How do I know if my sump pump needs to be replaced or just repaired?

Common signs that something is wrong include a pump that runs constantly, one that doesn't activate when water rises, unusual noises, or visible rust and damage. A Heaney plumber will inspect the unit and give you an honest assessment of whether a repair will solve the problem or if replacement makes more sense for your home.

Pump won't start: the unit fails to activate even when water rises in the pit.
Runs constantly or cycles rapidly: the pump turns on and off repeatedly or never seems to shut off.
Unusual grinding or noisy operation: strange sounds often signal a failing motor or impeller.
Visible rust or corrosion: an aging or corroded unit is more likely to fail when you need it most.
Water pooling near the pit despite a running pump: a sign the pump can't keep up with incoming water.
No existing sump pump before spring thaw or heavy rain: an unprotected basement is at risk during Southeast Michigan's wet seasons.
