The pump that's supposed to protect your basement is only as good as the day it was last tested.
No sump pump in a basement that's below the water table or has a history of dampness
A pump that hasn't been tested in over a year
Rust, corrosion, or a cracked basin around your existing pump
A pump that runs constantly even without recent rain
No battery backup on a home that's lost power during a storm before
A discharge line that empties too close to the foundation, sending water right back
We don't sell one product for every job. The inspection determines which of these applies — sometimes more than one.
Properly sized submersible pump set in a new or existing basin, with a check valve and correctly routed discharge line that carries water well away from the foundation.
A second pump powered by a dedicated battery, activating automatically if the primary pump fails or the power goes out — exactly the scenario that causes most preventable basement flooding.
For homes with reliable municipal water pressure, a water-powered backup pump runs off your water line with no battery to maintain, as a second layer alongside the primary pump.
For basements with a history of heavy water or a large drainage area feeding the basin, dual primary pumps handle volume that a single pump can't keep up with.
A standard primary pump install typically runs $650–$1,800. Adding a battery backup system brings most installs to $1,500–$3,200. Every quote is written and specific to your home — not a phone estimate.
