Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

With regular maintenance and upkeep, most sump pumps last between seven and 10 years. However, if yours runs constantly or is too small for the amount of water you need pumped, it can wear out quicker. It may be time for a new sump pump if yours cycles on and off frequently, runs nonstop, or has visible corrosion or rust.

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.

One common reason a sump pump stops working is improper sizing. Different locations need different sizes and power ratings of sump pumps depending on the typical amount of water the pump needs to manage. If your sump pump is too small for the quantity of water, it can overwork and either burn out or reduce the life of the unit. If the pump is too big, it can overwork and burn out early. 

A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as $15-$25 a month.

If your sump pump has burnt out or malfunctioned before the end of its expected lifespan, you should be able to notice a few warning signs. Running constantly, making strange noises or vibrations, or ceasing to function altogether are all clear signs that your sump pump is due for replacement. You should also replace the sump pump if you notice any signs of incorrect installation.
