What Is a Sump Pump?
Without a sump pump, your home’s basement could be inches deep in rainwater. A sump pump is a submersible device installed into a sump pit at the lowest point of your home, like a basement or a crawl space.
It’s designed to collect and pump out excess groundwater, standing water, or moisture, protecting your home’s foundation and surrounding property. It’s a vital investment for homeowners who live in topographically flat areas.
Sump Pump Installation & Replacement
While some DIYers might want to fit and install a sump pump themselves, our plumbers are certified technicians who take exact measures to size a sump pit, test check valves, and connect a discharge pipe. We’ll upgrade your old or broken unit or help you install a new one.
Sump Pump Repair
Once water from oversaturated soil funnels into the sump pit, a sump pump immediately springs into action. While straightforward in function, age and frequency of use can lead to a sump pump’s deterioration.
Our comprehensive sump pump repair services resolve common issues such as:
- Unusual noises: A damaged impeller or lodged debris can cause strange sounds while the sump pump operates.
- Continuous cycling: Irregular or continual cycles indicate an issue with the sump pump’s electrical motor.
- Visible rust: Sump pumps 10 years or older, or cast iron or steel models, are less corrosion-resistant.

Even though they’re usually at rest, sump pumps require minor maintenance to remain effective during heavy rains or flash floods.

FAQs
What is a check valve?
A check valve is located in a sump pump’s discharge pipe. It prevents water from flowing back into the basin by allowing it to flow in only one direction. This way, water stays above the check valve and doesn’t return to the sump pit.
Will my sump pump work during a power outage?
No, not unless you have a battery backup or a standby generator. Our electricians install, maintain, and repair whole-home and commercial generators.
What sump pump material do you recommend?
We encourage homeowners to use stainless steel, plastic, or zinc for sump pumps. Since sump pumps are likely to get wet, avoiding corrosive alloys is best.
