A sump pump that never shuts off has a switch or check valve problem. Here is the Provo guide.
The switch
A stuck float switch keeps the pump running even after the pit drains.
The check valve
A failed check valve lets discharged water flow back into the pit, restarting the pump.
The fix
Free the float or replace the check valve.
The call
A constantly running pump burns out fast. Call 888-217-3585 and Provo Plumbing Pros will match you with a Provo pro.
