What Are the Most Common Causes of Sump Pump Overflows?

If your sump pump overflows, you may notice a wet floor or standing water in your basement. Sump pump overflows happen when the pump has reached its capacity and is unable to push out any more water.

There are several possible causes, including:

• Power outages
• Built-up residue and debris that blocks the pump and prevents it from pumping water out of the basin
• Outdoor debris blocking the drainage pipe and preventing water from flowing freely

What Do You Do When Your Sump Pump Overflows?

Sump pumps are meant to prevent flooding and excessive water damage. But what happens when your sump pump starts overflowing?

Complete the following steps:

• Check the Power Source: Ensure that no fuse has blow or circuit has tripped. Look for problems with the wiring or outlet.
• Unplug the Pump Momentarily: Wait a few minutes after unplugging your unit. Plug it back in and see if the reset fixes the problem. You may want to have your unit inspected even if this succeeds.
• Check the Float Switch: The float should be able to move around. If it is under the surface, it may be split open and will need to be replaced. If it is lodged in place, move it until it floats freely.
• Inspect the Overflow Valve: This valve keeps water out once it has been pumped out. Check for and remove any blockage.
• Unblock the Weep Hole: If you have a small relief hole between the overflow valve and the discharge line, it may be blocked with dirt or debris.
• Check the Impeller and Basin for Clogs: Open up the bottom of the pump and make sure the impeller is rotating freely. Remove any debris if not. Check the basin for any foreign objects that could be impeding the unit.
• Inspect the Discharge Pipe: Like any pipe, these can get clogged up over time. Check for clogs or damage and clean out the pipe if possible.
• Evaluate the Size of Your Unit: An incorrectly sized unit will not be able to keep up with the amount of water it is forced to pump out. If you live in a larger home or an area prone to flooding, a 1/3 HP pump may need to be upgraded to a 1/2 HP or 3/4 HP pump.

There are steps you can take to help prevent flooding. If this still doesn't help, reach out to our experienced plumbers for assistance.
