What to Do If Your Sump Pump

Stops Working (Safe Checks)

If your sump pump isn’t running, these safe checks may help before you call:

  • Confirm the pump is plugged in and the outlet has power

  • Check for a tripped breaker or GFCI (if applicable)

  • Make sure the float switch isn’t stuck against the side of the pit

  • If you see obvious standing water rising quickly, stop troubleshooting and call

Important: If you’re uncertain around electricity or water contact, don’t risk it—schedule service.

Repair is often the best choice when:

  • The pump is otherwise in good condition and the issue is isolated (float switch, check valve, minor performance fault)

Replacement may make more sense when:

  • The unit is older and struggling to keep up

  • The pump is corroded, noisy, or repeatedly failing

  • You want improved reliability during heavy rain events

Backup options: If basement protection is a priority, we can discuss backup solutions at a high level (based on your home’s needs and how often you’ve experienced water).

We’ll help you choose a practical route—no pressure, just clear guidance.

Service Call Fee FAQ

Why is my sump pump running nonstop?

It can be caused by a stuck float, high inflow, discharge issues, or a pump that can’t keep up.

Why does my sump pump cycle on and off quickly?

Rapid cycling often points to a float/switch issue, system setup issue, or water returning to the pit.

What should I do if my sump pump won’t turn on?

Check power, breaker/GFCI, and float position. If water is rising or it still won’t run, call for service.

How do I know if my sump pump is working properly?

A properly working sump pump should remove water efficiently and shut off reliably once the water level drops.

Can you repair a stuck float switch?

Yes—float switch issues are common and often repairable.

What causes water to flow back into the pit after the pump runs?

A check valve problem or discharge issue can allow water to return.

It depends on age, condition, and the type of failure. We’ll inspect and provide options.
