Sump Pump F.A.Q’S
Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know if My Sump Pump is Working Properly?
You can test your sump pump by pouring a bucket of water into the sump pit to raise the water level. The pump should activate and begin draining the water. You can also listen for the sound of the motor running when the pump is activated. If you don’t hear the pump running or notice it isn’t removing water, the pump may be malfunctioning.
Additionally, check the discharge pipe to ensure there are no blockages. It’s a good idea to test your sump pump regularly, especially before the rainy season, to ensure it’s functioning properly and to avoid costly flooding damage.
What Size Sump Pump Do I Need For My Home?
The size of the sump pump you need depends on the size of the sump pit and the amount of water you expect to need to pump out. Generally, the larger the sump pit and the more water that enters it, the larger the pump required.
Sump pumps are rated by their horsepower, with most residential sump pumps falling between 1/4 horsepower to 1/2 horsepower. A 1/3 horsepower pump is often sufficient for an average-sized home with moderate water flow, while larger homes or those with frequent flooding may need a 1/2 horsepower pump or higher.
A plumber can help you assess your home’s needs and recommend the appropriate pump size.
Do I Need a Backup Sump Pump?
A backup sump pump is highly recommended, especially if your home is prone to power outages or heavy rainfall. Backup sump pumps ensure that your home remains protected from flooding if the primary pump fails or if there is a power outage during a storm. There are two common types of backup pumps: battery-powered and water-powered. Battery-powered backups are the most common and provide power to the sump pump in the event of a power failure.
A plumber can help you choose the best backup system based on your home’s needs and provide installation to ensure that your sump pump continues to operate even when the power goes out.
How Can I Prevent My Sump Pump From Freezing in the Winter?
To prevent your sump pump from freezing during the winter months, ensure that the discharge pipe is insulated and that any exposed pipes are protected from the cold. Make sure the discharge pipe has a proper slope, so that water can flow freely and prevent it from sitting in the pipe and freezing. Check the discharge pipe regularly to ensure it’s not clogged with debris or ice.
You can also install a freeze guard, which helps keep the water flowing through the discharge pipe. If you’re unsure how to protect your sump pump from freezing, a plumber can assess your system and suggest preventative measures.
