What types of sump pumps do you repair and install?

Our licensed plumbers are experienced with all major sump pump types, including submersible sump pumps, pedestal sump pumps, water-powered backup sump pumps, and battery-powered backup systems. We work on cast-iron sump pumps and standard models from all major manufacturers.

How do I know if I need a sump pump repair or a full replacement?

This depends on the age of your pump, the nature of the failure, and the cost of repair versus replacement. A pump less than 5 years old with a specific, fixable issue is usually worth repairing. A pump that's 10+ years old, has failed multiple times, or has motor damage may be more cost-effectively replaced. Our plumbers will give you an honest assessment and help you make the right decision for your budget.

What is a battery backup sump pump, and do I need one?

A battery backup sump pump is a secondary pump that activates when your primary pump fails or when your home loses power. Given that heavy storms, the exact conditions that trigger sump pump activity, are also the most common cause of power outages, a battery backup system is a wise investment for most Pontiac homeowners.
