Where They Matter Around Here
Bay Area homes rarely have full basements, but crawl spaces, sub-grade garages and low-lying lots take on water in a wet winter. A working sump pump is what keeps that water from sitting under your house.
Failures Happen at the Worst Time
Pumps fail during heavy rain, because that is when they run hardest. A stuck float, seized impeller or dead motor only announces itself once water is rising.
Testing Before the Season
It is worth testing the pump before the rains start rather than discovering the problem mid-storm. We can check the float, the check valve and the discharge line.
Signs You Should Call Us
- Standing water in the crawl space
- Pump runs constantly or not at all
- Loud grinding or rattling when it runs
- Visible rust or corrosion on the unit
- Pump is more than about ten years old
Common Questions
Do I need a backup pump?
If the consequence of failure is water under your house, a battery backup is worth considering — power cuts and heavy rain tend to arrive together.
Is this an emergency service?
Active flooding, yes. Call rather than booking online and we will tell you honestly when we can get there.
