Even the best pumps will fail, they all do. Usually it's due to float switch failure.Many time the float switch gets stuck and the pump runs and runs till it burns up.

?

Sump pumps are mechanical devices that require exercise, to ensure they will run when required to.

?

We see pump failure from these Basement Defender Alerts:

?

Low Current - Airlock, clogged discharge, frozen discharges, iron ochre, mud, rocks or other material clogging the pump.

?

Excessive Run Time - Means a pump is running non stop for 3 minutes or more. This is usually from a float switch that is stuck on the on position. If you get this alert you should check your sump pit to see if the water is going up and down. During arctic cold blasts or spring thaw - freezes we see a lot of people with frozen discharges.

?

Pump did not run- During testing a pump did not run. It could have been unplugged or worse yet Dead.
