What is the common reason for sump pump failure in homes?

The most common reasons are a stuck float/switch and a clogged discharge line. These issues often lead to continuous running or a failure to start. Addressing the switch and drain line fixes many problems in Austin-area homes we service.

Quick checks:

• Make sure the float/switch moves freely in the pit.
• Clear obstructions at the discharge pipe outlet.
• Note unusual noises or excessive vibration.
