Keep Water Out of Your Home
When groundwater rises during Bay Area winters, your sump pump is what keeps your basement, crawlspace, and foundation dry. If it fails — or you don’t have one — water can cause thousands in damage and breed mold fast.
We install new sump pumps, replace worn-out units, and repair pumps that won’t start, run constantly, or fail to keep up. We also add battery backup systems so your pump keeps working even when a storm knocks out the power — exactly when you need it most.

Sump Pump Installation & Repair — Questions & Answers
How do I know if my sump pump is failing?
Watch for a pump that runs constantly, won’t turn on when the pit fills, makes strange noises, or is more than 7-10 years old. Any of these means it’s time for service.
Do I need a battery backup sump pump?
It’s highly recommended. Storms — exactly when you need the pump most — often cause power outages. A battery backup keeps your home protected when the power’s out.
How long do sump pumps last?
Most last around 7 to 10 years. If yours is in that range or older, it’s smart to test it and consider replacement before storm season.
Can you install a sump pump where there isn't one?
Yes. If your basement or crawlspace floods or stays damp, we can install a properly sized pump and pit to keep it dry.
Should I test my sump pump before winter?
Definitely. We test the float, check valve, and discharge line so you know it’ll work when the rains come. It’s far cheaper than a flooded basement.
