Pedestal Pump Reliability

Pedestal sump pumps are raised high out of the water, and they generate a great deal of vibration when they’re running.

These vibrations cause the sump pump to “wander” in the pit. If the pump drifts too close to the edges, the switch that turns the pump on and off may be jammed in an ON or OFF position, leading to problems. Additionally, the long line between the switch and pump clogs easily.
