Why a sump pump stops

Cause	What happens
The power goes out	With no battery backup, the pump stops exactly when a storm needs it most.
Float switch wears out	Stops triggering the pump at all.
Discharge line clogs	Ice or debris blocks it, sending water right back down.
An undersized pump	Can't keep pace with the pit filling.

Water sitting higher than normal in the pit, a pump that's running but not lowering the level, or a circuit breaker that keeps tripping.

Ask the crew about financing the part your policy leaves uncovered.

The part of a job insurance does not cover can go on a payment plan — the crew lays out the options at the first visit.
