New Jersey Sump Pump Repair Experts

A sump pump isn’t something most homeowners think about until it stops working. If you’ve noticed water collecting in your basement or your system hasn’t kicked on during recent storms, it may be time for a repair.  

At Arctic Air, we provide professional sump pump repair services across New Jersey to help protect your home from flooding and long-term water damage. 

Our licensed plumbers diagnose issues quickly and recommend the most effective fix, so your system can get back to doing what it’s supposed to do: keeping your home dry. 

Common Sump Pump Issues 

Sump pumps can wear out or malfunction over time, especially if they haven’t been serviced regularly.  

Common problems we repair include: 

• Pump doesn’t turn on when the pit fills with water 

• System runs constantly or cycles on and off too frequently 

• Loud noises like rattling, humming, or grinding during operation 

• Water isn’t being discharged properly through the outlet pipe 

• Pump won’t shut off even when water is gone 

• Float switch is stuck or unresponsive 

• Visible rust, corrosion, or debris in the basin 

If you're experiencing any of these problems, it’s best to have a plumber inspect the system before a minor issue turns into a major leak or flood. 

When to Call a Plumber 

It’s not always easy to tell if a sump pump needs repair or just some routine maintenance. But there are a few signs that it’s time to bring in a professional: 

• You notice water pooling in your basement or crawlspace 

• The sump pump isn’t turning on after a storm 

• Your home has a history of flooding, and the system isn’t responding 

• The power is on, but the pump won’t activate 

• You’ve recently had a backup or overflow 

• It’s been more than a year since the last service check 

A sump pump is your first line of defense against water damage. If it's not working right, it's better to be safe than sorry. 

How Sump Pumps Are Repaired 

Every situation is a little different, but most sump pump repairs follow one of these common approaches: 

• Float switch replacement if the sensor is stuck or faulty 

• Discharge pipe cleaning to clear blockages or frozen sections 

• Check valve replacement if water flows back into the pit 

• Pump motor repairs for humming or no-power issues 

• Debris removal from the sump pit to restore operation 

• Wiring checks to verify safe, consistent power to the system 

In some cases, replacing a worn-out sump pump is more cost-effective than continuing to repair an older or frequently failing unit. We’ll always walk you through your options before recommending a replacement.
