A common homeowner mistake with sump pumps is not scheduling repair soon enough. Acting fast when you notice problems with your sump pump solves most problems before they escalate to sump pump replacements. Properly maintained sump pumps are much less prone to outright failure, clogging, float issues, and so forth.
Sump pumps that run often experience substantial wear and tear that will manifest in many different problems. Whether you should repair or replace comes down to repair costs and unit age. The life expectancy of most sump pumps is about 10 years. If you’ve surpassed 75% of that, it’s probably better to replace it. We’ll also recommend replacement if the repair will cost more than half the cost of a new sump pump.
If you are considering a sump pump installation, you have the core choice of either a pedestal or a submersible pump. Pedestal pumps tend to be less expensive and easier to maintain. Submersible pumps handle a larger volume of water and are better for frequent operation.
A backup is important to ensure that your sump pump runs when your basement or crawlspace is flooding. Combination units tend to be the most affordable option. They are a strong choice when the likelihood of needing the backup pump is relatively low. If you use your pump every season and for high volumes of water, you’ll likely want to invest in a dedicated backup.
Watch for signs you need to repair or replace your sump pump:
Regular clogging
Tripped circuit breakers
Excessive vibration or noise
Frequent turning on and off
Visible rust or other corrosion
