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.

We have been using JonLe for almost 40 years. We have never had a single problem with them. The office staff are always very friendly and helpful. The technician’s are always on time and very knowledgeable and respectful of your property. They will advise you have any issues and make suggestions to improve your heating and cooling systems but they are never a hard sell. They have been with us through 2 houses and now a condo. We always purchase the yearly maintenance package so they come once in the spring and again late fall or early winter. We wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Thank you.

My intention was to have sent this email a few days ago, but it is only now that I have the opportunity to do so. I want to express my appreciation to Waterworks for the prompt response to our request for emergency services on Tuesday 1/27 and especially to Mat Ball, the technician who, despite weather conditions, made it to our home early that morning. Mat was knowledgeable and diligent and took care of the situation in a timely and professional manner. When the job was completed, he walked us through all that was needed to get it done. Many people take care of business, what sets Mat apart is the pleasant demeanor he exhibits while performing his responsibilities. Great Job, J.A.Mesquida

Had them do a water softener installation. Plumber who showed up at my house was very polite, personable, and efficient. Didn’t take him long at all to do the job, was even able to do things in a way that saved us about $400 off the original estimate. Would highly recommend this company for plumbing needs.
