"This summer our basement flooded not once but twice. It is a finished basement and the flooding created quite a problem. We just cleaned up after the first flood and were looking for someone to repair the problem when our basement flooded again. Several contractors came to our house and gave us an estimate. All but one contractor was quick to tell us this was only an estimate. The price was not firm because they had no way to know what problems they may encounter.

Only one contractor broke it down in sections. If it was just the sump pumps it would be X amount, if it was a drain tile it would be X amount more, etc. Paul was also the only one to guarantee his work. We agreed on a price and work started the next week.

He noticed our water soaked carpets and volunteered the use of industrial dehumidifiers and fans. (These rent for around $300/day.) When the work began we had a very happy surprise. Unbeknownced to us we had drain tile. If Paul were not an honest man, we would have paid for something we didn't need. Our sump pumps were replaced and a few minor problems were corrected. Our basement has been dry ever since. Any time that I will need services like this again, I will let Paul know."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.

A sump pump's lifespan is typically 7 to 10 years, though the general range can be anywhere from 5 to 15 years. The specific type of pump is a major factor: pedestal sump pumps last an average of 20 to 25 years, whereas submersible sump pumps last between 5 and 15 years. While pedestal pumps are less expensive to service, they are also louder and more prone to clogging.

Several other factors influence longevity, including the pump's quality, usage frequency, and maintenance schedule. A high-quality pump that is well-maintained in a dry climate may last for two decades, while a lower-quality, poorly maintained pump in an area with a high water table or frequent flooding may fail in six years or less.

Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and tuneups from a professional, can significantly extend the pump's life. It is time to consider a replacement if your sump pump runs constantly, cycles frequently, shows visible rust or corrosion, or trips a circuit breaker. As a preventative measure, many homeowners replace their pumps every eight years. It's also worth noting that a manufacturer's warranty can indicate expected lifespan, and some home insurance policies may not cover water damage from a pump that is past its recommended replacement date.

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.

Yes, it’s normal (and beneficial) to have a small amount of water in the bottom of your sump pit. It shows that your system is collecting groundwater, rain, and excess water from around your property—just like it’s supposed to. However, if the sump pit is always full, you might have a leak or a faulty sump pump.

Inspect the pump annually, test the float switch, and clean the discharge line to ensure efficient operation.
