Why Do You Need a Sump Pump in Your Home?

Commonly located in the basement of your home, a sump pump is used to remove water that has accumulated in a sump basin or pit. These basins, or pits, help manage surface runoff water while recharging underground aquifers. Often placed in the lowest part of the basement, sump pumps help keep your basement dry and prevent flooding.

According to American Society of Home Inspectors, 60% of American homes experience moisture in the basement and even more homeowners experience basement flooding. Sump pumps are proven beneficial to prevent mold and mildew that can cause health problems such as asthma and other respiratory issues. They are also responsible for the prevention of flooding and water damage that would cost thousands of dollars to fix.

What Are the Different Types of Pumps?

There are two different types of main sump pumps that are available to homeowners, two types of backup sump pumps, a combination sump pump, and a sewage sump pump.

  • Submersible sump pumps are placed under water in the sump basin and last between 5 to 15 years. Even though it will not last as long as a pedestal pump and it is pricier, submersible sump pumps will take up debris without clogging.
  • Pedestal sump pumps are less expensive and easier to move than the submersible pumps. If installed properly and kept free from debris, these pumps will last from 25 to 30 years. A pedestal pump has the motor mounted above the sump. This placement makes it easier to repair.
  • Battery backup sump pumps are used in the event of a power outage when electrical powered ones, such as submersible and pedestal ones, are unable to work. Battery operated, this pump kicks in as soon as the power goes out and helps keep your basement dry.
  • Water backup sump pumps operate the same way as battery operated ones without having to rely on a battery. Like the battery operated pumps, water powered sump pumps are automatic independent systems from the primary sump pumps.
  • Combination sump pumps combine a primary sump pump with a battery backup. This combination gives homeowners peace of mind without having to purchase a second unit.
  • Sewage sump pumps are mostly used to pump effluent sewage waste from the home and into the sewage system.

What Are Some Common Problems?

There are several common problems found with having a sump pump, including:

  • Old sump pumps that need to be replaced.
  • Frozen discharge sump pipes that happen during harsh winter weather.
  • An overwhelmed sump pump that cannot keep up with a high volume of water.
  • Power failure without a backup sump pump.
  • Stuck sump pump switches.

Sump Pump Frequently Asked Questions

A sump pump helps keep your basement dry by pumping out water that gathers in a pit, especially during heavy rain or when the water table rises. It’s your first line of defense against flooding, dampness, and costly structural damage.

 If your basement or crawl space tends to collect water—or you’re worried about flooding, mold, or foundation damage—a sump pump is a smart, proactive step. It keeps your home protected, safe, and dry.

Some frequent problems include pumps that run constantly, frozen discharge pipes, outdated units, power outages without backups, or stuck float switches. We’re here to help diagnose and fix these problems fast.

Test your pump a few times a year—especially before heavy rain. Pour a bucket of water into the pit to check that it turns on and off properly. Regular maintenance helps avoid surprises when you need it most.

That could mean a stuck float switch, a clog in the discharge line, or that your pump is undersized. One of our licensed plumbers can take a look and get it sorted out quickly.

Most sump pumps last around 10 years. If yours is older, making strange noises, or struggling during storms, it might be time for an upgrade to a more efficient and reliable model.

Absolutely. Power outages and pump failures can happen during storms—the exact moment you need your system most. A battery or water-powered backup pump adds a critical layer of protection.

Always direct discharge water well away from your home’s foundation—never into the sewer. A proper drainage line will help prevent flooding and ensure your system is up to code.

Give Nixco Plumbing a call, we’re happy to inspect, repair, or upgrade your sump pump to keep your home dry and protected year-round.

Our technician Shawn Crank showed up right on time and diagnosed and explained the situation of the sewer back up in the kitchen. He then fixed the flooded sink and to my surprise cleaned the kitchen sink, counter and floor. I was extremely pleased and can only recommend Shawn with NixCo. Plumbing. He went over and beyond of my expectations.

We experienced a water backup in the kitchen sink after not being in the home for almost 3 weeks. The kitchen was mostly flooded and the water seeped into the carpet of the dining and living rooms in the open concept condo. A neighbor recommended Nixco. We come down from Michigan, so were glad to get a recommendation. We called them and they sent Shawn out. Shawn was super friendly and professional! He saw the mess and also arranged for a restoration company right away. Shawn and his collegue did a wonderful job explaining what happened, fixing the issue, cleaning up and making sure that everything was left perfectly, including making us feel comfortable with the process! I would highly recommend Nixco, and especially Shawn! Thank you, guys!!

Nathan and Paddy came out to replace a pinched water pipe below my garage. They arrived when scheduled and completed it in one day, like they planned. They were both friendly and answered any questions I had. The job entailed jackhammering through the cement floor and digging about 4.5 feet down. They dealt with the challenges of the task. My water volume and pressure is now outstanding. As for the price, my condo association paid for it, so I have no knowledge.

John, Jason & Greg came and fixed our sump pump lines that lead to the storm sewer. After they assessed our situation they came bk with a back hoe in a timely manner . They did an exceptional job! All 3 were very conscientious, extremely polite & professional and were able to fix our sump pump lines in the front yard. They operated a back hoe & even saved our sod! Once everything was finished they put everything back and our yard looks great w the sod placed back over the giant ditch they had to make. The new sump pump lines are operating perfectly. I would highly recommend Nixco Plumbing!

We were thoroughly impressed with Nixco and their service technician, Chris McClure! We talked to Becky (the receptionist) at Nixco and requested Chris, due to wonderful reviews online he had for his work! Becky had Chris scheduled to be at our house the very next morning. Our kitchen sink was completely plugged up, and he finally had to go up on the roof and unplug the line from there. We are very grateful to Chris, and highly recommend him if you have plumbing needs!

We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. They came out the same day to assess our leaking main water line and provided a very competitive price. The work was scheduled for the following week and completed efficiently. Todd, the plumber, did an excellent job overseeing the entire project and crew. The main line—from the meter to the washer room (main valve)—was replaced in just one day. Other reputable companies we contacted estimated it would take up to three days (with no water during that time) and quoted prices about 20% higher. We were also impressed with the responsive and helpful office staff. Todd and the entire crew were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. This company clearly has the right people, expertise, and equipment, and they deliver top-notch service at a great value. Other small businesses should take a note.
