Know the Signs

Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Attention

Don't wait for the next storm:

It Doesn't Start When Tested

Pour water in the pit. No start means a float or motor problem.

It Runs Without Stopping

A stuck float, a failed check valve or a pump that's too small.

Loud Grinding

Worn bearings or debris in the impeller.

There's No Backup

A storm that knocks out power leaves you unprotected.

Local Knowledge

Sump Pumps in Geneva Basements

In September 2008, about 9 inches of rain fell on Geneva in two days, and basements flooded across much of Kane County.

Old Foundations, Added Pits

Many historic homes had sump pits added long after they were built. Some are small or shallow and struggle in a big storm.

Newer Homes, Original Pumps

More than 4 in 10 homes were built after 1990. Many still have their original builder-grade pumps, and those are past their prime.

Battery Backups

Storms knock out power. A backup keeps pumping when the main pump can't.

Discharge Away From the House

A short or frozen discharge line sends water right back to the foundation.

Sump Pump Questions From Geneva Homeowners

Outside, away from the foundation.

Outside, onto the yard or into a storm line, far enough from the house that it doesn't soak back in. Never into the sanitary sewer.
