All brands, all problems

What we fix

In the Wyoming Valley, a working sump pump is the difference between a dry basement and a flooded one. Heavy rain, spring melt, and a high water table all push water toward your foundation, and your sump pump is the only thing sending it back out. When it fails, it usually fails at the worst possible time: during the storm.

We install, replace, and service sump pumps for homes across NEPA. If your pump is more than a few years old, running constantly, making odd noises, or you've never had it checked, it's worth an inspection before the next big storm. We'll test the pump, the float switch, and the discharge line, and tell you honestly whether it has life left.

We also strongly recommend a battery backup pump. Storms that bring the most water are the same ones that knock out power, and a primary pump with no electricity is just a paperweight. A backup system keeps your basement dry even when the power's out. When you need us in an emergency, we answer 24/7.

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions

How long does a sump pump last?

Most sump pumps last around 7 to 10 years, though it depends on how often they run. If yours is in that range or older, it's smart to have it inspected before storm season rather than finding out it failed mid-flood.

Do I really need a battery backup?

We strongly recommend one. The heaviest storms are the ones most likely to knock out your power, and without power a standard sump pump can't run. A battery backup keeps pumping through an outage, exactly when you need it most.

How do I know if my sump pump is failing?

Warning signs include the pump running constantly, strange noises, visible rust, vibration, or water backing up in the pit. If it's been years since anyone looked at it, an inspection is cheap insurance against a flooded basement.

Can you come out during a storm?

Yes. A failing sump pump during heavy rain is an emergency, and we answer the phone 24/7, 365 days a year for the Wyoming Valley and surrounding NEPA.

Worth reading first

Sometimes the answer is a five minute check you can do yourself. We would rather tell you that than send a truck.
