Common Sump Pump Problems
A pump that won’t activate is often caused by a stuck or failed float switch, a tripped breaker, or a burned-out motor.
A pump that runs nonstop may have a float switch stuck in the on position, a check valve that’s allowing water to flow back into the pit, or an undersized pump that can’t keep up with the water volume.
Unusual noises like grinding or rattling can indicate a damaged impeller or debris inside the pump housing. A sump pump that cycles on and off rapidly may have a float switch set too close to the pump’s activation point.
What We Do
We inspect the pump, float switch, check valve, and discharge line to find the failure point. Depending on the issue, we repair or replace the failed component.
If the pump motor has burned out or the unit is aging and unreliable, we’ll recommend replacement and can install a new pump with a battery backup for added protection.
We test the repaired system by filling the pit to make sure the pump activates at the correct level and shuts off properly.
Serving Gwinnett County and Metro Atlanta
Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta repairs sump pumps throughout Gwinnett County, including Lilburn, Sugar Hill, Duluth, and Norcross.

Sump pump failures are most often discovered during the first major storm of the season, which is why we recommend testing your pump before storm season begins.
