Listen for unusual noises such as grinding or rattling and watch for changes in cycling behaviour, which often signal mechanical wear or blockages. Other common signs include the pump running continuously, failing to start, tripped circuit breakers, or visible leaks and damp patches around the pump station. Foul odours from standing water or alarms indicating high water levels are further indicators of trouble. Reduced discharge flow during heavy rain suggests impaired performance. If you notice any of these symptoms arrange a professional inspection promptly to prevent overflow, mitigate property damage and avoid more costly repairs later. We offer immediate assistance.
