What to Do If Your Sump Pump

Stops Working (Safe Checks)

If your pump isn’t running, these safe checks can help:

Confirm the pump is plugged in and the outlet has power
Check for a tripped breaker or GFCI (if present)
Ensure the float switch isn’t stuck against the pit wall
If the water level is rising quickly, stop troubleshooting and call

If you’re uncertain around electricity, don’t risk it—schedule service.

Repair is usually best when:

The unit is in good shape and the problem is isolated (float, check valve, minor performance issue)

Replacement may be smarter when:

The pump is older, noisy, corroded, or repeatedly failing
It struggles to keep up during heavy water events
You want improved reliability and peace of mind

Backup options: If you’ve had water close calls (or damage) before, we can discuss backup protection at a high level and recommend practical options based on your home and risk level.
