What We Do
New Sump Crock Installation
New sump crock and primary pump install with proper basin, check valve, and discharge routing. We use Zoeller and Liberty pumps — quality cast iron units, not hardware-store throwaways.
Sump Pump Replacement
Old pump cycling constantly or not at all? Same day replacement and haul away in most cases. If your basin is in rough shape, we can swap that too.
Battery & Water-Driven Backups
Storms knock out power. A backup pump kicks in when the main pump can't run — we install both battery and water-driven backup systems. This is the single best basement-protection upgrade you can make in Michigan.
Sump Pump Repair
Float switch stuck, check valve failed, motor burned out — we diagnose and decide whether repair makes sense or replacement is the smarter call.
Drain Tile & Perimeter Drain Work
If water is making it past your perimeter drain into the basement, the issue may be upstream. We can clean and inspect drain tile and recommend a fix.
Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Attention
Noticing any of these? It's time to call a licensed plumber.
Runs constantly
It cycles even when it's dry out.
Strange noises or vibration
Worn bearings or a failing motor.
7+ years old
Past the typical service life.
Basement dampness
Moisture the pump isn't keeping up with.
Doesn't kick on in heavy rain
A stuck switch or dead pump.
No battery backup
It fails exactly when the power does.
