Portland Plumber: Why Your Sump Pump Fails
It’s March—and in Portland, that means rain, rain, and more rain. As spring approaches, [company_name] recommends that Portland homeowners be prepared. No one wants a flooded basement or crawl space, so know what to look for to avoid possible sump pump failures.
What is the # 1 Cause of Sump Pump Failure?
The number one cause of sump pump failure is a faulty float switch. The sump pump’s float switch is like the brain that tells the sump pump when to do what it is supposed to do—remove excess water from areas of your home where it is not wanted. If the float switch is broken, your home could be in danger.
We also receive a lot of calls for sump pump basin replacements. Sump pump basins often become cracked or corroded from extensive rainwater, so it’s important to make sure they are in good working order. A far less frequent, but possible cause of sump pump failure, could be due to electrical shortages.
