Sump Pumps
Sump pump installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement for homes and businesses in Dayton and the Miami Valley.
A sump pump usually fails at the worst time. You might find a wet basement floor after a spring storm, a pump that runs nonstop, or one that hums but never moves water. A stuck float switch, a bad check valve, or a blocked discharge line can each cause it. So can a motor that has worn out. We install, maintain, repair, and replace sump pumps for homes and businesses around Dayton, Kettering, Centerville and nearby towns. We start at the pit. We test the float, check the valve, look over the discharge line, and run the pump with water in the pit. If a repair makes sense, we tell you. If the pump is near the end of its life, we tell you that too, and you'll know the price before any work starts. Same-day appointments are available Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM. If your pump starts acting up, call us as early in the day as you can.

Common questions
How often should a sump pump be checked?
Test it before the wet spring season and again in the fall. Pour a bucket of water into the pit and make sure the pump turns on and shuts off. If it doesn't, or if it grinds or rattles, call us for a maintenance visit.
Can you come out the same day if my basement is taking on water?
Same-day appointments are available Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM, so call as early in the day as you can.
Should I repair or replace my sump pump?
It depends on the pump's age and what failed. A stuck float or a bad check valve is often a simple repair, but a burned-out motor usually means a new pump. We'll explain both options when both make sense.
