Can a sump pump get overwhelmed?

The Sump Pump is completely overwhelmed. When it comes to dealing with a wet basement "event," a single sump pump just isn't enough. It is possible that the pump will not be reliable or powerful enough to handle the volume of water that is being pumped in, especially during severe rains.

What is the most common reason for sump pump failure?

When there is a power outage, the most typical reason for sump pump failure is. Sump pumps rely on the electricity provided by your home, therefore power outages might be an issue.

Can a sump pump be too powerful?

If a pump is either too little or too powerful, that is not what you want. If the pump is too small, it will not be able to keep up with the amount of water that is being pumped into the basin. A "short-cycle" is caused when the pump is very strong. Because of this, the pump will cycle frequently, which might result in premature pump failure.

Is it normal for sump pump to run every 30 seconds?

Something may be wrong if your sump pump is operating every 30 seconds, which could suggest a problem. It is possible that there is a flaw in your basement foundation that is causing water to be trapped and the pump to run every 30 seconds, forcing the pump to run constantly. The fact that your sump pump is cycling on and off every 30 seconds could possibly be the result of a broken subterranean water main.

What is the average life expectancy of a sump pump?

Your sump pump, like all other appliances and pieces of equipment in your home, will not endure indefinitely. Because sump pumps have a lifespan of approximately 10 years, you may not discover that yours has failed until it ceases to function.

Sewage ejector pump and sump pump issues are more common than most people realize, especially in Georgia. When these plumbing components break down, they can spew waste anywhere along the line. Our rolling hills can cause sewage runoff to appear in a wide range of unexpected places, including your basement.

Panther Plumbing can keep your home from filling with sewer and rain runoff. We offer sewage ejector pump and sump pump repair services.

We Will Make Your #2 Problem Our #1 Priority

An sewer ejector pump often looks just like a sump pump and is also installed in a basin in the floor. Rather than collecting groundwater from drain tile like a sump pump, the ejector pump’s basin will accumulate and discharge waste water from toilets. Dealing with sewage ejector pump or sump pump repair work is not for the faint of heart. At Panther Plumbing, we’re not afraid to get our hands dirty.
