Signs You Need a New Sump Pump
Sump pumps can fail in a variety of ways, many of them producing unique symptoms. When one or more of these signs show up, it’s important to start thinking about replacement — even if you’ve not yet reached the typical lifespan of a sump pump, about ten years.
- Loud or unusual noises from your pump
- Excessive vibration when your pump operates
- Continuous running, even if it’s dry/no water is present
- Infrequent usage allows your pump to fail
- Frequent cycling on and off, with or without water
- A motor that gets stuck or hung up often
- A motor that stops working completely
- Visible rust or other damage to your sump pump
- Moisture and water in your basement even with the sump pump running
If your sump pump is more than 10 years old, it’s even more important to consider replacing it, even without symptoms, as a sump pump failing when it’s needed can be catastrophic for your home — especially if you have a finished basement or anything important in the affected area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sump Pumps
The most straightforward way to test a sump pump is, of course, to pour water into your sump pit. You can also test a sump pump by unplugging the float switch, unplugging the sump pump from the float switch, and plugging the pump directly into the wall, though this won’t tell you whether the sump pump is working, only whether or not it can turn on. Any home that stands on land that can be fully saturated with water might benefit from a sump pump; a constantly damp and saturated crawl space can give way to pests, mold, and humidity in your home, to say nothing of the potential damage caused to your home such as wood rot. A sump pump can drain anywhere, so long as the water isn’t going to come right back and isn’t connected to a sewer system. Ponds, downhill slopes, and storm drains are all potential targets for the water your sump pump is removing.How can I test my sump pump?
