Our Comprehensive Sump Pump Service Process

Our service is designed to ensure your sump pump system is ready to handle any water event, providing you with peace of mind.

Step 1: System Diagnosis and Assessment

For existing systems, we perform a thorough check of the pump, float switch, check valve, and discharge line. For new installations, we assess your basement’s water drainage patterns and size the pump correctly to match your home’s specific needs and local flood risk.

Step 2: Precision Repair, Installation, or Replacement

Based on the assessment, we execute the required service. For repairs, we address issues like faulty float switches or clogged impellers. For new installations or replacements, we ensure the pump is correctly positioned in the pit, the discharge line is properly routed, and the electrical connections are safe and up to code.

Step 3: Performance and Safety Testing

We rigorously test the system by manually activating the float switch to ensure the pump engages and discharges water effectively. We also verify the check valve is preventing backflow and, for battery-backup systems, confirm the battery is fully charged and operational.

Step 4: Preventative Maintenance Consultation

We provide a detailed report and offer advice on preventative care, including the importance of an annual Sump Pump Maintenance check and what to do during heavy rain events to ensure your system is never overwhelmed.

How long does a typical sump pump last?

The average lifespan of a sump pump is 7 to 10 years. However, this can vary significantly based on the frequency of use and the quality of the unit. Regular professional maintenance is the best way to maximize its lifespan and ensure reliability.
What is a battery backup sump pump, and do I need one?

A battery backup sump pump is a secondary pump that runs on a battery, providing protection during a power outage. Since most flooding occurs during severe storms when power is often lost, a battery backup is highly recommended, especially in areas prone to heavy rain or high water tables, to ensure continuous flood protection.
What are the signs that my sump pump is failing?

Common signs of failure include the pump running constantly (indicating a float switch issue or improper sizing), making loud or unusual noises (indicating a worn-out bearing or jammed impeller), or failing to turn on when the pit fills with water.
What is the primary function of a sump pump?

The primary function of a sump pump is to prevent basement flooding by removing excess water that collects in the sump pit (a hole, usually dug in the basement floor). When the water level rises to a certain point, the float switch activates the pump, which then pushes the water out of the house and away from the foundation.
How often should a sump pump be maintained?

A sump pump should be professionally inspected and maintained at least once a year, ideally before the heavy rain season. This maintenance ensures the float switch is working correctly, the discharge line is clear, and the pump impeller is free of debris, preventing failure when you need it most.
