"I contacted A-1 Smitty (aka Bob Schmidt) for a camera locate job which turned into the total replacement of the sewer line - dug up the front yard, jack-hammered the basement, sleeved in new pipe, installed a clean out and backflow valve - much more than either of us originally signed up for! He was always willing to help, and provided sound advice and expertise to my concerns and inquiries. Quality work for a very fair price. A-1 Smitty is now my first call for plumbing issues. As a single girl, living alone, I'm relieved to find someone who's work I can trust."

"We've just had an exceptional experience working with Plumb Tite Plumbing. Our kitchen faucet broke after 20+ years of use and we decided on one of the newer, touch activated faucet replacements. Plumb Tite responded within 12 hours of our quote request on Angies List, and showed up 48 hours later. Brandon, our technician did an excellent, clean installation, and he was just enjoyable to work with. We'll request him again for future projects. When we asked about our aging sump pump and how long before it needed replacement, he inspected it and showed us that the float was no longer working and needed replacement soon. He had the pump on hand, and installed it immediately. We're very pleased with the work, the pricing and quality of materials used on our job. We'll be working with Plumb Tite again in the future, thanks."

"Basement Worx was on time every day, and dealt with the difficult dirty work very well. They addressed foundation cracks, put in the new drain system, and installed a sump pump with battery backup. Lonnie and his crew were great to work with."

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.

DIY is possible for simple repairs. Professional services ensure proper diagnostics and long-term reliability.

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.

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.
