Common Sump Pump Problems We Fix
Sump Pump Won't Turn On
If your pump fails to activate during a storm, it could be a float switch failure, a blown fuse, or a burned-out motor. We diagnose the exact cause and restore your protection fast.
Pump Runs Continuously
A sump pump that never shuts off is usually dealing with a stuck float switch, a broken check valve, or a system that is undersized for the volume of water it is handling. We identify the root cause and fix it properly.
Basement Still Flooding
If water is still getting in despite having a pump, the unit may be improperly positioned, undersized, or clogged. Our team will inspect your entire system and recommend the right solution.
Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure
Most sump pump failures don’t happen overnight — they build up over time. Here are the most common reasons pumps stop working:
Power outage during heavy storms
Float switch stuck due to debris
Clogged intake screen or discharge pipe
Old or undersized pump for the space
No routine maintenance over the years
Frozen or blocked discharge line outside

Types of Sump Pumps We Install & Service
Not all sump pumps are the same, and choosing the right type for your home makes a big difference in performance and reliability. Our team will walk you through the options and recommend the best fit for your basement and water table conditions:
- Submersible Sump Pumps Installed inside the pit and submerged in water, these are the most common and efficient option for most homes. They run quietly and handle high water volumes with ease.
- Pedestal Sump Pumps The motor sits above the pit on a pedestal, making it easier to access and service. A good option for narrower pits and lighter water flow situations.
- Battery Backup Sump Pumps A critical safety net that activates automatically during a power outage. Highly recommended for Northeast Ohio homeowners where storms and power cuts often happen together.
- Combination Pump Systems A primary submersible pump paired with a battery backup unit for double the protection and complete peace of mind year-round.

Prevent Future Sump Pump Problems with Routine Maintenance
The best way to avoid a sump pump failure is to never let it go unchecked. Orlove’s Plumbing recommends testing your sump pump at least once a year — especially before the spring rainy season — by slowly pouring water into the pit and making sure the float rises and the pump activates correctly. You should also check that the discharge line is clear and directing water well away from your home’s foundation.
Cleaning the intake screen every few months prevents debris from clogging the unit, and checking the power cord and outlet for any signs of wear can prevent electrical failures at the worst possible moment. If your pump is approaching the 7 to 10 year mark, scheduling a professional inspection is strongly recommended. Catching a problem early is always far less expensive than dealing with a flooded basement after a failure. Our team is here to help keep your system in top condition all year long.
