If possible, unplug the pump to prevent electrical hazards. Try to remove standing water using a wet-dry vacuum or buckets if safe to do so. Then call us for emergency service. If water is actively flooding in and you can’t manage it, you may need to contact a water removal service while we work on pump repair.
Regular testing and maintenance prevent many sump pump failures. Test your pump monthly by pouring water into the pit. Have annual professional inspections that check the float switch, discharge line, and overall operation. Keep the pit clean and free of debris.
