1.Why is my sump pump making humming noises?

Perhaps you have been hearing low humming noises from your sump pump. Don’t freak out, that is totally normal. However, that doesn’t mean you have to neglect it. When these noises keep getting louder, or if you notice it isn’t pumping water, you should definitely run a check.

You can start with a simple step: check if the vent hole is clogged, if yes, you have to clean it. Next, you can check if the valve isn’t stuck and pointed to “discharge”.

Low humming noises are often occurring during the winter, due to low temperatures that causes frozen discharge pipes. In such scenarios you can use a space heater to melt the ice inside the pipes.

If none of the solutions above, aren’t much of a help, most probably you have a damaged impeller (the fan that sump pump uses to suck-up the water). It is highly recommended to call a plumber to deal with it, since it requires professional intervention.
