If water pools in your basement or crawl space during storms, you need a sump pump to remove water before it causes damage. We'll assess your drainage situation, install the sump pit at the lowest point, and set up a pump system that automatically removes water to protect your home.
The average sump pump lifespan is about 10 years. If your pump is approaching that age and experiencing frequent issues, making strange noises, or has stopped working, it's time for replacement. We'll remove your old pump and install a new, reliable system.
If your home experiences severe flooding or your primary pump has failed during a power outage, a backup sump pump provides critical protection. Battery backup systems kick in when the power goes out or when your primary pump can't keep up with heavy water flow.
If your sump pump runs constantly even when there's no water in the pit, cycles irregularly, or doesn't turn on when water accumulates, it was likely installed incorrectly. We'll assess the system, identify installation problems like incorrect float switch placement or improper discharge line setup, and either correct it or replace it with proper installation.
Building a new home or adding basement finishing? Installing a sump pump from the start protects against future water problems. We'll determine the best location for the sump pit, install the complete system including proper discharge routing, and test it to ensure your home stays dry.

Stop worrying about basement floods and water damage. With your new sump pump installed, you'll have reliable protection against water intrusion, safeguarding your foundation, belongings, and peace of mind.
Yes. Professional installation ensures the sump pump works reliably when you need it. Installing a sump pump requires digging the sump pit at the correct depth in your basement floor, positioning the sump basin with proper gravel fill, connecting the discharge pipe to direct water away from your foundation, installing a check valve, and ensuring proper electrical connections.
Our plumbers have the tools and expertise to install the basin in concrete or dirt floor, position submersible pumps or pedestal sump pumps correctly in the sump pit location, and verify proper operation.
It depends on how much water accumulates, how quickly water enters during storms, and the vertical distance water must travel through the discharge pipe. Most sump pumps for residential use range from one-third to one-half horsepower. Typical sump basins are 18 to 24 inches in diameter and 24 inches deep.
We'll evaluate your drainage situation, determine the best sump pump location, and recommend whether submersible pumps or pedestal sump pumps work better for your needs.
If your basement floods easily, you store valuable items below ground, or you've experienced pump failure during power outages, a backup system provides critical protection. Battery backup sump pumps activate when your primary pump fails or the power source goes out, preventing water damage during storms.
Many homeowners install backup pumps for peace of mind, especially if they travel frequently or basement flooding would cause significant damage.
The average sump pump lifespan is about 10 years. Submersible pumps that sit in water constantly may have shorter lifespans than pedestal pumps with motors mounted above the sump basin.
Once your sump pump approaches 10 years old and starts experiencing issues like irregular cycling, strange noises from the motor, a stuck float switch, or failure to activate when water collects in the sump pit, replacement is usually more cost effective than repair.
Most sump pumps plug into a standard outlet, but proper installation involves much more than the sump pump plug connection. The pump must be correctly positioned in the sump basin with proper gravel fill, the float switch must be adjusted to activate at the right water level, the discharge pipe must be connected with a check valve, and the system must be tested by pouring water into the pit.
The electrical connection should be a dedicated circuit with a GFCI outlet for safety in wet basement conditions.
Constant running usually indicates a stuck or incorrectly adjusted float switch, a sump pit that's too small, a check valve failure allowing water to flow back into the basin, or improper discharge pipe routing that directs water back toward your foundation.
If your sump pump runs constantly, the motor will burn out quickly. We can diagnose whether the issue is the float switch, sump pit size, discharge pipe location, or improper installation causing water to return to the sump basin.
The discharge pipe should direct water at least 10 to 20 feet away from your foundation. We install discharge pipes that route water to a safe drainage area, storm drain, or natural grade away from your house. The pipe must have proper slope and include a check valve to prevent water from flowing backward.
Improper discharge pipe installation causes pumps to run constantly as they continuously pump the same water returning to the sump pit.
Test your sump pump every few months, especially before rainy season. Pour water into the sump pit until the water level rises and triggers the float switch. The motor should activate quickly, remove water efficiently through the discharge pipe, and shut off when the water level drops.
Annual professional maintenance includes testing pump operation, checking the float switch, cleaning debris from the sump basin and gravel fill, inspecting the discharge pipe and check valve, and verifying electrical connections.
