Water coming up?We'll get it moving out.
Sump pumps quit during the storm, not on a dry afternoon. We answer 24/7, find out whether it's the float, the motor or the discharge line, and get water leaving your basement again — then make sure the next storm doesn't do the same thing.
- Dispatch 24/7
- Emergency 90-min or $50 off
- New pump from $695

The real decision
Pump alone, or add a battery backup?
North Jersey storms bring heavy rain and power outages together — which is exactly when a plug-in pump stops. Here's how the two options compare.
Primary pump — the everyday workhorse
$695–$1,495
A new primary pump, check valve and discharge connection, sized to how much water your pit actually takes on. This is the pump that runs every time the float rises.
- Replaces a failed, noisy or worn-out pump
- New check valve so water doesn't fall back into the pit
- Discharge routed away from the foundation
- Tested by filling the pit before we leave
Battery backup — for when the power goes
$495–$895 add-on
A second pump on its own battery that takes over when the power cuts out or the primary fails. It's the part of the system that matters most on the worst night of the year.
- Runs when the power is out
- Covers a primary pump that's failed
- Alarm so you know it kicked in
- Worth it in any finished basement

What's your pump doing?
Pick the one that sounds like yours and you'll see the likely cause and what usually fixes it.
Float, power or a dead motor
Most often a float switch stuck against the side of the pit, a tripped GFCI outlet, or a motor that's simply worn out. Check the outlet first. If it's got power and still won't run, it's time to call.
Stuck float or a missing check valve
A pump that never shuts off is usually fighting a stuck float, a failed check valve letting water drain back in, or a pump too small for the inflow. Left alone it burns the motor out.
Debris in the impeller or worn bearings
Grinding or rattling means something's caught in the impeller or the bearings are going. Sometimes a cleaning fixes it; often it's a pump at the end of its life.
High water or a backup that kicked in
A high-water alarm means the pit is filling faster than the pump is emptying it. If you have a battery backup, it may already be doing the work — but it won't last forever.
The pump couldn't keep up or never started
Water on the floor after a storm means the pump failed, couldn't keep up, or the discharge line is frozen or blocked. We get it running, then look at why so it doesn't repeat.

Questions we get a lot
How long does a sump pump last?
Typically 7 to 10 years, less if it runs constantly. If yours cycles all the time, grinds, or is past that age, it's worth replacing before it fails in a storm.
Do I need a battery backup?
In North Jersey, it's strongly worth it. Heavy rain and power outages often arrive together, and a plug-in pump can't run without power. A battery backup ($495–$895 installed) takes over when the power or the primary pump fails.
What does a new pump install include?
The pump, a new check valve, the discharge connection and a test with a full pit. New pumps with install run $695–$1,495 depending on the pump and the pit. You get the exact price in writing first.
Can you install a sump pump in a finished basement?
Yes. We work carefully in finished spaces and plan the pit and discharge route with you before anything is cut.
Will you come out during a storm at night?
Yes. We dispatch 24/7, and if water is coming in it's an emergency: we arrive within 90 minutes or take $50 off.
What does the $79 diagnostic include?
A licensed tech diagnoses why the pump failed and gives you a written price. If you go ahead with the repair, the $79 is credited to it.
