Signs that You Need to Repair or Replace Your Sewage Pump

Your Pump Won’t Start (or Struggles)

Like any variety of submersible pump, a sewage pump that will not start or struggles to start needs an inspection as soon as possible. When dealing with raw sewage, it’s important that your pump simply work as needed and immediately when needed. Any deviation from that should warrant a call to us for an inspection.

Your Pump is Always Running

A sewage pump does not always need to run. It typically employs some type of float switch that will trigger it when needed. However, a broken pump (or broken float) will cause your pump to constantly cycle. Like any piece of machinery that isn’t meant to always run, it will eventually break down through constant use.

If you notice your pump is running constantly or much more than usual, then we’d suggest you call us out for an inspection. The issue could be as simple as a problem with your float switch or it could be something else; it’s hard to see until we can take a look.

Your Pump is Making Strange Noises

No pump on earth is completely silent. However, as a septic system owner, you should be acquainted with the typical sounds of your system. Yes, you should be able to hear your pump when it’s running; that’s totally normal.

However, if your pump suddenly begins to sound different, then there is more than likely an issue with its operation. Rather than try to describe a “bad” sound, we’d suggest calling us any time your pump sounds different than normal.
