Keep Your Basement Dry Through Every Spring Melt

Around Sturgeon County the ground stays frozen until it very suddenly isn't — and all that water has to go somewhere. A sump system collects groundwater in a pit below your basement floor and pumps it away from the foundation before it finds your carpet. When it works, you never think about it. When it fails, it fails during the worst week of March.

Installation & replacement

We size the pump to your pit and inflow — not just "whatever's on the shelf" — set the float so it cycles properly, and run the discharge line where it won't freeze solid in January or dump water back against your foundation. Replacing a tired pump before it quits costs a fraction of a flooded basement claim.

Battery backup systems

Pumps fail when storms knock the power out — precisely when the pit fills fastest. A battery backup unit takes over automatically and keeps pumping for hours without grid power. If your basement is finished, we consider it standard equipment, not an upgrade.

Repair & maintenance

Stuck floats, jammed impellers, failed check valves, frozen discharge lines — most sump problems are quick fixes if they're caught before the water rises. We test the system properly (with water, not a guess) on every visit, and we answer flooding calls 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a sump pump last?
Most pumps run 7–10 years. If yours is past that, cycles constantly, or hums without pumping, replace it before the spring melt tests it.
Do I need a battery backup sump pump?
If your basement is finished, yes. Pumps fail most often during big storms — exactly when the power is most likely to go out. A battery backup keeps pumping through an outage.
How do I know my sump pump is failing?
Constant cycling, grinding or rattling noises, visible rust, a pit that stays full, or a pump that runs but moves no water. Any of these is worth a call before the water table rises.
How often should a sump pump be tested?
Twice a year — pour a bucket of water into the pit and confirm the float triggers and the pit drains. We check it as part of any service visit, and every spring is the minimum.
Can you come out if my basement is flooding right now?
Yes — that's exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. Call 780.939.4975 and we'll get a licensed plumber moving.
