Noisy Sump Pump

My sump pump is noisier than usual . HOW DO I FIX THIS?

1. Seems like it's been running all day (it rained alot last night) water is still flowing outside but i'm not sure how fast it is supposed to flow? Also the pit (right nomenclature?) is nearly dry, just an inch or so of water in it.

2. Why are there pieces of wood in the pit? I never looked in there but there were several pieces of 2x4 or whatever just sitting in there. Should I remove them?

success.

I took the sump pump out, it was running even outside of water.

So I unplugged it, and beat it like a red headed step child.

Re-submersed, after some "trial and error", found the right spot, poured a few buckets of water in there, it pumped the water out and shut off.

Thanks for the help.

How old is it? If old I'd replace it. The worst time to find out you need a new one is when it fails.

10 years old.

Replacing - degree of difficulty?

See if you can find it with this link. & yes I do think some have the float built attached to the pump. if its working & the basement is staying dry? I wouldn't worry about it. When the bearing goes you will here it. or if the motor goes you will see water fill the trap or sump

Dunno without seeing it. You said you took it out and beat it. That tells me it would be easy to replace.

In my experience beating something 10 years old just to make it work again is a short time fix. Especially if you're talking about a finished basement and you consider the consequences of it failing when you aren't around.

I've installed two sump pumps... 1 in the main well and 1 in our window well. If you plan on installing a new one, be prepared to cut some pipe and I would highly suggest ditching the wood. Placing river rock under the unit will help filter the water before it reaches the pump. A flat stone or a brick placed directly under the pump will help keep the unit level. This will reduce the risk of the pump getting off-center and having the float get stuck on something.

It probably just needs lubricated. Easiest way to do that is change your motor oil and that of all your neighbors. Dump the used oil around your foundation.
