What’s Included in Our Sump Pump Service
From a single failed float switch to a full backup system, our sump pump service covers everything your home needs to stay dry.
Sump Pump Diagnostic Inspection
A full assessment of your sump pump, pit, and discharge line to identify the cause of failure, noise, or flooding before repair work begins.
Primary Sump Pump Repair
Worn float switches, clogged impellers, and failed check valves are common causes of sump pump trouble. We diagnose and repair them so your system is ready for the next heavy rain.
Battery Backup Sump Pump Installation
Power outages often happen during the same storms that cause flooding. A battery backup system keeps your sump pump running when the power doesn’t.
Sump Pump Replacement
An aging or undersized sump pump is a liability during heavy rain. We handle full removal and installation of new primary and backup units sized correctly for your home.
Sump Pit & Check Valve Service
A clean pit and working check valve are essential to reliable operation. We clean, repair, or replace these components as part of a full system service.
Water-Powered Backup Systems
For homes without reliable battery backup, we install water-powered backup sump pumps that run off municipal water pressure during outages.
Annual Maintenance & Testing
Regular testing catches the float switch, check valve, and battery issues before they cause a flood. We test your system and flag anything that needs attention.
Preferred Maintenance Program Enrollment
Sign up within the first year of a new sump pump installation and receive a 10% discount on annual testing and maintenance, plus priority scheduling and free reminders.

FAQs
How do I know if my sump pump needs repair or replacement?
Most sump pumps last 7–10 years. If yours is older, cycling constantly, making grinding noises, or failed to keep up during a recent storm, replacement is usually the safer choice. We test your system on-site and give you an honest recommendation.
Do I need a battery backup sump pump?
If you’ve ever lost power during a storm, or your basement has finished space or valuable items, a battery backup is worth the investment. Power outages and heavy rain often happen together, which is exactly when a backup matters most.
How often should a sump pump be tested?
We recommend testing your sump pump at least once a year, ideally before the spring rainy season. Testing catches float switch, check valve, and battery issues before they lead to a flooded basement.
What size sump pump do I need?
Pump sizing depends on your basement’s water table, pit size, and how quickly water enters the pit during heavy rain. We assess your specific situation on-site rather than guessing based on general rules of thumb.
Do you offer emergency sump pump repair?
Yes. A failed sump pump during active flooding is a plumbing emergency. Call your local RHD number and we’ll prioritize getting a plumber to you as quickly as possible.
