We install primary sump pumps, battery backup pumps, and water-powered backup pumps. We help you choose the right setup based on the size of your basement and how much water your home deals with.

Most sump pumps last about seven to ten years. If your pump is older than that, or if it runs often and sounds loud, it is a good idea to have it checked. A new pump is much cheaper than dealing with a flooded basement.

We strongly recommend it. Power outages happen most often during heavy storms, which is exactly when you need your pump the most. A battery backup keeps your pump running even when the lights go out.

Sometimes, yes. If the pump is fairly new and the problem is small, a repair may be all you need. We will give you an honest answer about whether a repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
