Repair and replacement
Failed switches, stuck floats, and worn pumps repaired or replaced with properly sized units. Most 'dead pump' calls are actually switch or check-valve failures, which is good news: those are the cheap parts.
Local plumbing expertise
A sump pump only matters on the day it has to work. Elite Rooter's licensed plumbers in Greeley, CO install, repair, and test sump pumps and battery backups so the next big storm stays outside. If your current pump is borderline, we will tell you honestly whether it is worth fixing.
Phone lines are answered 24/7. Service is scheduled Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Know the signals
One symptom can be minor. Several together usually point to a larger issue.
The pump runs constantly or not at all
Grinding or rattling when the pump kicks on
Water in the basement or crawl space after rain
A pump that's 7+ years old and untested
No battery backup for power outages
Local conditions
Greeley is an irrigation town at heart: founded in 1870 as the Union Colony and sited between the Cache la Poudre and the South Platte for its ditches, it still runs a separate non-potable watering system with 40 pump stations, and its drinking water starts as Rocky Mountain snowmelt treated at a plant the city built in 1907.
The city does not publish a hardness number, so neither do we; what plumbing here actually contends with is cold and ground.
Greeley's adopted code assumes a 30-inch frost depth, a winter design temperature of one degree, and 'severe' weathering, and the Colorado Geological Survey counts the plains' expansive bentonite clays among the most damaging hazards in the state, pipelines included.
Housing skews newer than our other Colorado markets, median build year 1991, though the blocks around downtown and the university date back a century. Permit rules flip at the city line: Berthoud names water heaters outright, Greeley requires permits for plumbing work, and unincorporated Weld County exempts a like-for-like swap.
Frozen discharge lines are the local failure mode: the pump runs, the water has nowhere to go, and it cycles itself to death against a plug of ice.
Right tool, right diagnosis
We match the repair to what is actually happening inside the system.

Failed switches, stuck floats, and worn pumps repaired or replaced with properly sized units. Most 'dead pump' calls are actually switch or check-valve failures, which is good news: those are the cheap parts.
The storms that flood basements also knock out power. A battery backup keeps the pit pumping.
Frozen or clogged discharge lines fixed so the pump isn't fighting itself. Discharge lines that freeze at the outlet push water straight back into the pit; a proper air gap or freeze-relief fitting ends that cycle.
Seasonal test-and-clean visits catch failures before the storm does. The five-minute bucket test, twice a year, is the whole maintenance program: fill the pit, watch it cycle, listen for grinding.
Straight answers
Sump pump pricing is the pump itself plus the state of the pit, the discharge line, and whether you want the system to survive a power outage.
A properly sized cast-iron pump costs more than a big-box special and outlives it several times over. We size to your pit and your water table, not to a shelf.
The storms that flood basements are the same ones that take out power. A battery backup is a second, smaller system, priced accordingly, and it is what makes the whole setup trustworthy.
A pump is only as good as where the water goes. Rerouting or thawing-proofing a discharge line is sometimes the real fix.
A silted pit or a fouled float switch can kill a healthy pump; sometimes the fix is a cleanout and a switch, not a new unit.

Most last 7-10 years. If yours is in that range and untested, a check costs far less than a flooded basement. We'll tell you honestly whether it has life left.
Pour a bucket of water into the pit until the float lifts. The pump should start promptly, move the water out fast, and shut off without rattling or grinding. If any of that is off, deal with it in dry weather, on your schedule, not during the storm.
