Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a sump pump?

If you have a basement or crawl space that experiences water intrusion, dampness, or flooding, you need a sump pump. Signs include water stains, musty odors, or visible water pooling during heavy rain or snowmelt.

How long do sump pumps last?

A quality sump pump typically lasts 7-10 years with proper maintenance. Pumps that run frequently may need replacement sooner. Annual testing and maintenance extend lifespan.

Do I need a battery backup sump pump?

Highly recommended! Power outages often occur during storms when you need your sump pump most. A battery backup ensures protection even when the power is out.

How often should I test my sump pump?

Test your sump pump every 3-4 months by pouring water into the basin until the float activates. Before spring and fall are critical times to test.

What size sump pump do I need?

It depends on your basement size, water table, and drainage needs. Most residential applications use 1/3 to 1/2 HP pumps. We'll calculate the right size for your situation.
