Signs You Need Sump Pump Repair

Do you need a sump pump repair? Early warning signs can help you avoid costly damage to your Long Island home. Look out for:

  • Excessive vibrating: Vibrations could mean debris has damaged the impeller. If the impeller is bent, it can’t be repaired and needs replacing.
  • Infrequent use: Long Island’s weather can be unpredictable, but testing your sump pump between storms helps catch problems before they get worse.
  • Motor problems: If the pump stops completely, it could be wiring issues, a tripped breaker, or a blocked filter. A professional can diagnose the problem.
  • No water in the pit: A pump running with no water in the pit may point to improper installation or a disconnected drainage system. Repairs are needed.
  • Old age: Sump pumps typically last about seven years. If yours is older, it’s better to replace it before it fails during a storm.
  • Rust issues: Rust from corroded parts or bacteria can clog your plumbing if left untreated. Repair it right away to avoid bigger issues.
  • Strange noises: If your sump pump starts making loud or unusual sounds — like rattling or grinding — it could mean something’s wrong with the impeller or fan.
  • Won’t turn on: A sump pump that won’t turn on might have a tangled float switch or a broken bracket. If these aren’t the issue, it could be time for a replacement.

Types of Sump Pumps We Repair

Whether your pump is above the basin or installed beneath, our expert team is here to ensure your system runs reliably. We provide repair services for:

  • Submersible units: These pumps can stay fully submerged without damage, move water quickly, and are built to handle frequent use, providing durable protection against flooding for years to come.
  • Pedestal pumps: The pedestal sump pump features a motor above the sump basin, making it ideal for homes that only need a pump for occasional emergencies. While it pumps water at a slower rate, it’s a reliable option for less frequent use. However, it can’t be fully submerged without risking damage.
