How do I know if my sump pump is failing?

Oh, there are a few giveaways. If you hear strange noises, see water pooling where it shouldn't, or notice your pump isn't kicking in during heavy rains, it's time to give us a shout. These are classic signs that your sump pump is asking for help.

How often should a sump pump be replaced?

Generally, a sump pump has a good run of about 7-10 years. But this can vary based on how much it works and how well it’s maintained. If yours is getting up there in age, it might be time to think about a replacement.

Can I test my sump pump myself?

Absolutely! It’s pretty simple. Just pour a bucket of water into the sump pit until the pump turns on. If it kicks in and drains the water, you're in good shape. If not, well, you know who to call.

What maintenance does a sump pump need?

It loves a little TLC. Regularly cleaning the pump and the pit, checking the power source, and making sure the discharge line is clear can go a long way. Of course, if you're not into DIY, we're more than happy to take care of it for you.

Why is my sump pump running constantly?

If your sump pump is pulling an all-nighter, it could be a sign of a stuck switch or a too-small basin. Sometimes, it’s just working hard during heavy rains. But if it's running non-stop in normal conditions, it's best to get it checked out.

Cornwell plumbing was punctual, very respectful of my home and very thorough with my issue. Problem was corrected and they offered a long term solution that would take care of future issues from builder grade plumbing parts that were used. I had already looked into this option before it was offered by them. I was pleased that they offered and agreed. They came by and replace all the builder grade parts at a very reasonable price.
