Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure

Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist
There are a few easy things you can do to ensure your sump pump is set up for efficiency.
- Make sure the cord is in good shape.
- Plug it into a GFCI outlet in case of power surges.
- Confirm the pump is vertical and not tilting to one side, since this can cause the pump to not run when called for.
- If the pump hasn’t recently run, pour a bucket of water into the pit to make sure the pump turns on and removes the water efficiently.
- During arid forecasts, remove the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can draw small stones into the grate over time.
- Check the discharge pipe’s vent hole isn’t plugged.
