Sump pump installation, replacement, and repair — backed by licensed plumbers who understand the water table in Cape May County and Atlantic County, NJ.
New pit, failing pump, or aging backup system — our licensed plumbers handle every part of the job, done right the first time.
If your home doesn't have a sump pump yet — or you're finishing a basement and need one added — we handle the full installation. That includes excavating the pit, installing the liner and pump, running the discharge line to an appropriate outlet, and testing the system before we leave.
Most sump pumps last 7–10 years. If yours is aging, running constantly, or has already failed, we swap it out with a properly sized replacement. We match the pump to your pit depth and expected water volume — not just whatever fits.
Not every pump needs to be replaced. We diagnose the actual failure — float switch, check valve, motor, or discharge line obstruction — and repair what's broken. If repair isn't cost-effective given the pump's age, we'll tell you honestly and quote replacement at the same time.
Your primary pump is useless if the power goes out during a storm — exactly when you need it most. We install battery backup sump pump systems that kick in automatically when the primary pump fails or loses power, giving you a second line of defense when it matters.
A sump pump is only as good as where it sends the water. We inspect, repair, and reroute discharge lines that are undersized, improperly pitched, or discharging too close to the foundation — problems that cause water to flow right back into the pit.
Not sure if your pump is in good shape? We inspect the full system — pit liner, pump, float switch, check valve, and discharge line — and give you a clear picture of what's working and what needs attention before the next heavy rain.
If your pump is showing any of these signs, don't wait for the next storm to find out if it works.
A pump that hums but doesn't move water usually has a seized impeller or worn motor. A pump that doesn't turn on at all is typically a float switch failure or a tripped breaker. Either way, a non-functioning pump during a storm means a flooded basement — don't assume it'll work when you need it.
A pump that never shuts off is usually caused by a stuck float switch, a check valve that's allowing water to flow back into the pit, or a discharge line that's discharging too close to the foundation. Running constantly burns out the motor prematurely — this is a repair that needs to happen soon.
A properly functioning sump pump makes a consistent, moderate hum. Rattling suggests debris in the pit or a loose discharge connection. Grinding is a sign of worn bearings or impeller damage. Loud vibration often points to a pump that's too small for the pit — working too hard, too often.
If water reached your basement floor even though the pump ran, the system isn't keeping up. Common causes include an undersized pump, a discharge line that's frozen or blocked, or a pump that activated too late because the float switch wasn't set correctly. Water intrusion during the same storm the pump was running is a sign the system needs to be re-evaluated.
These are the warning signs homeowners miss — until the next nor'easter proves the pump wasn't ready.
