Why is my sump pump not working?

- Check valve failure
- Switch failure
- Float stuck
- Power failure
- Motor burnout
- Casing failure

How do you fix a sump pump problem?
Test & Clean the Pump
Your sump pump consists of many moving parts that can wear down or need replacement. Your service technician will check your sump pump's float switch and intake for any possible problems. After this, the intake valve and impeller will be cleaned and checked to ensure they function correctly. Once the service technician finds that the pump is working correctly, the sump pump liner will be cleaned of any sediment or silt that may be present. This crucial step will keep it from building in the future and potentially clogging check valves, etc.
Test & Replace Batteries
The battery in your WaterWatch® Sump Pump Alarm should be replaced once a year, and the service technician will take care of this during the visit. Additionally, your backup sump pump's battery will be tested to ensure it's holding a proper charge.
Check the Discharge Line
We will check the discharge line to ensure that water is freely moving through the discharge line. We also check for the potential for freezing.

Often, our service technicians will see signs of newly emerging problems that may not have existed before and they can offer or implement solutions that will address these issues proactively. Our product line continually expands to help keep your basement or crawl space dry!
