Sump Pump Repair Service

It starts with diagnosing why the pump isn't keeping up, then fixing the cause: a stuck float, a failed switch, a clogged discharge line, a worn check valve or impeller, or a burned-out motor. When a unit is too far gone, a full replacement is the smarter call. The job wraps with a complete cycle test to confirm the pit drains on its own.

Simple checks like clearing debris from the pit or resetting a tripped breaker are fine to do yourself. Anything involving the wiring, the check valve, or replacing the pump should go to a pro, since water and electricity together leave no room for guesswork. A trained plumber gets it right and keeps your basement dry.

The main factors are the type of failure, whether you need a part repair or a full replacement, and the pump's size and horsepower. Minor repairs like a switch or check valve often run around $150 to $400, while a full replacement typically falls between $450 and $1,200. A battery backup adds to the price but protects you during outages.
