A sump pump that runs constantly, even when there’s minimal groundwater, indicates potential mechanical failure. In Victoria’s fluctuating water table conditions, this can signal impending system breakdown just when you need protection most.
Most common causes: Malfunctioning float switch, undersized pump for Victoria’s seasonal water volumes, or damaged check valve allowing water backflow.
When your sump pump fails to activate during Victoria’s infamous atmospheric river events or sustained winter downpours, basement flooding becomes imminent. These failures often occur when the system is most critical.
Most common causes: Power supply issues during storms, clogged intake screens from debris, seized pump motor from seasonal disuse, or electrical component failure due to moisture exposure.
Standing water around your sump pit or persistent basement humidity while the pump is operating indicates your system isn’t managing groundwater effectively. The region’s clay soil and seasonal precipitation patterns demand robust, properly-sized equipment.
Most common causes: Inadequate pump capacity for local soil conditions, blocked discharge lines, improper pit installation, or failed waterproofing integration.

Continuous operation during low-groundwater periods typically indicates a faulty float switch or check valve failure. Victoria’s clay soil can also create unique drainage patterns that affect normal cycling.
Signs you need a system upgrade include: slow water removal during moderate rainfall, frequent cycling during storms, or any basement moisture during typical Victoria weather patterns. Our technicians assess your system against local precipitation data and soil conditions.
The electrical shutoff is typically located on the circuit breaker panel, while the pump disconnect should be near the sump pit. Knowing these locations is critical for an effective emergency response.
Water intrusion while your pump is running often results from inadequate system capacity for Victoria’s seasonal water volumes, blocked discharge lines, or failed perimeter drainage integration. Our specialists can diagnose the specific cause and provide immediate solutions.
