Why a Sump Pump Is Only as Reliable as Its Backup
A sump pump is the last line of defense between collected groundwater and a flooded basement, which means its one job has to work every single time — including during the power outages that often accompany the heavy storms that cause flooding in the first place. A pump without battery backup, or one that's undersized or aging, is a single point of failure. Understanding your pump's capacity and backup options matters just as much as having a pump installed at all.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what homeowners ask us most about sump pump.
- How often should a sump pump be replaced?
- Most sump pumps last 3 to 5 years under normal use. Signs it may be nearing the end of its life include unusual noise, longer run times, visible rust, or a pump that struggles to keep up during a heavy storm.
- What happens if the power goes out?
- Without a backup, the pump stops working during an outage and water has nowhere to go. Battery backup systems can keep a pump running for several hours during an outage, and we'll help you choose the right capacity based on your risk and how often your power tends to go out.
- Why does my sump pump run constantly?
- Frequent cycling usually points to a high water table, a failing float switch, or a pump that's undersized for your property. We check the float switch, pump capacity, and pit to pinpoint the cause.
