Sump Pump Repair

Local plumbers in our network handle the full range of sump pump issues: replacing a stuck or failed float switch, swapping a leaking check valve, clearing or repairing a clogged discharge line, fixing or replacing a worn impeller, and installing or testing a battery backup. They also diagnose pumps that won't turn on or run constantly, and can replace the whole unit when a repair no longer makes sense.

Clearing visible debris from the pit or resetting a tripped breaker is fine to try yourself. But a pump that won't turn on, runs constantly, or is letting water in usually points to a failed switch, check valve, or impeller that needs a pro. A failed sump pump can flood a finished basement in one storm, so when in doubt, it's worth having a licensed plumber diagnose it properly.

Costs vary based on the part that failed, the pump type, and whether it's a repair or a full replacement. A float switch or check valve replacement typically runs $130 to $350, while a full pump replacement runs $400 to $1,200 depending on the unit and any backup system. Our pros provide an upfront estimate before any work begins.
