Sump Pump Installation & Repair

A dry basement starts with a pump you can count on. We install, repair, and back up sump pumps built for Ohio storm seasons.

Dry basements

Protection that works when the storm hits

A sump pump only matters on the worst night of the year — when the rain will not stop and the power flickers. We size and install reliable primary pumps, add battery backups that carry you through outages, and service the pump you already own so it is ready before the storm, not after.

  • New installation sized to your basement and water table
  • Battery backup systems for storm-season outages
  • Repair and replacement of failed or noisy pumps
  • Annual testing so it works when you need it

FAQ

Questions about sump pumps

How long does a sump pump last?

Most last 7–10 years. If yours is in that range — or you cannot remember installing it — have it tested before storm season.

Do I need a battery backup?

If your basement is finished or you lose power in storms, yes. The backup runs for hours when the grid is down — exactly when you need pumping most.
