  • Inspect the Float Switch: The float switch activates the pump when the water level rises. If the float gets stuck or damaged, it could cause the pump to stop working. Regular inspections ensure the switch functions properly.

  • Schedule Routine Professional Inspections: Annual inspections by a professional plumber can help identify any issues early on and prevent costly repairs down the line.
