A Working Pump Needs a Clear Path for Water

A sump pump moves water collected in a pit through a discharge pipe to an outlet. A float switch starts a sump pump as the water in the pit rises. A check valve helps prevent discharged water from flowing back into the pit after a sump pump shuts off.

A problem with sump controls or discharge piping may remain unresolved after a pump replacement. Water returning to a sump pit after shutdown is a reason to assess the connected piping and check valve before choosing a new pump.

Describe the Symptoms Before Choosing the Work

Signs of a sump pump concern include a rising pit with a silent pump, new humming or grinding, frequent restarting, or a pump running without lowering the water. Describe when the sump pump problem occurs and any previous sump repairs when arranging service.

Ask which sump components need attention and how the proposed work addresses the reported symptoms. Discuss the sump pit, controls and discharge route before agreeing to a replacement or new installation. Stay clear of wet electrical equipment while waiting for sump pump service.

Sump Pump Options for Your Naperville Home

Repair an Existing Installation

Sump pump starting or drainage problems can involve the pump, controls or discharge route. Describe the sump pump's behavior when requesting service from Roto-Rooter. You do not need to identify a failed sump component before calling for help.

Decide When Replacement Makes Sense

A failed sump pump or repeated pump trouble can make replacement worth considering. A sump pump replacement recommendation should account for the fault, equipment condition and demands of the installation. Ask how a proposed replacement pump fits the existing pit and discharge route.

Plan a New Sump Pump Installation

A new sump installation starts with identifying where unwanted water enters a home and how the water could reach a collection pit. A sump pump removes water that reaches the pit. The location of a new sump pit and the route carrying water outside are important parts of planning an installation.

Where Sump Water Goes in Naperville

Naperville directs sump pump discharge outside the house rather than into the sanitary sewer. Sanitary sewers carry wastewater, and a sump connection adds extra water to the sewage system. Ask where the discharge pipe will drain when discussing a new sump installation or changes to existing piping.

A floor-drain sewer backup requires a different assessment from water rising in a sump pit. Naperville asks residents to notify its Water Utility first when sewage backs up through a floor drain or the sewer leaving a home, particularly during heavy rain. Naperville's Water Utility can determine whether a sewer backup involves the public main. Consult Naperville's sanitary sewer backup guidance for a backup through a floor drain or building sewer.

A sump pump removes collected water but does not correct every source of water entry or a sewer backup.

Rain, Thaws and Freezing Weather

Rain and melting snow can add water around a property, while the home's drainage affects how much water reaches a sump pit. After a storm or thaw, note whether your sump pump lowers the water in the pit and shuts off normally. Frequent sump pump operation alone does not establish that the pump has failed.

Ice can obstruct an exterior sump discharge route, and freezing can damage discharge piping. Naperville prohibits directing sump discharge onto a sidewalk or street. Report the discharge outlet's location and any icing or ponding when discussing sump pump repair or installation. Avoid handling sump pump equipment or wiring in wet conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should I contact if water backs up through a Naperville floor drain?

A sewer backup through a Naperville floor drain should be reported to the City's Water Utility first, particularly during heavy rain. Naperville's Water Utility can check whether the public sewer main is involved. Water rising inside a sump pit requires a separate assessment of the sump system.

Should a Naperville sump pump drain into the sanitary sewer?

A Naperville sump pump should discharge outside the house rather than into the sanitary sewer. Have an unclear sump discharge route assessed before changing the pipe connection.

Why might my sump pump run more after rain or a thaw?

A sump pump may run more after rain or a thaw because rainwater and melting snow can increase the water reaching the collection pit. Frequent sump pump operation alone does not mean the pump needs replacement. Report whether your sump pump lowers the water normally after starting.

Can freezing weather affect my Naperville sump pump discharge?

Freezing weather can obstruct a Naperville sump pump discharge route with ice and damage exterior piping. A sump pump that runs without emptying the pit needs an assessment of the pump and discharge route. Report any icing around the sump outlet when requesting service.

Can I send sump pump water onto a Naperville sidewalk or street?

Naperville prohibits directing sump pump water onto a sidewalk or street. Describe where your sump discharge outlet drains when arranging service, especially if discharged water ponds or freezes along the route.
