There are a few measures you can take to determine if your sump pump is working or not. The first thing you should check is that your exterior drain pipe is free of any debris. Ensure that the drain pipe is directing water away from your foundation. Secondly, check the power and see if you can hear the motor running. Lastly, pour a bucket of water into the pit to trigger the pump’s automatic start, which should drain quickly once the pump is triggered. If the pump doesn’t start or empty, call (978) 650-3827 to have a professional plumber further investigate the problem.
Sump pumps typically fail because they are overworked. If your basement floods for example, a single sump pump (especially an older one) may become overworked and unable to adequately handle such high levels of water. This is why it is absolutely vital to enlist yearly sump pump maintenance from certified plumbers at Cranney Home Services. Professional maintenance will help ensure that your pump remains in great condition and thus is much less likely to fail.
The most important thing you can do to make sure your sump pump doesn’t fail is to schedule proper maintenance at least once a year. Another measure you can take to ensure your pump doesn’t fail prematurely is to schedule service with our team the moment that you notice something is off with your system. Both of these factors will help keep your sump pump in pristine condition for years to come!
While there are numerous ways for homeowners to test their sump pump, it can be a complex process and is best practice to have a trusted plumbing expert at Cranney Home Services complete the test for you.
Common reasons for a sump pump to fail include improper installation, plugging the pump into a low-voltage extension cord, incorrect sizing, and mishandling. When it comes to installing, handling, and maintaining your sump pump, it’s always best to have a certified plumber at Cranney Home Services tend to these issues for you.

Fortunately, you can rely on the team at Cranney Home Services to repair your sump pump quickly and correctly! Our plumbing experts are equipped with all the necessary skills, tools, and expertise required to properly repair your sump pump.

As your sump pump ages, repairs will unfortunately become more frequent and necessary. If you’ve had your pump for more than seven to ten years and are experiencing issues with it, you will likely need to schedule a repair.
Visible rust and corrosion are both common causes for professional repair when it comes to your sump pump. Rust and corrosion in your sump pump can become a health hazard very quickly and will ultimately require service as soon as possible.
When a sump pump begins to fail, it is very common to hear loud, unfamiliar noises. If you start to hear foreign sounds like grinding or rattling, your sump pump’s impeller is likely jammed and will need to be repaired as soon as possible.
Oftentimes when a sump pump’s float switch is experiencing issues, it can cause adverse reactions in the overall system. If you notice that your pump is constantly running, or running at inappropriate times (i.e. when it’s not needed), this is a sign that something is wrong. You’ll need to call in our professionals as soon as possible for an expert repair diagnosis.
