Frequently Asked Questions About Waterproofing & Sump Pump Replacement Services

Find answers to common questions about when to replace your sump pump, how the replacement process works, and tips for maintaining your system.

Signs that your sump pump may need replacement include frequent cycling, flooding, loud or unusual noises, failure to turn on, visible rust, and water collecting in your basement drains and sump pit even when the pump is running. A malfunctioning float switch or an obstruction inside the pump can also cause issues. Additionally, poor waterproofing in your basement may lead to excessive moisture, putting extra strain on your sump pump. Vanguard only uses the highest quality materials to ensure long-term reliability.

Most sump pumps last 7–10 years with regular maintenance. However, if your basement has poor drainage or water is constantly seeping in, your sump pump may wear out faster. Proper waterproofing—such as interior drainage systems, sealants, and exterior waterproofing solutions—can reduce the amount of water reaching the sump pump, helping it last longer.

A primary sump pump removes daily water accumulation, while a backup sump pump (battery or water-powered) provides protection if the primary pump fails due to power outages or mechanical issues. Waterproofing measures, such as sealing foundation cracks and installing proper drainage systems, can prevent excess water from overwhelming your pump, reducing the risk of basement flooding.

If your sump pump is relatively new and has a minor issue, repairs may be an option. However, if it’s old, frequently malfunctions, or struggles during heavy rain, replacement is the best choice. If your basement experiences ongoing moisture problems despite a functioning sump pump, it may be time to invest in waterproofing solutions like a drain tile system or exterior waterproof coatings.

Yes! A battery backup sump pump is essential for homes prone to flooding or power outages, ensuring your basement stays dry even when the power goes out. Waterproofing solutions, such as French drains, vapor barriers, and exterior waterproofing, provide additional protection to keep your basement dry and your sump pump running efficiently. If you travel frequently, live in a flood-prone area, or have a high water table, combining a battery backup with waterproofing is the best way to safeguard your home.
