Is water flooding your basement during a storm? A broken sump pump can quickly lead to major water damage. In Philadelphia, many homes have old plumbing and poor drainage, so it’s important to act fast.

At Sump Pump Philadelphia, we offer emergency sump pump repair 24 hours a day. Our plumbers can fix your pump, install a new one, or add a backup system to help keep your home dry.

Signs Your Sump Pump Is Not Working

Many homes in Philadelphia have stone basements and high water tables. If your sump pump stops working, even a small leak can lead to flooding. Look for these problems:

Pump Does Not Turn On During Heavy Rain

This is one of the main signs of trouble. If your pump doesn’t turn on during a rainstorm, you need help now. Waiting could cause serious flooding in your basement.

Runs All the Time or Turns On and Off Quickly

If the pump motor keeps running or cycles on and off, it might be about to stop working. This can raise your electric bill and damage the motor.

Strange Sounds Like Grinding or Buzzing

Loud or strange noises mean something inside the pump may be broken. You might need a new impeller or a full replacement.

Water Leaks Near the Discharge Pipe

If you see water or wet spots around the discharge pipe, the pump may not be draining right. This can lead to puddles or mold in the basement.

Smells Coming from the Sump Pit

Bad smells often mean standing water or mold. It could also mean the pump is stuck or the line is clogged.

No Power or a Tripped Breaker

If the pump won’t start at all, it may have lost power. Don’t try to fix electrical parts yourself—call a trained plumber right away.

Why You Should Let Experts Fix Your Sump Pump

Avoid Big Repair Bills

Even one inch of flood water can cost over $25,000 in damage. Getting your pump fixed now can save you from major repairs later.

How to Keep Your Sump Pump Working Right

Schedule Sump Pump Maintenance Before Big Storms

Heavy rain in fall and spring causes most of the flooding. A simple pump check can help avoid big problems.

Monthly Sump Pump Check You Can Do

You can do a few easy things once a month:

• Look around the pump pit for any water or leaks
• Listen for loud or strange sounds
• Check that the discharge pipe outside is clear
• Test the float switch by slowly pouring water into the pit

Keep the Pit Clean

Remove dirt, leaves, or trash from the sump pit. These block the float switch or clog the pump.

Test with Water

Pour a few gallons of water into the pit. The pump should turn on, drain the water, and shut off.

Make Sure Water Goes Away from the House

The water leaving the pump should drain far away from your home’s foundation. If not, we can adjust the pipe to help.
