What Is a Sump Pump?
A sump pump is a device installed either in your basement or crawl space to collect and remove excess water. This water typically accumulates in a “sump” or a pit. Sump pumps are specifically designed to remove water to prevent flooding and excess moisture in these areas of your home.
Here’s how a sump pump works to protect your property and belongings.
- Step 1: A drainage system around your foundation collects runoff and groundwater and directs it into the sump pit.
- Step 2: As the water level rises, a float switch inside the pit rises with it, and once the water reaches a certain height, the switch triggers the pump to turn on.
- Step 3: Once the pump is activated, it draws the water upward through a pipe, sending it out of your home and into a storm drain system or a designated area outside.
- Step 4: When the water level in the pit drops, the float switch lowers and turns the sump pump off.
- Step 5: A one-way check valve keeps water inside the discharge pipe from flowing back into the pit once the pump is turned off.
Sump Pump Repair vs Replacement
You may wonder whether you should have your sump pump repaired or replaced. The average lifespan of a sump pump is between seven and 10 years. Older pumps are much more vulnerable to failure and should be replaced. If you’re paying for frequent repairs or if the repair costs are 50% or more than the cost of a new unit, a replacement is also a better option. However, if your sump pump is having minor issues that won’t cost much to fix, a repair is ideal.
Why You Need Professional Sump Pump Services
Professional sump pump services include sump pump maintenance, repairs, and installations or replacements. There are many reasons why homeowners should use services performed by local sump pump experts.
Prevent water damage
If you have a basement, a well-maintained, functional sump pump is the best way to prevent flooding. Professional sump pump services, like maintenance and repairs, help you make sure that your pump is functioning as it should and that the pump is ready to activate to remove excess water. Using these professional services is a smart way to prevent excessive and costly water damage to your home. You’ll also protect your home’s foundation and prevent serious structural issues associated with flooding.
Guarantees proper installation
While you can attempt to install a sump pump yourself, it’s a job best left to the professionals. Elite Rooter’s local sump pump installation services help you rest easy knowing that your new sump pump is the right size for your home. Our plumbers also confirm that the sump pump is installed in the proper location and connected to discharge lines that will channel water away from your home safely. Improper installation may lead to pump failure or poor performance.
Helps you maintain optimal performance
Routine sump pump maintenance from experienced plumbers includes important tasks like checking the float switch, electrical connections, and discharge pipes. Elite Rooter also checks and clears any sludge or debris that could clog the pipes and lead to messy backups. Choosing professional maintenance is the best way to keep your sump pump running as efficiently as possible.
Prevents costly repairs and replacement
Professional sump pump services help you avoid costly repairs and sump pump replacement. Our experienced plumbers find problems early before they turn into frustrating and expensive breakdowns. Finding and repairing issues early, like a clogged float switch or a damaged impeller, is much less expensive than having to pay for a full sump pump replacement later.
Supports a healthier home environment
Keeping a basement dry helps limit mold, mildew, and bacteria growth and supports better indoor air quality. A properly installed and maintained sump pump reduces the risk of flooding and water damage, giving homeowners more confidence during wet weather.

Sump Pump FAQs
Do I need a battery backup for my sump pump?
A backup battery is highly recommended for your sump pump to keep it operational during storms or other instances when the power goes out. Without a backup battery, your sump pump will stop working if you lose power, which may result in flooding or costly water damage.
What’s the cost of sump pump repair or installation?
The average cost of sump pump repair is between $100 and $500, depending on the complexity of the issue and whether it’s an emergency. The cost of new sump pump installation is between $500 and $2,000, depending on labor costs, the type of sump pump you install, and any additional features like battery backup.
What type of sump pump is best for my home?
The best pump depends on your budget and needs. A pedestal sump pump has the motor on the shaft above the sump portion, out of the water. These pumps are less expensive than a submersible pump. A submersible sump pump has many horsepower rating options and tends to be the go-to choice for most homeowners.
