Basement waterproofing
Sump pump installation and repair
Sump pump service installs a sealed pit and pump where groundwater collects, replaces failed pumps and switches, adds battery or water-powered backups, and routes the discharge line well away from the house so it doesn't freeze or recirculate.
- Typical time
- Half a day to a day.
- Repair or replace
- Replace old or failing pumps; add backup.
Spring storms and snowmelt are when pumps work hardest, and power outages during storms are when basements flood. A backup pump matters.
Discharge lines that end right next to the foundation, or freeze in winter, are a common cause of repeat flooding.
