Frequently Asked Questions About
Sump Pumps
Primary sump pump lifespan in South Jersey is 7–10 years. High water tables and heavy rains cause constant cycling, often shortening that range if the unit is not properly maintained.
If repair costs exceed 50% of a new unit's price, replacement is the better investment. If annual repair costs exceed 10% of a new unit's cost, continued parts replacement is not worth it. Units over 7–10 years old face a high risk of repeated failures after an initial repair.
Constant running is often caused by a high water table, a stuck float switch, or a failing check valve allowing water to flow back into the pit.
Test the pump quarterly by pouring a bucket of water into the pit to ensure the float switch activates. Clean the pit of debris annually and check the exterior discharge line for blockages.
