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.

Highly recommend JonLe Heating & Cooling! Our AC froze up a few weeks back. The "other guys" who didn't catch our AC leak during the spring tune-up appointment came out quoting crazy high costs to recharge, crazy high repair estimates, and provided us 4 new AC unit options with little information or context. Then the pressure tactics started the next day: only one unit left in stock, one appointment tomorrow and next available a week out, etc. After a reasonably priced recharge from a friend of a friend, I was able to extend the life of the AC in order to shop around. JonLe Heating & Cooling provided a free second opinion. Frank came out for a visit, assessed the current state, and worked with us to understand our AC concerns in order to quote the correct system for needs. We did not have to debate whether a seer X rated system was worth hundreds or thousands more than a seer Y rated system. Frank recommended and quoted a single system to us, and walked us through the specs and features and throroughly explained the pros/cons and why this system fit our needs. At that point, I was happy to leave the "choose your own adventure" pricing of the other guys behind. Admittedly, I was bracing myself for sticker shock, but feeling confident about spending money on the right system for us. I was pleasantly surprised that the system was not only better spec'd than the other guys "top tier" option, but was also THOUSANDS of dollars cheaper. Win-win! Install went smoothly. Techs were super friendly. Frank even stopped by to check in on the progress midday. And to top it all off, JonLe did not charge a processing fee for using a credit card. All around amazing experience with JonLe Heating & Cooling. Highly recommend!
Quick response! Jason was an excellent service tech. He was informative and efficient. Thank you so much.
The technician was great work was great . We just thought it was a little bit higher than we expected. But we do appreciate you getting to us so soon.
Jonle has been servicing my HVAC for years. Also installed my current systems. Always dependable with positive results. Their personnel are always courteous and helpful
Peter was our technician he showed up early and quickly repaired a gas leak behind the wall of our kitchen he was polite and friendly and explained to us what he was doing as the work was being done we feel he did an expert job of the repair and we really appreciated how reasonable the cost was considering the work involved thanks Peter!
Very happy they responded quickly and was able to perform emergency service after normal hours!
Great experience with Waterworks to tune up our AC this week. Tyler our technician showed up right on time, exactly when the company said he would - and he let us know he was on the way, which was very much appreciated. He was knowledgeable, personable, professional, and his communication skills are to be commended. Explained what he was working on every step of the way in a clear and easy way. The same goes for Garrett, the technician who showed up to work on the water heater. Overall, very pleased with the service and result. Prices are still a little high, but so far, worth it.
They were able to uncover a neighbor's shedding pine tree that was clogging up the condensing coils. I wasn't aware of this had to be addressed periodically to prevent problems. I am ever so glad for my annual maintenance plan ! Thanks JonLe , Larry Farwick
Kameron Gates arrived on time and did excellent work for us. He was engaging and explained everything he did.
Will not hesitate to hire Waterworks again. On time, clean work, good to work with. John our plumber was great.
Omar came out to camera a drainage pipe for me. He was very nice and knowledgeable. He walked through everything he was doing, showed me the camera/ what he was seeing, and listened to my ideas about the busted pipe. We had good personal conversations and I hope to see him again soon. Omar was great!!
Jay and Ali were wonderful - he examined all of my concerns in detail and determined that we actually were not yet in need of repairs (which had been recommended by a different plumber). We will absolutely use Waterworks when the time comes for a service! Thoughtful, courteous service. Would recommend!
JonLe does a fantastic job. Their technicians are very knowledgeable, show up on time and do a thorough review of our HVA system.
Rob Webb did a fantastic job. Finding out my problem. He explained what needed done. He went right to work and was able to clean and unclogged the blockage.
Waterworks was able to come and try to fix and ultimately replace my hot water tank the same day. The guys were very knowledgeable and explained all of my options.
The technician was on time, knowledgable, and personable. We are well satisfied with the service we received.
Been using Jonle for almost 20 years at 3 separate addresses! They are reliable, friendly and a pleasure to work with, Noah came out today and was quick and efficient as always. Thanks guys, will recommend you every time.
Chad is very knowledgeable and was able to identify the AC problem quickly. Highly recommended!
I have been using JonLe/Tri County Heating and Cooling for many years for both annual preventative maintenance and furnace & AC equipment replacement. Both their service and installation technicians are highly skilled and provided excellent service. They always arrived during the provided window of time.
Hello! I'm a little late posting my review because life has been busy. Anyways. I came home from work to a VERY HOT house and immediately knew something was wrong. I contacted JonLe the next morning and they were very helpful, kind and were able to squeeze me in that same morning. Todd S. called to notify me that he was on his way and arrived a short time later. After looking over my unit and listening to my description of what was going on, he quickly diagnosed the issue and told me what part needed to be replaced, quoted me an affordable and reasonable price to repair and got to work. Todd saved the day for me. He stayed a few extra minutes longer to ensure my unit was working properly and that I was able to notice the cold air flowing out. He is absolutely amazing and I am eternally grateful for his assistance and hard work. Thank you, Todd and JonLe!!! They definitely get all five stars from me!
Service arrived in the expected window of time and Cory took his time evaluating since our issue was a bit of a mystery. Cory explained everything in a clear manner. We were given options and with his professional experience came up with a plan with no pressure.
We had to replace a leaking water heater. Austin was on time and kept us informed step by step during the process. We would certainly not hesitate to call Waterworks for any plumbing needs in the future!
Devonte was not just professional, he was also personal. He treated my home maintenance needs as more than a job for a customer. He easily replaced an almost 80 year old drain pipe and listened and responded to all my questions. Thanks Devonte!
Lonnie did a fine jo diagnosing the problem and completing the repair. I especially liked the fact that WW was able to provide service much quicker than your competitors. I feel that whoever dispatches to the job site did not read the information I provided that the toilet was over a crawl space and a smaller stature plumber might be necessary. Fortunately everything was completed from above but things could have easily gone the other way.
Long time client to Electra Bore Water Works over 60 years. Always the same professional service that's on time and done with care that has been the same for anytime we called. Michael was wonderful and professional today. Highly recommend, keep up the good work and thank you very much for all the wonderful years of service we have received. Always my go to.
Very Pleasant to work with, on time and professional, Keep me updated as the job progressed.
I’ve used Waterworks for both plumbing and HVAC services. The experiences were all very positive and professional. The technicians were helpful in explaining the issues I was having and potential solutions. Pricing was very competitive. I absolutely recommend them and they will be my go-to for anything I need serviced in the future.
JonLe heating and air conditioning personnel have always been courteous, well qualified and always take care of furnace and air conditioning needs. Steve has been service person whom I always ask for. So he has been servicing my utilities for many years. He is excellent. I always know and feel confident that all will be well after he has done yearly maintenance. Staff whom I speak with to schedule appointments are always very helpful and cordial. They work with my schedule which can be dicey.
Great service. My technician was knowledge and freely shared that knowledge with me so I understood what happened with my unit.
Jason was very professional and thorough with our service. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail.
Called on a Monday morning they were here in 30 minutes. I can tell you I have a hot water boiler they fixed street side auto fill valve and a backflow preventer. 2 of the nicest guys, explained in detail very friendly honest open. Office staff was great as well... They even came next morning to readjust something at no charge.. very cool. They are my go to.
Customer service from the initial phone call to the entire service appointment was excellent. Great communication and all my questions were answered. I will use WaterWorks again. Debbie Thurston
