How to fix air locks in sump pumps.

⛑️ Sump Pump Problem? It Could Be an Air Lock! ⛑️

Ever had your sump pump stop working even though it’s powered up and ready to go?

It might not be broken… It could just have an air lock.

Here’s the deal: When air gets trapped in the discharge pipe, it can stop water from flowing out of your pump. Think of it like a stubborn bubble blocking the way.

But don’t worry – there’s a quick fix! 💡

👉 Drill a tiny 2-3mm hole in the discharge pipe, just above the pump’s wet end (where the pump sits in the water).

👉 Make sure the hole is before any check valves in the system.

👉 This allows air to escape, keeping water flowing smoothly and preventing your pump from going on strike.

📌 Bonus Tip: Regularly check your sump pump system to ensure the hole remains clear and functional.
