Sump pump not working โ€“ what’s usually wrong, and how we fix it

Float switch stuck or failed

The most common cause. The float can jam against the pit wall or simply wear out. We free it or replace it on the spot.

Pump burned out

A pump that hums but doesn’t move water usually has a seized impeller or a dead motor. We carry replacements on the truck.

Check valve or discharge line

If water runs back into the pit or the line is frozen or clogged, the pump runs but never catches up. We clear it and add freeze protection.

Common questions

The pump is humming but no water is moving โ€“ what does that mean?

Usually a seized impeller or a jammed float. Turn it off at the breaker if it’s hot, and call us โ€“ running a seized pump burns the motor out.

Can you come tonight?

Yes. Sump pump emergencies are handled 24/7 with a real person answering the phone.

Do you carry pumps on the truck?

Yes. Primary pumps, floats, check valves and battery backups, so most jobs are finished in one visit.

What does the $45 service call cover?

The trip and the diagnosis on weekdays. Evenings, nights and weekends are slightly higher. You approve the price before any work.
