What should I do if my sump pump is not working

[@samisonitulikihakau6540]

Lifesaver! Thanks! I tried everything and I saw you said to try and shake the tubes. It worked. Appreciate it

I live in Chicago. We have the deep tunnel.

Lol.. "sometimes villages will let you use a normal outlet". My village code enforcement says no.. ha!

[@BJPoznecki]

Yeah I know. Not that I want to tell anybody to deviate, however I always tell my customers “if this was my house” I would remove the GFI and install a standard 15 amp outlet, as well as a battery back up sump pump as an added layer of security. 😉😉

If the basement or whatever you call it is FULLY submerged by a backup and primary sump pump failure, wouldn’t the circuit breakers fail to?

[@BJPoznecki]

If you mean, the basement is completely underwater all the way up to the first floor then the circuit breaker should trip however, sometimes one off scenarios can happen. In a case like that you’ll want to get a professional contractor involved.
