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. Â
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. Â
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. Â

Rating
Waterworks has been my go-to for years, and they consistently deliver excellent service. Easy, timely scheduling, and they always send experienced, knowledgeable professionals who take the time to thoroughly explain what's going on and walk me through my options. I especially appreciate that they don't just fix the issue - they take the time to answer my questions and provide guidance so I can maintain things myself going forward. They stick to their original quotes when things become more complicated and provide options to manage my costs (e.g. order a part myself.) I had two services in the past two weeks: a kitchen sink installation that required reconfiguring and replacing all of the hardware underneath, and a toilet repair for which the part was not available, but the rep helped me order the correct part and provided enough instruction to install it when it arrives.
My experience with The Waterworks has been very good. Michael assessed my plumbing issues and made necessary repairs. I really appreciated the fact he pointed out that I didn't need the service I thought I did. Thus, I was not overcharged. I recommend The Waterworks if you need plumbing service.
The service was excellent and the young man who came out was very professional.
Standard toilet clog they were here within 2 hours.thays why I'm a loyal customer
Very impressed with the courtesy and knowledge of plumber Jonathan. He was able to repair the leak in record time having to cut pipes etc. Great job. Emergency service is stressful!
Chris showed up 2 hours early (after a courtesy call). The service call was not needed as it was my own naivety that caused this situation. Chris clearly explained the dilemma and was out the door in 20 minutes. This is not the first time that I have had Water Works out to my house and it WILL NOT be the last. SUPER company!
They called ahead to see if they could come earlier, not an issue. Cory was respectful and worked quietly and finished his work with no issues. Highly recommend them.
We thought our sump pump had failed and needed to be replaced. Tech showed up on time and found that the breaker had been flipped. No pressure to purchase something we didn't need....he just flipped the breaker, told us that was what was wrong, told us he turned it on and confirmed the sump pump was working and left. Great experience! Will definitely call them again if we have another issue!
I have had no experience with the Water Works prior to this trip. I am so glad I gave them a try. I had 2 guys on 2 separate days and they were wonderful, knowledgeable and caring. Thank you Mike and Matt you came in and took the time and answered my questions and fixed the problem. I will certainly give you referrals and positive feedback!! I think you guys should get a raise! Thanks again for helping me!!
Service was very good. The technicians were great and knew their business. I was very satisfied. They also replaced some PVC pipes.
Super professional install and excellent follow-up troubleshooting. Thanks to Shane, Jayden, Tom, Walt, and Antwone for their quality service. equally big thanks to Waterworks/Hetter Heating and Cooling.
Received great service in one day 22 degrees outside definitely use this team again. Thanks guys
John came out for preventative maintenance on my sewer line because of a tree in my front yard always having roots entering the line and causing backup. He did a great job and sent his 6 inch blade the full 90 feet to clear the line.
We called a few plumbers for the same issue at Horizon High School. They all came, inspected the problem, and left after giving us repair quotes. Thomas from Water Works was different. He carefully examined the issue, explained how the system works in detail, and offered a very effective solution. He didn’t just give us a quote — he took the time to help us understand the problem and then fixed it properly. We truly appreciated his professionalism, knowledge, and clear communication. Highly recommended!
Victor did a wonderful job. It took awhile to clear the obstruction but he hung in there. Plus he knows how to work with old, crabby women who just want their kitchen in working order. Thanks, Victor.
The whole experience with Waterworks was positive. I called during the weekend and spoke to a representative and scheduled a service call for Monday. They arrived at the time that was promised and a call was made 30 minutes prior to arrival. The technician was courteous and explained what potentially could have occurred and what options I would have. Service call was completed and I am very satisfied with the entire process.
Will was very professional. He updated me on all the things he was doing to diagnose the problem. I felt he went over and beyond. He knew I was concerned about the cost and for some reason I did not renew my Silver Plan. In the past month I had to get a new water heater, my fireplace went out and today I needed to get new glasses. Being on a fixed income is worrisome. I was happy though with the service I received.
Technician that can in today (Mark J) did a very thorough job of routine maintenance work. Thanks!!!
JonLe was awesome to work with they didn’t hassle us during the buying process or make us feel rushed, they gave us time and space to figure things out and let us know if we had questions we were free to ask. Makes it easier when making a huge purchase for your home. We were able to call and schedule the new HVAC install quickly and they work efficiently and left everything clean and tidy when done! They explained everything to us when they finished the install and let us know all the important details and what to expect. I would highly recommend JonLe to anyone in need of a new HVAC system! They also had very easy finance options for the system which was also nice to see.
We’ve been loyal JonLe customers since 1996 which included replacing all furnaces and A/C units as well as installing zoned heating and cooling solutions throughout our homes. They are always highly professional, prompt with excellent service at all times. I would not go anywhere else. Their sales, installation and service teams are first rate! Thanks JonLe!
The technician was very polite and knowledgeable about his job. He did an excellent job and was very enthusiastic about his work.
The technicians were very friendly and knowledgable. They explained what was wrong and what they did to fix the problem. They also told me my unit was under warranty for parts and labor, so I did not have to pay for the service. That was a nice surprise! Thank you JonLee!
We had a backup in the main sanitary line of one of our office buildings. Logan stuck with it till the issue was resolved. Even through some of the frustrations Logan handled everything with grace and professionalism.
I had a problem with my kitchen sink draining, I called and had Kevin show up within a couple of hours he was able to clear the line. I was very pleased to get my problem taken care of in such a timely manor.
Kitchen drain not draining properly. Came and cleaned out with the equipment needed to do the job.
