1 Water under the house

Does water collect in your crawlspace? A sump pump can remove the water and prevent structural damage.

2 Motor failure

If your sump pump is older or out of warranty, replacing it can often make more sense than repairing it—but this depends on its overall condition.

3 Finished basements

Sump pumps help protect finished basements from water damage and mold.

4 Low-lying areas

Homes in low-lying areas are often prone to water damage.

5 Mold

A wet, moldy crawlspace or basement can often benefit from a sump pump.

6 Foundation problems

Wet earth beneath your home’s foundation can cause structural damage. Sump pumps can stop the problem from worsening.

All About Sump Pumps: Key Details, Tips, and Benefits for a Worry-Free Home

Why is there water under my house?

Homes that are below ground level or near water sources (like streams or ponds) can collect water around their foundations after heavy rains. A sump pump helps move this water away before it causes damage.

Why does my sump pump make loud noises?

Some pumps make noticeable noises when cycling on and off, especially pedestal models. Excess vibration can come from loose components, a misaligned discharge pipe, or a failing motor bearing. Inspect parts for tightness and alignment, and replace worn bearings if needed.

Why is my sump pump running so often?

A frequently cycling pump could mean high groundwater levels, incorrect float switch placement, or that water is flowing back from the discharge line. Check that the float switch isn’t getting stuck and that the discharge line has a properly working check valve to prevent water from coming back into the pit.

Why does my sump pit have an unpleasant odor?

A stagnant smell may be caused by standing water or debris inside the pit. Cleaning the pit and ensuring any basin covers have a proper seal can help. Sometimes a dried-out drain trap or lack of ventilation can also contribute to odors, so a quick inspection of related plumbing can be helpful.

What causes my sump pump to turn on but not pump out water?

If you hear the motor running but don’t see water leaving the pit, you might have a clogged intake or discharge line. Sediment or debris can block water flow, or the impeller (the part that actually moves the water) could be damaged. Checking for blockages is a good first step.

Do I need a backup plan for power outages?

Yes, if your area experiences power outages during storms, a battery backup or water-powered backup pump can keep water at bay when you lose electricity. Even in Atlanta, occasional severe weather can knock out power, so a backup can help prevent basement or crawl space flooding.

Why isn’t my sump pump working?

Common reasons include a burned-out motor, a stuck float switch, or a clog in the discharge line. Make sure the unit has power and the float can move freely. If the problem persists, further inspection is needed.

How do I maintain my sump pump?

Regularly clear debris from the sump pit and ensure the discharge line isn’t blocked. Inspect seals and gaskets for wear, and test the pump at least a couple of times a year to confirm it’s working.

What does a sump pump actually do?

A sump pump sits in a pit (or sump) at the lowest part of your basement or crawl space. When water collects in the pit, the pump turns on automatically and pushes the water away from your home’s foundation.

How long do sump pumps usually last?

A well-maintained sump pump typically lasts around 7–10 years. Factors like usage, water quality, and the amount of debris can affect its lifespan.

What’s the difference between a pedestal and a submersible sump pump?

A pedestal pump sits above the water line, making it easier to service but sometimes noisier. A submersible pump is placed underwater in the sump pit, usually quieter but a bit harder to access for repairs.

Can a sump pump freeze in winter?

In colder climates, the discharge line can freeze if water sits in it. Atlanta winters are milder, but it’s still wise to ensure the discharge line is properly sloped and insulated, especially if temperatures drop below freezing.
