Common sump pump problems we can inspect

Pump will not turn on: The cause may be float switch failure, power supply, breaker/GFCI issue, pump age, stuck debris, pit conditions, or wiring concerns.

Pump runs constantly: A pump that never stops may be dealing with heavy groundwater, check valve problems, float issues, discharge problems, incorrect sizing, or a drainage condition that needs broader review.

Water stays in the pit: This can point to pump failure, float problems, blocked discharge, check valve issues, frozen discharge, or a pump that cannot keep up with incoming water.

Backup pump questions: Battery backup or secondary pump options may make sense for homes where power outages, heavy rain, or finished basement risk are concerns.

Basement water after rain: Water near the sump, floor drain, foundation wall, or mechanical room may involve sump pump performance, drainage, grading, waterproofing, or plumbing issues.

Repair, replace, or add backup protection?

The right recommendation depends on pump age, pit condition, discharge path, check valve, float operation, power supply, basement risk, past flooding, groundwater conditions, and whether the basement is finished.

Cornerstone can inspect the sump system and explain whether repair, replacement, backup pump planning, discharge improvements, drain work, or waterproofing coordination should be considered.
