Sump Pumps & Laundry Pumps

Keep your basement dry — sump pumps, battery backup, and laundry/ejector pump installs.

A sump pump is cheap insurance against a wet basement. We install and replace primary pumps, add battery backup for power outages, and set up water alarms so you know something's wrong before the water reaches your finished floor. We also install laundry and utility sink pump systems for basement fixtures that sit below the main drain line.

What's included

  • Zoeller, Wayne, Liberty primary pumps
  • Battery backup systems for outages
  • Wi-Fi water alarms
  • Proper discharge routing away from the foundation
  • Laundry, utility sink, and ejector pump installs
  • Annual test and inspection service

Our process

1

Size right

We match pump horsepower and flow to your basin volume, vertical lift, and typical water inflow.

2

Install clean

Proper check valve, unions for easy service, venting as required, and quiet discharge piping.

3

Back it up

A battery backup and alarm mean a power outage during a storm doesn't become a flood.
