Diagnostic Approach
How We Evaluate
a Sump Pump System.
Whether it's a repair or a new install, the evaluation follows the same steps:
1
Inspect Pit & System
We check the pit for debris or blockage, the float switch for free movement, and the discharge line for clogs, kinks, or improper slope.
2
Evaluate the Pump
We test whether the pump cycles correctly, check motor performance, and confirm the unit is sized for the actual water volume it needs to handle.
3
Repair or Install
A failed float switch or check valve is often a same-visit fix. A full replacement is sized to your basement's actual flood risk, not a generic default.
4
Test Discharge
We run water through the system to confirm the pump activates at the right level and discharges fully away from the foundation.
