  • Is your sump pump backing up? There are many reasons why your sump pump may fail. From too heavy rainfall and too small of a pump to clogs in the discharge line, you may not know why your pump has failed, all you know is that water is pouring into your basement. That’s when you call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Brampton. We’ll work to help stop the flow of water into your home to prevent more damage.

  • After the water has stopped flowing into your home, we’ll find out what’s caused your sump pump to fail. Sometimes all that’s wrong is that the power to your unit has failed, but it may be an issue with the impeller or the discharge line. We’ll get to the root of the plumbing issue before telling you our diagnosis of your unit.

  • Sump pumps are fairly uncomplicated devices. They operate with a float switch that activates the primary pump when the water in the sum basin reaches a certain level. Once we find the cause of your primary sump pump failure, we may need to clean the unit, replace a part, or replace the entire machine. More often than not all that is required is a thorough cleaning of your unit as clogs are very common.

    If replacement is necessary, we’ll help you pick out a new type of pump that fits your needs and budget. There are a few different types of sump pumps to choose from, including submersible pumps, pedestal pumps, battery backup sump pumps, and water-powered backup pumps.

FAQs: Sump Pump Backup

  • Sump Pumps can back up for many reasons, but the most common among them is clogs. They sit in a pit surrounded by water. It’s very easy for them to be covered in dirt and debris and for that debris to make its way into the discharge line. If a clog is formed, the pump cannot remove the water into the sanitary sewer line, and your sump pit will back up.

    Other common reasons for your sump pump to fail include:

    • The sump pit itself is dirty and becomes clogged
    • Power failures
    • The pump’s mechanical parts are clogged/dirty
    • The float switch is jammed or dirty and cannot operate
    • The discharge lines are frozen
    • There is no backup sump pump battery installed during a power outage
    • Extremely heavy rainfall/flooding for too small of a pump

    Looking for a sump pump battery backup? In Brampton, it’s important to have a backup battery installation for your primary sump pump to ensure it can work during extreme weather. Heavy rainfall can overwhelm your sump pit and cause it to overflow. During your sump pump installation or replacement, ask a professional for the correct size pump for your home.
