Choosing the Right Sump Pump

  • Submersible: sits in the pit under water—quiet operation and great for finished spaces.
  • Pedestal: motor stays above the pit—easy service access and a good fit for tight basins.
  • Backup options: battery or water-powered backups to keep pumping during outages.
  • Smart monitoring: optional alarms or Wi-Fi alerts if water rises unexpectedly.

Best Time to Install or Replace

  • New build or remodel with a basement or low crawl space
  • History of seepage, flooding, or a damp, musty smell after rain
  • Existing pump runs constantly, is noisy, or is more than 8–10 years old
  • Visible rusted components, stuck float, or frequent breaker trips

Why Trust Captain Plumber

  • Right-sized systems: pump capacity matched to pit, drainage, and site conditions
  • Clean installs: pits cut and sealed neatly; discharge routed safely away from the foundation
  • Reliability: quality pumps, check valves, and backup options from proven brands
  • Code-ready: GFCI protection, dedicated circuits, and permits handled as needed
  • Clear guidance: maintenance tips so your system is ready when you need it

Quick Answers

  • How often should a pump be serviced? Test monthly; have a full check each year before rainy season.
  • Do I need a battery backup? Highly recommended—storms and power outages often arrive together.
  • Can you replace just the pump? Yes. We reuse a sound basin and plumbing when safe and up to code.
  • Will the work be messy? We protect floors, contain dust, and leave the area spotless.
