How Long Do Sump Pumps Last?
As with the rest of the appliances in your home, a sump pump requires regular maintenance and repair. Even with regular maintenance and after having the product professionally installed, a sump pump’s lifespan can average 7-10 years.
Several matters can impact the lifespan of a sump pump, however:
- Frequency of use
- Whether or not repairs/maintenance is regularly addressed
- Proper sizing and installation
If you begin to notice any of the following signs, we recommend giving our team of Kansas City sump pump installation pros a call right away.
How Do You Know When to Replace a Sump Pump?
- It is making unusual noises, such as rattling or grinding, when running
- There are signs of rust or other damage
- The pump is vibrating more so than usual when running
- It turns on and off repeatedly
- The motor within the sump pump continually gets stuck
- It runs without water in the pit
- It refuses to run even with a battery backup
All of these signs could indicate the need for a new sump pump. Don’t wait for potential water damage, give our expert plumbers a call. We can evaluate the system to determine the nature of the breakdown.
Can I install a sump pump myself?
In order for a sump pump to be effective, it should be installed by a professional plumber. Many DIYers may want to install a sump pit and sump pump alone, but this is a major undertaking that can impact the entire plumbing system in the home and should be carefully executed.
A professional plumber can ascertain the best method of installation for the sump pump, the proper size for the job, and whether it must be installed in conjunction with a drain tile system. Additionally, our plumbing team can determine whether a sump pump is your best solution, especially when you are facing a flooded basement or another plumbing issue.
