Why Do You Need a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is your first line of defense against basement flooding, especially in areas prone to heavy rain and groundwater issues. Installed in the lowest part of your home, it pumps out excess water before it can cause:

  • Costly water damage to your basement or foundation
  • Mold and mildew growth, improving indoor air quality
  • Damage to stored belongings in basements
  • Electrical hazards caused by standing water

According to the American Society of Home Inspectors, nearly 60% of homes experience basement moisture issues—many suffering from full-blown flooding. A properly working sump pump ensures peace of mind and long-term protection.  

Types of Sump Pumps We Install & Service

Not all sump pumps are the same. The Waterworks offers a range of sump pump solutions to fit your needs:

Primary Sump Pumps

  • Submersible Sump Pumps – Installed inside the sump pit, these pumps efficiently handle large amounts of water and resist clogging (lifespan: 5–15 years).
  • Pedestal Sump Pumps – The motor sits above the pit, making it easier to maintain. These pumps last up to 30 years but may not handle debris as effectively.

Backup Sump Pumps

  • Battery Backup Sump Pumps – Keeps working even during a power outage, ensuring your basement stays dry if the primary pump fails.
  • Water-Powered Backup Sump Pumps – Uses municipal water pressure instead of electricity, offering a reliable, low-maintenance backup solution.

Combination Sump Pumps

  • Primary + Backup Systems – A dual-protection system that automatically switches to backup power during storms or blackouts.

Sewage Ejector Pumps

  • Essential for homes with basements or septic systems to pump wastewater into the main sewer line.

Not sure which sump pump is best for your home? Our experts can help you select the right system for maximum protection.  

Common Sump Pump Problems

Even the best sump pumps experience wear and tear. If you notice any of these warning signs, your sump pump may need repair or replacement:

  • Pump Not Turning On – Electrical issues, a stuck switch, or motor failure.
  • Unusual Noises – Grinding, rattling, or humming sounds signal mechanical failure.
  • Constantly Running Pump – Overworked or incorrectly sized for your home.
  • Flooded Basement – A clear sign your sump pump has failed or isn’t working efficiently.
  • Frozen or Clogged Discharge Pipe – Prevents proper water drainage, leading to backups.

If your sump pump isn’t working as it should, call us immediately. We provide 24/7 emergency sump pump repairs.

Had a recent service call from Jonle. They provided a text to let us know we were the first stop of the day at 8am. The service tech showed up right on time and provided the service for us in a friendly and professional manner. We have been a client with them since 2017. We have a service agreement for two visits per year (spring & fall)…..a great value! Great company and great people!

I've been using JonLe for my HVAC services for years and their technicians have always been professional, thorough, and honest. Today, Mark came out to do my annual AC maintenance. He's been here before, and I'm always appreciative of how he goes though everything he inspected and tuned up. He's very knowledgable and offers great advice to keep my system in tip top shape. I would highly recommend JonLe to anyone who needs HVAC service.

I had to have the HVAC compressor replaced. Matt, was the Service Repair man who installed my new compressor. He did an excellent job and had my AC up and running in about 4 hours! I was so thankful! I have used JonLe for over 30 years. They were very accommodating and was able to get my AC up and going on a 90° day! I have always been very pleased with their workmanship and their staff. I was fortunate enough to have the same service man, Dan, for my tune-ups for over a decade. Thank you!

I observed water backing up and fountaining from the outside downspout where it enters the ground during rainfall. To determine whether there was an underground blockage or another drainage issue, I contacted Waterworks for an inspection. The technician, Logan L., reviewed the situation, explained the range of possible causes, discussed potential outcomes, and provided sound recommendations for resolution. He was professional, courteous and very patient in explaining (and even re-explaining). When I need to work with Waterworks again, I would very much like to request Logan.

Look, sometimes your major appliances finally give out and when you’re faced with such situations, what you want is a reliable service that will help get your homestead back to normal operating order. That’s what these technicians (Conrad and Ryan) were able to do for me. They removed an 80gal hot water tank with nearly 2 decades of accumulated sediment out of one helluva tight utility closet in a condo. Installation of new tank was performed seamlessly, and they were a couple cool dudes that made the time go by easily. Took 1 business day to get on the Waterworks’ books. Job wrapped up within 5hrs. Appreciate the quality work.

Our tech was friendly and professional. He did a great job and communicated clearly. He turned off all the lights in the basement when done saving me time to not walk downstairs to turn them off, very conscious. Paperwork was electronic and speedily sent upon completion of the work. The dispatch personnel are pleasant to talk to, they are helpful and responsive. We have been using Jonle for many years and will continue due to the great service. We participate in the annual contract that gives two maintenance tune-ups, on for winter and one for summer. If problems arise the maintenance plan provides availability above non plan members, parts are cheaper and other perks.

I have had the maintenance service for years, and every technician that has come to my house has been on task, courteous, and respectful of the property. I really like that the company sends a photo of the technician and a brief description prior to his arrival. Any work they have done, including installing a new air conditioner and heat pump, has been professional, and I highly recommend them.

We recently had our sump pump replaced by The Waterworks, and I couldn't be happier with the service. Our technician, Kameron Gates, was professional, courteous, and punctual from start to finish. He arrived on time, wore shoe covers before entering our home, and took great care to keep everything clean throughout the job. Kameron performed a thorough inspection, explained the condition of our old sump pump, and replaced it with a new one. What really stood out was his attention to detail and willingness to answer every question we had. He clearly explained the work being done and made sure we understood everything before he left. After the installation, he cleaned the work area thoroughly and left everything in excellent condition.
