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.

This is one of the honest company I have requested Plumbing services for. I requested an inspection on my downspout from them and they sent a technician the same day within a few hours. The technician was Devonte. He was professional and very honest. He explained the system for me clearly and share some expectations upfront. I really like his humanity side and represents his company well.

The Waterworks plumbing company provided a pleasant and efficient plumber to open up my outside drain from the street to the sump pump. They did this for me about five years ago. My service man was very professional and took care to do his best. Price increased significantly in five years but otherwise, I’m satisfied with the outcome. They did however, offer once again a senior discount.
