Overactive Sump Pump
Submitted by Sammy G on Mon, 05/05/2008 - 07:10.My sump pump has been crazy overactive since the ground unfroze this spring (spring technically begins in late March, but it almost snowed last weekend). Every 45 minutes, the sump pump is going off and spewing out approximately 5 gallons of water into the backyard through the exhaust tubing. Normally, this would make me feel secure, especially after a rainstorm. However, regardless of the weather, the sump pump has been going off, like clockwork every 45 minutes. That doesn't make me feel secure.
Anyone have any experience they could share? Like before my basement floods?
