When You Need a New Sump Pump

You may need a sump pump install or replacement if:

Your current pump is more than 7–10 years old

The sump pit fills but doesn’t drain

You hear constant cycling or grinding noises

Your basement smells musty or has moisture marks

You’ve had a flood — or came close

You’ve added drainage systems or a finished basement

The pump runs, but no water is moving

We’ll inspect the existing setup, or install a new one from scratch with proper routing and reliable parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a sump pump last?
Answer:
Typically 7–10 years. We recommend inspections if yours is older or making noise.
Do I really need a backup?
Answer:
If your power goes out during storms (which is common), a battery or water-powered backup is highly recommended.
Can you install in a finished basement?
Answer:
Yes — we protect flooring, dust, and cleanup. We’ll coordinate the best pit location.
Will my sump pump drain outside legally?
Answer:
Yes. We follow all local codes for exterior discharge routing — no draining into sanitary systems or foundations.
