When Your Home Isn’t Comfortable

We’ll Help You Figure Out What’s Wrong

A sump pump sits quietly until a heavy rain, and that’s when you find out whether it works. A stuck float switch, a burned-out motor or a clogged discharge line can let water back into your basement or crawl space.

We test, repair and replace sump pumps, and can add a battery backup so the pump keeps running if the power goes out during a storm.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a sump pump last?

Most sump pumps last about 7 to 10 years, depending on how often they run.

Do I need a battery backup sump pump?

If your area loses power during storms, a battery backup keeps the pump running when you need it most.

How do I test my sump pump?

Slowly pour a bucket of water into the pit. The pump should turn on, drain the water and shut off. If it doesn't, give us a call.

How much does sump pump repair cost?

It depends on what we find. We start with a $99 service call that goes toward your repair, and you'll get an upfront price before any work begins.
