Marin County Sump Pump Installation

Your sump pump shouldn’t run continuously. If you find that it does, the best case scenario is a simple float switch repair. If that still doesn’t solve the issue, your pump may not be able to handle its water levels and as a result, should be replaced.

If your sump pump goes long periods of time without being used, it is likely to have a shorter lifespan and require a premature replacement.

In the event your sump pump’s motor is struggling, it may be time to consider replacing the pump altogether. If the motor isn’t working or gets stuck frequently, it can actually be more cost effective to replace the unit entirely rather than continue repairing it.

Odd or disconcerting sounds coming from your sump pump can signal damaged or worn components. Any banging, grinding, or rattling sounds are all cause for concern.

Sometimes old age is enough of a reason on its own to replace your sump pump. Over time, wear and tear will make your pump less effective. Any sump pump over seven years of age is considered outdated and a replacement should be in order.

Any visible rust on your unit is a clear sign that your sump pump has begun deteriorating. Rust can complicate water flow to your drainage system and should be dealt with right away.

Any time your sump pump is vibrating uncontrollably, there is likely an issue with the impeller. Impellers become damaged when debris is sucked up into them. Damaged impellers are very difficult to repair and typically result in a total pump replacement.
