Sump Pump Installation and Replacement
A sump pump removes water that collects in the crawl space. We install a pump in a basin with a sealed lid, a check valve and a discharge line that sends water well away from the house, or replace a worn pump with a stronger one.

Questions
About sump pump installation and replacement
How long does a sump pump last?
Pumps wear with use, and many last several years. We check yours and suggest replacement before it fails if it shows signs of age.
Where does the water go?
Through a discharge line to a spot that drains away from the house. We plan the route to avoid pooling near the foundation.
