A sump pump is a system that consists of a tank and a pump. The tank is located beneath the ground, typically in your basement. Water flows into the tank, which can usually hold between 15-25 gallons, and is stored until it reaches a certain level. Once it reached the desired level, the pump begins moving the water to a safe distance away from your home. Sump pumps are a crucial system to have in place if your home is prone to flooding.
The most common reason your sump pump has stopped working is due to electrical issues. This could mean a power outage, a blown circuit breaker, or having too many items plugged in at once. Other common reasons for sump pump problems could be incorrect sizing, switch issues, or faulty installation.
