Sump pumps are electro-mechanical devices and every single one is guaranteed to fail at some point in time. Like cars, this will usually happen at the worst and most inopportune time of day or night. You don’t want to be the one driving or riding when the car suddenly dies. Or have a pump failure detected at 2 AM with the power out in the middle of a downpour.
Sump pump systems need to manage the depth of water under the building and handle peak flows from rain, snow thaw, and surface runoff. It must also discharge water to a safe location where it can’t re-enter the building again.
Floods are painful and costly experiences. Almost all can be prevented.
75% of pump failures are due to a problem with the float switch failing to run the pump. The other 25% involve other failures such as blocked discharges, blocked impellers, failed check valves, bad system controllers, old non-tested pumps, etc. So let’s maintain the systems properly, check and test them regularly, replace the wear and tear components on a maintenance schedule, and not get surprised by the deferred maintenance flood.
