Sump Pump Repair and Replacement You Can Rely On
Your sump pump protects your home by moving water away from the foundation. When it fails, water has nowhere to go, and flooding becomes a real risk.
Most homeowners don’t think about the sump pump until they hear strange noises, see water where it shouldn’t be, or realize it’s not turning on. These are signs that a sump pump repair might be needed. Common repairs include fixing jammed float switches, clearing out clogs, or replacing a worn-out motor.
If the pump is more than seven to 10 years old or needs constant repairs, sump pump replacement usually makes more sense. Older pumps often can’t keep up during heavy storms. They may run nonstop or shut down too soon. A replacement gives you a fresh start and better protection. New models are more efficient and can move water faster. Many also include battery backups so the pump keeps working during a power outage.
Storms hit fast. You need a sump pump that responds quickly. A slow or undersized pump can lead to water pooling in your crawl space or basement. If you’re seeing puddles, smelling dampness, or hearing the pump kick on repeatedly, it’s time to act. We’ll inspect your system, walk you through your options, and help you make the right call.
Things most people don’t realize about sump pumps include:
