrupted, especially during intense storms.

Improper installation can also contribute to sump pump issues. It may not be able to effectively remove water from the sump pit, leading to flooding or insufficient drainage, causing more problems down the line.

You always want to check your discharge pipe, as well.  The discharge pipe carries water from the sump pump to a designated drainage area. If the discharge pipe becomes blocked or obstructed, it can impede the flow of water, causing the pump to work harder or fail to remove water from the sump pit. 

More often than not, Nation Water Maryland Plumbers respond to sump pump repairs for old or worn out sump pumps.  Depending on the quality and usage, a sump pump typically lasts around 7-10 years. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the proper functioning of a sump pump and help extend its lifespan. Routine maintenance involves cleaning the sump pit, checking the pump’s operation, and inspecting the components for any signs of wear or damage.
