When the Pump Does Not Start
The float switch responds to the water level and tells the pump when to run. A restricted float, an electrical supply problem or a failed component can leave water in the pit. These possibilities require different repairs; the symptom alone does not establish that the whole unit is finished.
Keep away from water that may contact electrical equipment. You do not need to reach into the pit or handle a cord to request help.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a larger motor the answer to rising water?
Not necessarily. The incoming water and discharge route must be considered along with the pump's condition.
Can a sump pump keep all water out of my property?
No. It removes water collected in its pit and cannot address every water-entry problem.
What does the float switch do?
The float rises and falls with the water and controls when an automatic sump pump starts and stops.
Can I reach into the pit to free the float?
Do not handle electrical equipment around standing water. Request service if the pump is not responding.
Does a silent sump pump always need replacement?
No. The control, power supply and pump condition need assessment before a replacement decision.
