Frequently Asked Questions
How much does sump pump installation cost?
Every basement is different. That is why we provide free, no-pressure estimates with detailed pricing based on your specific situation.
Do I need a battery backup system?
If your area experiences power outages during storms, or if you've had basement flooding in the past, a battery backup provides critical protection when you need it most. We'll help you decide what's right for your home.
How long does installation take?
Most sump pump installations are completed in one day. We'll give you a clear timeline during your free inspection.
Will a sump pump fix all my basement water problems?
A sump pump handles groundwater and rising water tables. If you have foundation cracks or water seeping through walls, you may also need crack repair or interior drainage. We'll assess your entire basement and recommend the right combination of solutions.
What maintenance does a sump pump need?
We recommend annual inspections to test the float switch, verify the check valve, clear the discharge line, and inspect the battery (if equipped). Most pumps last for years with proper maintenance.
What warranty do you offer?
Wayne® pumps and nForcer battery backup systems come with 3-year warranties. Our installation workmanship is backed by our transferable lifetime guarantee.
