Your sump pump is your home’s first line of defense against flooding and water damage—especially in basements, crawl spaces, or low-lying areas. When it’s working properly, it quietly prevents excess water from building up during heavy rains or plumbing emergencies. But when it fails, the consequences can be severe.
If your sump pump isn’t working as it should, or you’ve recently experienced water pooling where it shouldn’t be, it’s time to call Bobby Blue Plumbing. We offer professional sump pump repair services throughout the Inland Empire, including San Bernardino, Riverside, Ontario, and Fontana.
A sump pump is typically installed in the lowest part of a basement or crawl space. It collects excess groundwater in a pit—called a sump basin—and automatically pumps it away from your home when water levels get too high.
These systems are especially important for homes in flood-prone areas or regions with poor soil drainage. When your sump pump is functioning correctly, it helps protect your home from:
Like any mechanical device, a sump pump can wear out or malfunction over time. Here are some common signs that your sump pump may need repair:
Strange Noises
Grinding, rattling, or clanking sounds can indicate mechanical failure or debris stuck in the pump.
Constant Running
If your pump runs nonstop—even when there’s no water—it may have a stuck switch, faulty float, or improper installation.
Failure to Activate
If water levels rise but the pump doesn’t turn on, there may be an electrical issue or a faulty float switch.
Water in the Basement
The most obvious—and urgent—sign of a sump pump problem is visible flooding or pooling water around your sump pit.
Bad Odors
Standing water or buildup inside the sump pit can lead to mold, mildew, or bacteria growth, resulting in foul smells.
If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Sump pump issues can go from bad to worse in a matter of hours—especially during storms or plumbing emergencies.
Sump pumps are reliable but not indestructible. Some common reasons your sump pump may stop working include:
