Signs Your Sump Pump Is Failing
Most sump pumps fail during heavy rain or snowmelt, which is exactly when you need them.
- The pump hums but does not move water
- It runs constantly, even when it is dry outside
- It turns on and off every few seconds
- Water is near the top of the pit
- Loud grinding or rattling
- The pump is more than about 7 to 10 years old
What to Do If the Pump Stops
1. Check that the pump is plugged in and the outlet or breaker has power. 2. Look for a stuck float switch and free it if it is safe to reach. 3. Clear debris from the pit and the intake screen. 4. If water keeps rising, move belongings off the floor and call.
Never stand in water to work on a pump that is plugged in.

If your basement is finished or you have had water before, ask about a battery backup pump. It keeps working when storms knock out power.
Why Sump Pumps Matter in York County
Many York County homes have basements, and spring rain, snowmelt and heavy summer storms can raise groundwater around the foundation. Homes near Codorus Creek and other low areas can see water faster. A working sump pump is the main line of defense.
Ask a local plumber about a new or backup sump pump.
