Protect Your Home with Expert Sump Pump Installation and Maintenance
April 21, 2025

Heavy rain and unexpected plumbing issues can put your home at risk of flooding. A sump pump acts as your home’s first line of defense by redirecting water away from your foundation. Without a reliable sump pump, even a small storm could cause serious water damage, mold growth, and costly repairs.

Signs You Need Sump Pump Service

Not sure if it’s time to install or service your sump pump? Watch for these signs:

  • Frequent basement flooding – Water pooling in your basement means your home lacks protection.
  • Unusual noises – Grinding or rattling sounds can indicate motor or component failure.
  • Pump running constantly – A sump pump that won’t shut off may be overworked or incorrectly sized.
  • Rust or corrosion – Visible wear can weaken the system and cause leaks.
  • Age of the pump – If your sump pump is over 7–10 years old, replacement is often the safest option.

Installing a sump pump is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Our expert plumbers evaluate your home’s layout, drainage, and risk factors to recommend the best sump pump system. From pedestal to submersible models, we ensure proper placement and reliable installation for long-term protection.

Sump Pump Maintenance Tips

To keep your sump pump in peak condition, regular maintenance is essential. Here are a few tips homeowners should know:

  1. Test the pump regularly by pouring water into the pit.
