It then moves the water away from the property through a network of pipes, protecting your property from structural damage and saving money on premiums.

So, if there is an issue with your sump pump, get it checked immediately from Plumber Torquay to avoid the nightmare of your basement filling up with water.

Symptoms That Sump Pump is Not Functioning Properly

1. Making Loud or Weird Noises

Generally, a sump pump makes a low humming noise or a slight thumping noise when the pump turns off but if it starts making loud and unusual noises, then it indicates that it is time for a repair.

The bearing of the pump might be burnt or about to fail completely, or the impeller might be jammed or damaged.

A professional like the Plumbers in Torquay might be able to do a quick repair job but if the bearing is damaged, the pump would need to be replaced.

2. The Pump is Not Turning on and is Odd When it Should

If your sump pump is not turning on then it might be for a variety of reasons but if you are lucky then a quick repair job by Geelong Plumbers will fix the problem.

Most of the time it is because of stuck float switches as these switches are prone to get stuck.

Sometimes, the pump keeps cycling and does not turn off or it takes longer than usual to do the job.  All of this happens if there is a problem with the pump’s float or switch.

3. Pump Looks, Rusty

Sometimes you can see some discoloration that looks like rust which could be a sign of potential damage.

While that might be due to battery corrosion as the pump works with water but sometimes it might also be due to bacteria growth which feeds in iron in a water supply.

This creates rusty residue which can clog up working parts so if you spot such a problem immediately get the matter looked into by plumber Torquay otherwise the pump could overheat or break down.

4. The Pump Has Excessive Vibrations

If the impeller is damaged then it will cause noise and vibration. The impeller is damaged or bent if any hard debris gets into the sump pump and if damaged or bent it will go off-balance.

Impeller blades are very hard to bend back into place so you would have to replace your pump and for that, you would need to contact a plumber in Torquay.

If your sump pump is showing any of these signs and you are unable to identify what is wrong, then it is important to contact plumber Geelong to avoid further problems in the future, like any other appliance like a water heater, your sump pump also needs regular maintenance so that you are not left high and dry when you need it the most.

5. Infrequent or Irregular Usage

If you’re noticing that your sump pump is not functioning properly, it might be due to one of several reasons.

One common reason is infrequent or irregular usage. If your pump has not been used in a while, it may need to be primed before it can start working again

Conclusion

In conclusion, if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, it is important to contact a professional to inspect your sump pump. A malfunctioning sump pump can lead to extensive and costly damage to your home.
