A sump pump plays one of the most important roles in protecting your basement from water intrusion during periods of heavy rain. When a sump pump begins to fail, homeowners may quickly experience standing water, basement flooding, increased humidity, and damage to flooring or belongings.
Some common warning signs of sump pump problems include:
Strange noises or excessive vibration
Constant cycling
Failure to activate during heavy rain
Visible rust or corrosion
Water remaining in the sump pit
Unpleasant odors
Older systems struggling during storms
Heavy rain throughout Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania can put additional stress on sump pump systems, especially during spring and summer storm seasons.
