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.

Rating
Matt Sunnenberg did a wonderful job diagnosing the problem with our AC. He knew what the issue was before opening the compartment to show me the AC coil unit. 19 years old and the rust and decay of the unit was amassing to see. Matt explained all of our options and the cost involved. His advice to replace all of the AC components made the most sense and we felt most confident in his recommendation. Because of the delay in getting the new AC unit ordered and installed, Matt did us a big favor by adding enough Freon to our existing unit in order to keep the house cool temporarily. Thank you, Mike
The appointment couldn't have gone better. It appears that the hose from the water softener had come loose from the drain pipe and that's what was causing the water problem. Thanks for coming out . I hope the problem was taken care of. I wasnt charged as he was there for less than 15 minutes.
We have been dealing with this company for 30 years. They are top notch and all their technicians are very professional and knowledgeable. We subscribe to their maintenance contracts and as a result we have never had a breakdown. They don't try to sell you stuff that you don't need.
We have used Jonle for all our HVAC needs for many years. They are always responsive, on time, respectful of your property, and do what they say they are going to do. We highly recommend them.
Jonle was wonderful to work with from the start. Patrick was excellent- knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and quickly followed up with a quote and timeframe even though the service manager was out of the office that day. I received prompt communication the next morning about the tech’s arrival window, additional text reminders, and even a call the following morning asking if we’d like to move up our timeframe due to a cancellation. Our service tech Chad was kind, professional, got the job done quickly and spent time answering my questions & talking me through everything. I felt very confident in the work he did and information he provided. Their pricing was competitive and significantly better than one of “bigger” names out there (a company we will never be using again now that we’ve found Jonle). It was more in line with other fairly priced companies. Everything was excellent from start to finish and we will use them again in the future and also recommend to others!
Jonle 's employees are very courteous, experienced, and knowledgeable. I can always count on them when needed. They keep my system up and running!
We've been using JonLe for all our HVAC for many years. They are an A+ company with great people. The technicians are friendly, experienced, and very knowledgeable. We use their maintenance plan and get two checkups a year. Best deal ever. JonLe is a fantastic company and I never expect to use anyone else.
Matt was great and resolved my issues for a reasonable cost. AC up and running
Great experience this morning with Matt , prompt, professional,Went right to work. Diagnosed the issue, anserded my questions,made the repair. Thank You...!
Technician very polite, professional. He was on time and actually early for my scheduled appointment. I have been using Jonle for over 30 years. Never been disappointed.
Waterworks has been a true partner in all aspects of plumbing repairs. At any moment, I can call and the representatives are truly dedicated to ensuring a pleasant experience. The technicians are very professional and take the time to ensure accuracy with all repairs. I will definitely advocate Waterworks for all your plumbing repairs.
Waterworks is my go to company. I have used them many times. They are quick to respond and do a fabulous job!! Their employees are knowledgeable, and provide excellent customer service.
No complaints over the four or five years Jonle has kept our heating and AC working smoothly. Furnace broke down in the freezing weather and they were out the same day, replacing it faster than seemed possible.
JonLe has knowledge technicians who arrive on time and are very good at what they do. They explain everything being done and are proactive on all maintenance items.
We have used Jonle for 20 years and Steve has been our technician the entire time. I keep asking for Steve. He is excellent.. We've had our furnace and A/C unit replaced by Jonle and have saved money on our utility bill. I will not use any other heating company. You can trust this company to do the job right the first time.
Very professional service! I have yearly maintenance done and they are great every year!
I use waterworks for annual maintenance of my drain lines. They are professional and willing to accommodate any scheduling issues. Luke came out today and did a great job.
Been using JonLe for approx 7 or 8 years. My Tech Tim is Great. Very knowledgeable takes his time and leaves everything spotless. Give them a try. You will be .satisfied.
Todd and The Waterworks performed another 5 star service. Greatly appreciate their plumbing and HVAC services.
On a Tuesday evening at 5pm, we described the problem to Waterworks expecting to have to wait a couple of weeks for an appointment. Instead, they were able to get us on the schedule for Thursday afternoon (only 2 days later)! That day, Brian, our plumber, called and texted to say he when he would arrive, and he did right on schedule. He looked at the problem and identified a couple of different ways it could be handled. Then, Brian looked at pricing for each option to determine the one that was most long lasting yet cost effective. He then worked quickly but carefully to complete the job. And Brian did a great job cleaning up! Couldn't be happier with the job.
Very professional, top-notch service. We had an issue with our sump pump, it was resolved and exceeded my expectations. Great job.
I've been with Jonle for years. As always, the service man was excellent, explained everything, answered all my questions, set everything back to my preference, and even brought in my Amazon package from my porch.
We called and got an appointment immediately. Omar came out and looked at our sink and clogged drain letting us know every step what was going on and what he may be doing going forward until our drain was clear. He was very respectful and friendly and would definitely call them again.
Conrad came in and did a thorough check of the pipes. Fixed the leak and potential leak areas. Fast, friendly and did a great job!
Mark was professional, courteous, thorough and very informative. He was on time and efficient.
Waterworks came right out and saved the day. I had a leak in my crawl space. He came out found the problem and fixed quickly. And didnt cost a fortune.
Repaired previously installed outdoor faucet fixture at no charge even though it was out of warranty (by a week or so)
We received great, prompt and courteous service from Jonle when replacing our furnace. They didn't use high pressure tactics, pleasantly answered all of our questions. The installers were efficient, clean and professional. Our sales person, Jeff Gray followed through until everything was complete and he knew we were satisfied.
Chad did a great job . He serviced the AC unit, and he had to return to finish the job when the temperature cooperated.
I have been a customer of Jonle for 18 years. They have always been very professional and dependable. I would highly recommend Jonle for all your Heating and AC needs.
I tried to do what I thought was a simple diy turned disaster lol. Peter was great ,very knowledgeable fixed the pipe in my shower. Would recommend Peter and waterworks plan to use again for future projects. Thanks
Technician showed up on time, fixed the two problems, cleaned up, and gave us good advice for future preventative maintenance.
Ivan was extremely responsive, did great work, and provided very helpful tips. I’ve used Waterworks several times for our old home. They always do a great job.
