Sump Pumps
Sump Pump Installation & Repair
A sump pump only proves itself during the storm you needed it for — which is exactly when you don't want to find out it isn't working. We check it before the next storm rather than after the basement floods.
What we handle
- New sump pump installation
- Replacing a failed or aging pump
- Repairing a pump that's running constantly or not at all
- Battery backup systems for power-outage protection
Signs your sump pump needs attention
A pump that runs constantly is worth a call, and so is one that never seems to run at all during heavy rain. A musty smell in the basement is another common sign something's wrong. All of these are worth checking before the next storm, because a sump pump that's already failing rarely fixes itself.
Should you get a battery backup?
If your basement has ever flooded during a power outage, yes. A standard sump pump is only as reliable as the power feeding it, and heavy storms are exactly when the power is most likely to go out. A battery backup keeps the pump running when the power doesn't, and we can add one to an existing system without replacing the whole setup.
What a repair call actually involves
When a sump pump call comes in, we check the float switch first, since a stuck or misaligned float is one of the most common reasons a pump won't turn on when it should. From there we look at the pump itself, the discharge line for blockages or ice in winter, and the check valve that keeps water from flowing back into the pit. We explain what we find, plainly, in order, the same as every other call.
Serving the Poconos through every season
Basement flooding happens year-round here. Heavy rain, rapid snowmelt, and ice-related backups can each overwhelm a sump pump at a different time of year. We service and install sump pumps for homeowners across Stroudsburg and the surrounding Poconos, in every season.

Common Questions
How do I know if my sump pump is failing?
A pump that runs constantly, one that never seems to run at all during heavy rain, or a musty smell in the basement are the usual signs. Worth checking before the next storm rather than during it.
Should I get a battery backup?
If your basement floods during a power outage, yes. A battery backup keeps the pump running when the power doesn't. We can add one to an existing system.
How often should a sump pump be checked?
Once a year is a reasonable baseline, ideally before the wetter months. If yours has never been checked, that's worth doing regardless of season.
No water? We find out why. Then we fix it.
