Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Help
A sump pump sits quiet for weeks, then has to work hard in one storm. These are the signs it might not.
Water in the Pit and the Pump Won't Start
Check that it's plugged in and the breaker is on. If it still won't start, the switch, the float or the motor has failed. Call now if water is rising.
The Pump Runs and Won't Shut Off
A stuck float switch, or a check valve letting water fall back into the pit, can keep a pump running until it burns out.
It Cycles On and Off Every Few Minutes
Short cycling wears out the motor. A float set wrong or a bad check valve is often behind it.
Grinding, Rattling or Humming
Debris in the impeller or a worn motor makes noise before it quits.
Water in the Basement or Crawl Space With No Pump
Water that keeps coming back after rain calls for a sump pit and pump where there isn't one.
Repair, Replace or Add a Battery Backup
Clog Heroes repairs and replaces sump pumps, digs new pits and installs battery backup pumps, in basements and crawl spaces. On a repair, your technician checks the switch, the float and the check valve first. If the pump itself is worn out, you get a replacement price in writing too.

Great work done repairing sump pump drain pipe.
Clog Heroes installed a new sump pump system at home in Fredericksburg before we got all this snow. I'm so glad I did! In the past I would have been dealing with pulling water out of the crawlspace but not this year. After the snow and ice started melt I went to check the crawlspace and see how the sump pump was working and wow! Crawlspace was dry as a bone. These guys really did an amazing job! From start to finish they were professional, educated me each of the options, and install was super smooth. Thank you Clog Heroes!

After more than a week of living like a pioneer (boiling water, praying to the plumbing gods, and considering a permanent gym membership just for the showers), the legends at Clog Heroes Plumbing, Sewer & Drain came to the rescue! Not only did they install a shiny new water tank in my Bristow Va home (20136) like the heroes they are, but they also discovered our sump pump had gone to the great plumbing beyond—and the pipe was clogged like my inbox after a long weekend. Enter Jared and Austin, the dynamic duo who didn’t just fix things—they vanquished the plumbing chaos. Honest pricing, expert work, and actual human kindness? I didn’t know plumbers could be this wholesome. I can now shower in my own home without pretending I’m at the gym to “work out.” If your pipes are plotting against you, call Clog Heroes. They’ll save your sanity and your soap budget.

Sump Pump Guides From Clog Heroes
How Long Do Sump Pumps Last? 7 to 10 Years, and Five Signs Yours Is Near the End
Seven to 10 years is the usual life of a sump pump. How often yours runs, how it's built and how it's maintained decide where it lands in that range. A spring and fall check is the time to look for warning signs and replace a worn pump before the next storm.
A $20 Sump Pump Alarm Can Warn You Before the Basement Floods
For around $20 to $40, a basic sump pump alarm sounds a siren when water rises in the pit. Wi-Fi models, at $100 to $300, send the alert to your phone.
Does Your Crawl Space Need a Sump Pump? How One Keeps the Space Under Your House Dry
Rain, leaks and soil moisture all find their way into a crawl space, and damp air feeds mold. A sump pump collects that water in a pit and pumps it away from the foundation. More than one pump type can do the job.
