Q. Do sump pumps have to be emptied?

A. Sump pumps must be cleaned every month. To accomplish this, physically remove a submersible pump from its pit and clean the grate on the bottom. Because the pump can suck small stones into the grate, cleaning it will ensure that the inlet isn't clogged which can eventually damage the pump.

Q. Can a submersible sump pump run continuously?

A. Sump pumps can run continuously for various reasons, including system failure, a high water table or a plumbing problem. One of the most common causes of sump pump failure is when the system begins to run continuously.

Q. What is the need for a sump pump?

A. The sump pump prevents groundwater from rising to the level of your basement floor by removing water from the pit and draining it into a nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond.
