Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure

Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist
There are a few quick things you can do to ensure your sump pump is set up for efficiency.
- Check that the cord is in decent shape.
- Plug it into a GFCI outlet in anticipation of power surges.
- Confirm the pump is upright and not leaning to one side, since this can lead the pump to not activate when required.
- If it’s been awhile since the pump has run, pour a bucket of water into the pit to check the pump runs and removes the water efficiently.
- During arid weather, remove the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can pull small stones into the grate over time.
- Check the discharge pipe’s vent hole is clear.
