Hurricane season raises the stakes
A property with a below-grade utility area depends on a working sump pump specifically during the storms this coast sees most, which is exactly when a marginal pump is most likely to fail under real load.

What does a sump pump actually protect against, and when does it need service?
A sump pump moves groundwater that collects in a low point, a crawl space, or a below-grade area out and away from the structure before it accumulates into standing water. It sits mostly idle until water rises to trigger its float switch, which is exactly why a failure often goes unnoticed until the pump is actually needed during a storm.
Testing before the rainy season means confirming the float switch triggers at the right level, the check valve holds water in the discharge line rather than letting it drain back down, and the pump itself actually moves water at a reasonable rate rather than running weakly.
A battery backup, where one is installed, gets tested separately, since a pump that only works with power connected is not protecting anything during the exact kind of outage a storm is likely to cause.
Signs worth a call
What tells you a sump pump needs attention
A few checks reveal a lot before the next storm arrives.
The pump does not turn on as water rises
Testing the float switch by hand shows the pump not engaging when it should.
Water in the pit that never fully empties
The pump cycles but does not meaningfully reduce the water level over repeated attempts.
A pump running constantly with the pit already dry
The float switch stuck in the on position, running the motor without a real need.
A grinding or rattling sound during operation
Worn bearings or debris caught in the impeller, both of which get worse over time.
Water backing up near the pump instead of draining out
A clogged or frozen check valve preventing water from actually leaving through the discharge line.

Why sump pumps matter more on this coast
A few facts about storms and building types here raise the stakes on a working pump.
Power outages during storms
A battery backup matters more here than in areas with fewer storm-related outages, since a pump with only a wall-power connection is offline during the exact event it exists to handle.
Condo mechanical rooms with shared drainage
A sump system serving a building’s mechanical or parking level protects more than one unit at once, so testing it ahead of season is often coordinated directly with building management.

Encountering severe root intrusion in our main sewer line meant the entire pipe needed to be aggressively cleared and chemically treated. Applying a specialized foaming root killer guarantees the aggressive tree tendrils won't immediately…

Sump pump questions
How often should a sump pump be tested?
Before the start of rainy season is the minimum; a property with a history of standing water benefits from checking more often.
Do you install battery backups?
Yes, for a pump that does not already have one, or to replace a backup battery that has reached the end of its life.
How do I know if my pump has already failed?
Pour a bucket of water into the pit and watch. If the float does not trigger the pump, that tells you what you need to know.
Is this covered on the same 24/7 line as an emergency call?
Yes, a failed sump pump during active rain counts as urgent and gets routed the same way as any other emergency.
Can a sump pump be added where one does not exist?
In some cases, yes, depending on the property and where water tends to collect; that gets assessed on site before anything is quoted.
