How We Restore Your Sump Pump
Emergency Diagnosis We arrive same-day, drain standing water if needed, and identify why the pump is not handling the flow.
Test the Pump and Pit We test the float, motor, check valve, and discharge line. Most failures are one of these four.
Repair or Replace Repair if salvageable, or replace with a unit sized for your basement. Backup pump options too.
Install and Test New pump with proper discharge routing. Pour water in, watch the float trigger, confirm full pump cycle.
