Common questions

Sump & Sewage Pump Installation: your questions, answered

How long does a sump pump last?

Many sump pumps last somewhere around 7 to 10 years, depending on how often they run. A pump that runs a lot in a wet spring wears out faster. If yours is in that range, replacing it before it fails is cheaper than a flooded basement.

Do I need a battery backup sump pump?

If your basement is finished or you store anything you care about down there, a backup is worth it. Storms that bring heavy rain also knock out power, which is exactly when the main pump stops.

What size sump pump do I need?

It depends on how much water comes into your pit and how high it has to be pumped. We size the pump to your basement instead of guessing.

Can you replace a sewage or ejector pump too?

Yes. We replace sewage and ejector pumps for basement bathrooms and laundry.
