Sump Pump Problems We Solve
A working sump pump protects your home from flooding, foundation damage, and costly water cleanup. We install new sump pumps and replace failing systems across Spencer and surrounding areas.
Basement Water After Rainstorms
If your basement floods after heavy rain or spring thaw, a sump pump can prevent water buildup and long-term damage. We’ll install a system that keeps your lower level dry—even when the ground is saturated.
Old or Broken Sump Pump Replacement
If your sump pump is making noise, running constantly, or not turning on at all, it may be time for a replacement. We’ll remove the old unit and install a reliable one that works when you need it most.
Sump Pump Installation for New Homes & Remodels
Building an addition or finishing a basement? We install sump systems from scratch, including the pit, pump, discharge piping, and electrical setup.
Backup & Battery-Powered Pumps
When the power goes out, your sump pump needs a backup. We install battery-powered systems to keep your home protected even during outages or electrical failures.
Clogged or Improper Drainage
If your current sump pump isn’t keeping up, we’ll check for clogged pipes, bad placement, or undersized equipment—and recommend the right fix.

Sump Pump Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
What does a sump pump do exactly?
A sump pump collects and removes groundwater from a pit in your basement or crawlspace. When the water rises, the pump kicks on and sends it safely away from your foundation.
How long do sump pumps last?
Most pumps last 7–10 years with regular use. If yours is older, running constantly, or struggling during storms, it may be time for a replacement.
Do I need a battery backup pump?
If your power goes out during storms, yes. A battery backup ensures your pump still runs when the main power is down—keeping your basement dry when it matters most.
Can you install a sump pump in a finished basement?
Yes. We install pumps in both finished and unfinished basements. We use clean methods to keep disruption minimal and protect your flooring and walls.
Do you install the pit and drain lines too?
We handle the full installation: pit excavation, pump setup, check valves, discharge lines, and exterior drainage.
How do I know if my current sump pump is working?
We can test your system and check for signs of wear, clogs, or improper installation. If it’s not up to the task, we’ll recommend a fix or replacement.
Do I need a sump pump if I’ve never had water before?
If your neighbors have pumps or your basement feels damp, it’s worth considering. A sump pump is one of the best ways to protect your home before problems start.
