Our Sump Pump Services
Sump Pump Repair
We diagnose and repair all major sump pump brands and models. Common repairs include replacing float switches, repairing discharge pipes, fixing check valves, and restoring power connections. Most repairs are completed in a single visit.
Sump Pump Replacement
When repair is no longer cost-effective, we install a new submersible or pedestal sump pump sized correctly for your basement. We carry quality units and can typically install a replacement the same day.
Battery Backup Sump Pump Installation
Erie storms knock out power at the worst possible time. A battery backup system keeps your pump running during outages. We install and maintain backup units to ensure your basement stays protected year-round.
Sump Pit Inspection & Cleaning
Over time, debris accumulates in the sump pit and reduces pump efficiency. We clean the pit, inspect the liner, and test the entire system before we leave.
