Sump pumps

Sump pumps are less common in the Valley than in wetter states, but where a home has a basement, a below-grade room or a low garage, the pump is what keeps a monsoon downpour from becoming water inside. We install and repair them, and test that the float and the discharge actually work.

When to call

  • The pump runs constantly, or not at all
  • It's noisy, or it cycles on and off quickly
  • Water standing in the pit after a storm
  • You're installing one before monsoon season rather than during it

What we do

  1. 01

    Check the pit, the float switch and the check valve

  2. 02

    Test the discharge line runs clear and away from the house

  3. 03

    Repair or replace the pump and install it so it can be serviced

  4. 04

    Run it under load before we leave

What decides the price

It follows the pump, the pit, and how the discharge is run. Testing an existing one is a short visit; a full install is a bigger job. We give the estimate in person, once we’ve seen the job.

Answers

Sump pumps: questions and answers

Do homes in Arizona need sump pumps?

Most don't. Where there's a basement, a below-grade room or a low spot that takes storm water, the pump is doing real work, and monsoon season is when you find out whether it still runs.

How do I test mine?

Pour water into the pit until the float lifts. If it doesn't start, or it runs without moving water, call before the next storm.
