The typical residential sump pump will last anywhere between 7 and 10 years. The overall lifespan of your pump depends on numerous factors, such as how often it runs and how much maintenance it regularly receives. Unfortunately, over the lifespan of your sump pump, it’s likely that you’ll need to get professional service from time to time to deal with issues that arise.
While getting repairs for your sump pump is always the first action you want to take, it’s also beneficial to be mindful of when a replacement will likely be necessary. If your sump pump is already over seven years old, it’s typically best to replace the entire unit instead of repairing it. Furthermore, if the repairs will cost one-half or more of the total cost of a new sump pump for your home, then it’s typically most advantageous to simply purchase a new replacement sump pump.
Some of the most common issues that homeowners experience that require sump pump repair service include:
Not turning on
Not pumping water
Not shutting off
Shortcycling
Another reason you may want to consider replacing your old sump pump is that it has visible corrosion. While sump pumps are specifically designed with rust-resistant materials because they spend their whole life underwater, eventually, that rust-resistant coating will wear off.
If not caught early enough, the corrosion can start to eat through the metal components of your sump pump, affecting its overall operating performance. Other signs that your sump pump likely needs replacement service in the near future include excessive vibrations, running for long periods, and an increase in strange noises during operation.
