The total cost to repair your sump pump will depend on several factors, including:

• Labour Costs - the cost to repair a sump pump will depend on the Devon plumbing company you hire. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for when it comes to sump pump repairs. Hiring a professional may cost more upfront but an experienced plumber will get the job done right - the first time. Therefore, you’ll save money in the long run.

Wondering what could cause your sump pump to fail? Here are some of the most common reasons for sump pump failure in Devon.

• Power outage - this is one of the most common reasons for sump pump failure. To ensure your sump pump is working when you need it most, consider using a backup generator.
• Stuck switch - this can occur if the float becomes lodged against the side of the pump or debris gets stuck under the float. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prevent this from happening.
• Clogged or frozen discharge pipe - if your sump pump discharge pipe is clogged or frozen, the water will flow back into your basement and can cause flooding.
• Old age - most sump pumps last about 10 years. To guarantee that your sump pump won’t fail, it’s important to install a new sump pump in your home every 10 years or so. An experienced plumber can help you determine whether you need a new sump pump.
• Irregular maintenance - like other appliances in your home, a sump pump requires regular maintenance. Be sure to schedule regular maintenance and cleaning to help avoid failure and increase the lifespan of your sump pump.
• Improper installation - if your sump pump is not installed properly, it will surely fail, resulting in unnecessary damage and a huge headache! This is why it’s important to hire a professional Devon sump pump installation company to install your sump pump.
