Common Sump Pump Problems We Fix in London Ontario
London Ontario’s clay-heavy soil and high water table — particularly in neighbourhoods like Westmount, Pond Mills, and Riverbend — create demanding conditions for residential sump pump systems.
Here are the most common issues our team resolves:
Pump Running Constantly A sump pump that never shuts off is almost always fighting a waterlogged pressure tank, a failed check valve, or a float switch stuck in the on position. Left running, the motor will burn out and turn a simple repair into a full sump pump replacement.
No Response During Heavy Rain If your pump fails to activate when water enters the pit, the float switch may be stuck, the motor may have seized, or the electrical connection may have failed. This is the most dangerous sump pump failure — it leaves your basement completely unprotected during London Ontario’s heaviest rainfall events.
Water Backing Up Into the Pit If water is returning to the pit after the pump runs, the check valve has likely failed. Without a functioning check valve, the pump cycles repeatedly without ever fully clearing the pit — dramatically reducing motor life.
Unusual Noises Grinding, rattling, or gurgling sounds from your sump pump indicate worn bearings, a damaged impeller, or debris caught in the pump intake. These sounds are early warning signs — addressing them promptly prevents a complete motor failure.
Sump Pit Filling Too Quickly If your pit fills faster than the pump can clear it, either the pump is undersized for your water volume or the drainage tile feeding the pit is overwhelmed. Our team assesses both the pump capacity and the drainage system to find the right solution.
