Frozen Discharge Pipe Causes Sump Pump Failure in Homewood, IL
A homeowner in Homewood, Illinois, reached out to us after their sump pump suddenly stopped working.
Upon inspection, our technician discovered that the underground discharge pipe had frozen solid. With no way to expel water, the sump pump continued to run until it ultimately burned out.
To solve the issue, we re-routed the discharge pipe above ground to prevent future freezing and replaced the failed sump pump with a new one. The system is now operating efficiently and is protected from similar damage in the future.
