You’ll see your options and pricing before any work begins.
Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Repair
- The pump doesn’t turn on when water rises
- It runs constantly or turns on and off over and over
- Loud grinding, rattling or humming
- Water in the basement after a storm
- Visible rust or damage
Common Sump Pump Problems
- Stuck or failed float switches
- Clogged pumps or intake screens
- Frozen or blocked discharge lines
- Worn-out motors
- Power or electrical issues
Add Backup Protection
A battery backup pump keeps working if the power goes out, and a high-water alarm warns you before the pit overflows. We can add either one during your repair visit.
Test Your Sump Pump
Before the wet season, slowly pour a bucket of water into the sump pit. The pump should turn on, drain the pit and shut off on its own. If it doesn’t, schedule a repair.
What to Expect on a Service Visit
- You get a text confirmation. Once your visit is booked, you’ll get a text confirming it. When your technician is on the way, you’ll get another text with their photo and a link to track their arrival.
- We call ahead. Your technician calls on the way, and even asks if you’d like a coffee or anything from the store.
- We arrive ready. Our trucks usually carry the parts to fix the problem during that first appointment.
- We respect your home. Technicians wear shoe covers and clean up the work area when the job is done.
- We diagnose the problem. We ask about what you’re noticing, then do a thorough evaluation.
- You see your options first. We give you all your options with pricing before any work begins, and we only move forward with your approval.
Repair or Replace?
If your pump is old or keeps failing, a new pump may make more sense. See our sump pump installation page, and we’ll give you both options with pricing.
Warranty
Our plumbing repairs come with a 1-year parts and labor warranty, unless your quote says otherwise.
