“If they’re not installed correctly, or secured to the wall the way they should be so when they kick on they kind of jump and vibrate, they’ll move around,” Hesson said. “The float will get hung up or the floats just go bad from day-to-day usage.”
He services sump pumps, cleans pipes and clears obstructed drains.

“If they want to be proactive and really help stay ahead of it, there’s a lot of security systems now [that] have water sensors,” he said. “They can actually wire into their whole house alarm.”
Your best bet is to hook your system up to your phone, which allows an app to tell you everything from when your system kicks on to if there’s a possible problem.
Hesson said if you wait until the last minute, a replacement can cost between $400 and $1,900.
