"I had a new sump pump auxiliary battery installed this month...Josh arrived on time & was very efficient...he was gone in about 15 minutes... very satisfied..."
"Professionally completed job. Lots of attention to detail and thoroughly cleaned area around installation. Would hire again without a second thought."
"Eric from Vanguard was amazing to work with. My sewage grinder pump completely failed during the holidays. Not only did he text me within minutes of my submission, he came out the next morning, quickly assessed what could be done and replaced my pump the next business day. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient with time. The cost, all in, was well below what I had feared I would need to pay. Additionally, he offered future-looking advice (without any obligation) on things to consider in the future. I recommend Vanguard Plumbing to anyone seeking a plumber who is honest, friendly, efficient, and cost effective."

"We came home from vacation in the evening to a flooded basement. Filled out a request on Angi that night. Within a half an hour received a response. Plumber arrived at 10:30 that night and replaced our sump pump and other issues. I highly recommend this business."
"Ron responded quickly when I had a water leak in my basement from a previous french drain that was done in 1989. Ron's sons were prompt, efficient and explained everything. They cleaned the drain, sump hole and the sediment under the freezer as well as fixing the problem area. They also honored the original warranty due to the fact that their father did the original work when he owned the "Sure-Way"!!! I appreciate their honesty, their workmanship and work ethic!!! Thank you for a job well done!!"
"Dave provided amazingly quick and courteous service. Got a return phone call just five minutes after finding him online and he was at my house with a new sump pump within the hour on a Sunday night! Great service!"

In most cases, standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover damage from a sump pump failure or overflow. Coverage for water damage is often limited to sudden, unexpected events like a burst pipe that was not caused by negligence. To be covered for sump pump issues, you will likely need to purchase a specific rider, endorsement, or additional water backup insurance. If your insurer offers this type of coverage, they may require proof that your sump pump is regularly maintained.
First, you can try unplugging the two sump pump cords, one for the motor and one for the float switch, then plugging them back in to reset the sump pump. You can also reset the sump pump by turning it off and back on at the breaker. Many sump pumps have a reset button, which you can press and hold for a few seconds to reset the device.
Several indicators suggest it's time for a sump pump replacement. A key factor is age; if the pump is over 10 years old, its lifespan is likely ending. Performance issues are also clear signs, such as the pump running constantly, cycling on and off frequently, making unusual noises or vibrations, or failing to function at all. A faulty or burnt-out motor is another definite sign a replacement is needed. Additionally, if you notice any signs of incorrect installation, the pump should be replaced. For a definitive diagnosis, a vetted plumber can assess the pump and confirm whether a replacement is necessary.
If your water pump fails, the first step is to turn off the power to the pump to prevent any further damage. Check for common issues such as clogs, electrical problems, or mechanical failures. If you cannot identify the problem, contact a professional who specializes in pump repairs. Prompt action can help minimize damage and repair costs.
