Your sump pump is the unsung hero of your home, silently protecting your basement from flooding. But like any mechanical device, it has a limited lifespan, usually around 7-10 years. Unfortunately, most homeowners only find out their pump has failed when they walk into a flooded basement. During our home watch inspections, we check for the tell-tale signs of a struggling pump. Is it making strange grinding or rattling noises? Is it vibrating excessively? Is the float switch getting stuck? We also test the backup battery systems to ensure they will kick in during a power outage—which often happens during the very storms that require the pump to work hardest. Don’t wait for a wet carpet to tell you something is wrong. Regular testing and proactive replacement of this one inexpensive device can save you tens of thousands of dollars in water remediation costs.
