Sump pumps last about seven to ten years, and they often fail without warning. Here is how Beaumont homeowners can know when to replace one.

Test it first
Pour a bucket of water into the pit and watch. If the pump does not start, runs without pumping, or will not shut off, it needs attention.
Choose the right pump
Match the pump to your pit and water volume. A primary pump with a battery backup is the most reliable setup for Orange County basements.
