Sump Pump Service

The plumbers in our network handle the full range: repairing a pump that won't start, replacing a worn unit, fixing a stuck float switch, clearing a clogged impeller, sealing a leaking discharge line, cleaning out the pit, and installing battery backups. Whether you need a quick fix or a complete new system, we match you with a pro who does it.

You can clear loose debris from the pit and test the float by lifting it to see if the pump kicks on. Beyond that, wiring, discharge plumbing, check valves, and sizing a replacement are jobs for a licensed plumber, because a pump that's installed or set up wrong leaves your basement unprotected. When the fix involves the motor, the electrical, or a new unit, bring in a pro.

Cost depends on whether you're repairing or replacing, the type of pump, and whether you add a battery backup. A basic repair like a float switch or check valve usually runs $150 to $400, while a full pump replacement typically lands between $600 and $1,500. Adding a backup system pushes the total higher, and your plumber gives you a firm price before any work starts.
