Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Attention
Act on these before the next storm:
It Kicks On Every Few Minutes in Spring
That's normal in wet weather, but a pump that's working that hard wears out sooner. Know how old yours is.
It Hums and the Water Keeps Rising
The motor is running, but the impeller is jammed or broken.
The Discharge Line Is Frozen or Crushed
If water can't get out of the pipe, the pump can't empty the pit.
It's the Original Pump
Most sump pumps last around 7 to 10 years. A pump from when the house was built is overdue.
Sump Pumps in Tinley Park Homes
On April 18, 2013, heavy overnight rain closed several Tinley Park streets, and residents reported flooded basements. The same night, ComEd outages hit about 300 customers near Duvan Drive and 175th Street and along Wyman and Nielsen drives.
Storms Knock Out Power
A sump pump without power is a pump that isn't running. A battery backup keeps the pit from overflowing until power comes back.
Subdivisions Built With Sump Pits
Many Tinley Park homes built since the 1970s drain foundation water to a sump pit. That makes the pump one of the most important pieces of equipment in the house.
Original Pumps Are Long Overdue
In a subdivision from the 1980s or 1990s, an original pump would be well past its expected life. If you don't know when yours was replaced, assume it's time to check.
