Our Emergency Sump Pump Services
To prevent water from entering your basement, proper equipment and an installation process is required. Our services include complete restoration, fast replacement, and basic repairs to ensure that the setup is effective even when rain season hits.
- Installation of Submersible Sump Pump: We install the durable pumps directly into your sump. They operate without making noise under the water level and can easily handle large amounts of water during heavy rainfall.
- Repair of Pedestal Sump Pump: In pedestal pump systems, the motor is located above the sump. We repair old impellers, inspect the wiring, and maintain old systems.
- Secondary Battery Backup System Installations: Severe weather conditions tend to cut off the power supply in the area. Secondary batteries are installed so that your well continues to function even when there is no power.
- Replacement and Clearing of Check Valve: When your check valve malfunctions, the water pumped by your pump goes straight back into your well tank. We clear your line and replace faulty check valves for you.
- Float Switch Fixing and Adjustments: When a float switch is jammed, your pump won’t start when water begins filling up. We fix and adjust faulty floats to ensure an immediate response of your pump.
- Sump Pit Cleaning and Maintenance: Mud, dirt, and pebbles accumulate in the pit. We clean out your pit and intake filter to prevent blockages and ease the functioning of your motor.
When Should You Call an Emergency Sump Pump Repair?
Plumbing issues can be attended to later in the day, but not when your sump pump starts acting up in a heavy rainstorm. Letting this issue persist will change a simple pit repair into an elaborate cleaning project. If you see these red flags, call us immediately:
- Strange Noises Persistently: The loud grinding, rattling, or thumping sounds indicate a faulty impeller, loose parts, or a clogged motor.
- Persistent Motor Operation: If your motor operates continuously without pumping water from the sump, there could be either a malfunctioning float or a valve problem.
- Overflowing Sump Pit: Overflowing water from your basin indicates that the pump either has stopped functioning, has lost its power source, or cannot handle the incoming flow.
- Excessive Vibrations while Running: Shaking can cause stress to your plumbing and wiring. This often occurs when something gets stuck inside or when the shaft bends.
- Failure of the System during Stormy Weather: Rain causes a lot of pressure on your drain system. Immediate actions will protect your groundwater from seeping into your interior walls and floors.
- Musty Smell: A consistent musty smell coming from your sump pit is an indication of water remaining stagnant instead of being drained off, causing the growth of mould.

FAQs
Why would my sump pump stop running during a storm?
A sump pump will generally stop working during a storm because of a lack of electricity to the home. Other reasons include a float switch sticking on, a clogged drain line, or, in the case of an aging motor in a situation of heavy rain, overheating, which forces the switch to drop and the pump to stay off until the water level drops.
How long will the average home sump pump last?
Home sump pumps last approximately 7-10 years but may last longer if the pit is maintained, the float is checked, and tune-ups are performed at prescribed intervals.
Why does my pump continuously run when there is no rain?
A pump that runs at all times might have a float switch that is stuck in the float, have a broken check valve letting water flow out and back into the pit, or a discharge line that drains too close to your foundation walls.
Is a battery backup necessary?
Yes, because bad storms usually result in flooding that cuts power to the line. It helps your pump run through any power cut and ensures that your basement remains dry.
What is the frequency of sump pump inspection?
The optimal frequency of inspection is at least once a year. The float testing, the pit cleaning and the pipe inspection need to be done before spring rains.
