Before replacing your sump pump, let All-Ways Dry diagnose the problem. Many sump pump issues are repairable, float switch problems, check valve failures, and discharge line issues can often be fixed at a fraction of replacement cost.
We diagnose the actual problem before recommending repair or replacement.
We'll tell you honestly whether your pump needs repair or replacement. A pump over 7β8 years old that's having issues is often better replaced than repaired. A newer pump with a specific component failure can often be repaired economically.
Common repairable issues include stuck or improperly adjusted float switches, failed check valves that allow backflow, blocked intake screens, and discharge line problems. Motor failures in older pumps typically warrant replacement.
Common causes include a failed check valve allowing water to drain back into the pit, a discharge line that has become disconnected or blocked, or a pump that can't keep up with water volume. We'll diagnose the specific problem.
Constant running could indicate a high water table in your area during wet weather (normal), or a failed check valve causing the pump to cycle the same water repeatedly (abnormal). We'll diagnose which situation you have.
Pumps under 5 years old with specific component failures are good candidates for repair. Pumps over 7β8 years old with performance issues are often better replaced, you're likely near end of life anyway and replacing proactively avoids a failure during a storm.
We can help you troubleshoot basic issues over the phone, but most sump pump problems require an in-person assessment. Call us at (248) 572-7283 and we'll help you determine if it's an emergency or can wait for a scheduled visit.
