Systems and methods for detecting and resolving sump pump failures

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer-readable instructions to be executed on one or more processors of a system for detecting and resolving impending failures in a sump pump, the instructions when executed causing the one or more processors to:

• determine a high water level in a sump basin in which the sump pump is disposed;
• determine if a current water level in the sump basin has surpassed the high water level, the current water level is determined by a water level sensor placed a short distance above the high water level;
• in response to determining that the current water level in the sump basin has surpassed the high water level, activate a mechanical shaker attached to the sump pump for one or more operating cycles;
• in response to determining that the current water in the sump basin has not surpassed the high water level, determine if a run time of a motor of the sump pump exceeds a certain length of time;
• and
• when the run time of the motor is determined to exceed the certain length of time, provide an alarm to notify a user.

A system for detecting and resolving impending failures in a sump pump, the system comprising:

• a sump pump;
• a water level sensor coupled to the sump pump;
• a mechanical shaker coupled to the sump pump;
• and
• a pump analyzer, including a memory having instructions for execution on one or more processors, the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the pump analyzer to:
• determine a high water level in a sump basin in which the sump pump is disposed;
• determine if a current water level in the sump basin has surpassed the high water level as determined by the water level sensor, the water level sensor placed a short distance above the high water level;
• in response to determining that the current water level in the sump basin has surpassed the high water level, activate the mechanical shaker for one or more operating cycles;
• in response to determining that the current water in the sump basin has not surpassed the high water level, determine if a run time of a motor of the sump pump exceeds a certain length of time;
• and
• when the run time of the motor is determined to exceed the certain length of time, provide an alarm to notify a user.
