Services for Sump Pumps
When choosing a sump pump, you can have a submersible or pedestal model. Submersible pumps are much quieter and usually more powerful. However, you may need a pedestal pump if the pit is narrow. Sump pumps usually have a float, valve, or other device to detect when the sump basin fills with water. A pump then automatically drains the water through a discharge line. Proper installation is essential to ensure that the sump pump will work properly. Installing one yourself puts your home and belongings at risk of water damage.
You can also consider upgrading to a smart sump pump that can send a high-water alert to your computer or mobile device. If you don’t already have one, consider a backup pump to protect your home if the primary fails.
Once installed, sump pumps need regular maintenance. Our plumbers will clean the pump and lines and ensure everything works properly. They will also check the drainage area to make sure the water flows safely away from your home.

The pump should trigger and remove the water through its drainage system. If it doesn’t, call us for repairs to get it functioning well before the next storm. You should also check for any debris in or near the sump pump and clean it out so that it doesn’t block the discharge line.
Signs your sump pump needs repair include:
