How to Test Your Sump Pump

It’s essential to regularly check the functionality of your sump pump to verify that it’s ready to perform when you need it most. Testing your pump is a straightforward task, especially with step-by-step instructions from our trained professionals.

Our recommended sump pump testing procedure involves:

Inspecting the power connection. First, ensure your sump pump is plugged in correctly and has power. If necessary, check the circuit breaker.
Pouring water into the sump pit. Add water to the pit until it activates the float switch. The pump should start working immediately and drain the water.
Checking the discharge pipe. Confirm that water flows properly through the discharge pipe and is directed away from your property.
Listening for unusual noises. Pay attention to any unusual sounds while the pump operates; these could signal mechanical troubles.
Manually checking the float switch. Lift the float switch manually to verify it activates the pump, even when the water level hasn't reached it.

If you notice anything amiss during these steps, don’t risk further complications. Reach out to Ponder Plumbing, and our team will provide prompt evaluation and expert solutions.

Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure

Sump pump failure can happen for a variety of reasons, many of which are preventable with regular maintenance and prompt repairs.

Ponder Plumbing can help you with:

Power outages. Sump pumps need electricity to operate. We can provide backup power solutions, such as battery or water-powered backups, to ensure continual operation.
Clogged drainage lines. A clogged discharge pipe disrupts water flow. Our technicians use advanced equipment to clear blockages and prevent future issues.
Failed float switches. The float switch is the trigger for your pump. Dirt or damage can cause it to fail. We can clean, adjust, or replace switches as needed.
Aging pump components. Even the best sump pumps wear out over time. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan or showing signs of inefficiency, we offer reliable replacement services with high-quality options.

With our workmanship backed by a one-year warranty, you can be confident that your service from Ponder Plumbing is dependable and long-lasting. Whether you need repairs, testing, or a full replacement, our experienced team is here to keep your sump pump running smoothly.
