Everything you need to know about sump pump failure
Sump pump failure is a reality of life. Like any mechanical object, it has moving and electrical parts that can fail over time. The biggest things to look out for are the float switches and electrical cords. Many sump pumps fail not because the pump failed, but because the switch telling it to turn on or off failed.
Sump pumps can be repaired in some instances. In other instances, it is more appropriate to replace the pump. We'll go over the different things that can go wrong with your pump and what to do about them in this video.

Thank you!

I just replaced mine and forgot to drill bleeder hole on PVC. 😅

[@Therealsealllc]

Luckily, it's fairly easy to still do. You can remove the check valve, pull the pump out, drill the bleeder hole, and then replace the pump in the pit and reinstall the check valve. If you're handy, should only take 15 min or so.
