Signs of Bad Sump Pumps

Below are some of the most common signs of sump pump failure we see on the job. If you notice any of the following, contact an expert for sump pump repair or installation.

Won’t Pump

The surest sign you have a bad submersible pump is if it stops pumping water out of the sump pit. In the worst cases, the backup battery of pedestal models can fail.

Runs Continuously

If the sump pump runs even when it’s not supposed to, it could mean the float switch is miscalibrated so it runs when the water is a few inches over the ground level in the sump pit. However, continuous running could mean the old unit can’t handle the excess water due

Mold

Another sign of a broken sump pump is mold growth around the basement. Mold can form when water seeps underneath the ground into the pump pit and the pump cannot remove it.

Loud Noises

If you can hear loud scraping noises from the lowest point of the sump pit, it could be a sign of mechanical failure that requires repair.
