Sump Pump Installation & Repair That Lasts
We stop basement flooding fast with dependable sump pump solutions, expert repairs, and honest service.
Service Details
At Connected Plumbing, we know how fast a wet basement can turn into a big problem. A failing sump pump can lead to standing water, damaged flooring, mold growth, and expensive repairs. That is why we offer professional sump pump installation and repair services built to keep your home protected when heavy rain, rising groundwater, or drainage issues threaten your basement or crawl space.
We provide honest recommendations, skilled workmanship, and fast service. If your sump pump has stopped working, is making strange noises, runs nonstop, or cannot keep up during storms, we can inspect the system, find the cause, and fix the issue. If you need a new sump pump installed, we will help you choose the right setup for your home, water conditions, and budget.
What Our Sump Pump Service Includes
Our sump pump installation and repair service is designed to cover the full system, not just the pump itself. We look at the sump basin, float switch, discharge piping, check valve, power supply, drainage path, and overall performance of the unit. This helps us solve the root issue instead of just treating the symptom.
- New sump pump installation
- Sump pump replacement
- Sump pump troubleshooting and repair
- Float switch repair and replacement
- Check valve replacement
- Discharge line inspection and repair
- Backup sump pump recommendations and installation
- Testing and performance checks
- Emergency sump pump service when available
Sump Pump Installation
A proper sump pump installation starts with choosing the right equipment. Not every home needs the same pump. We consider the size of the sump pit, the amount of water entering the basin, the lift needed to move water out, and how often the pump may need to run. We install dependable sump pump systems that are sized correctly and set up for reliable operation.
When we install a sump pump, we pay attention to the details that matter. That includes secure connections, proper discharge routing, check valve placement, safe electrical access, and correct float operation. A pump that is installed wrong may short cycle, clog, burn out early, or fail when you need it most. We make sure your system is set up to work the way it should.
If your current sump pump is old, undersized, or unreliable, we can replace it with a new unit that better matches your home's needs. We can also talk with you about backup options for added protection during storms or power outages.
Sump Pump Repair
If your sump pump is acting up, we can diagnose the problem and explain your options clearly. Some issues can be fixed with a simple part replacement. Others may point to a pump that is near the end of its life. Our goal is to restore dependable performance while helping you avoid repeat problems.
Common sump pump problems we repair include:
- Pump will not turn on
- Pump runs constantly
- Pump hums but does not pump water
- Bad float switch or stuck float
- Clogged or frozen discharge line
- Failed check valve
- Motor overheating
- Vibration, rattling, or unusual noise
- Frequent cycling or poor drainage
We will inspect the system, identify worn or damaged parts, and let you know whether repair or replacement makes the most sense. We believe in straightforward advice and practical solutions.
Signs You May Need Sump Pump Service
Many homeowners do not think about their sump pump until they have water where it should not be. If you notice any of the signs below, it is smart to have the system checked before the next storm hits.
- Water collecting in the basement or crawl space
- Damp walls or musty odors
- The pump is more than 7 to 10 years old
- Loud noises during operation
- Visible rust or corrosion
- The unit cycles on and off too often
- The pump fails during heavy rain
- You have never had the system inspected or tested
Why Professional Sump Pump Service Matters
Sump pumps are simple in concept, but the system has to be installed and maintained correctly to protect your home. A poor installation, wrong pump size, bad discharge setup, or hidden clog can leave you exposed to basement flooding and water damage. Professional service helps make sure the system works safely and reliably under real-world conditions.
At Connected Plumbing, we bring hands-on plumbing experience to every job. We understand how drainage, piping, and underground water issues can affect pump performance. That matters when you want a lasting fix instead of a temporary patch. We are also trusted for major plumbing work like underground utility repairs and new septic system installs, so our customers know we are equipped to handle tough problems the right way.

Real feedback on honest service, solid repairs, and help that gets the job done right
"I hired Connected Plumbing for work we needed on an older house we bought. Work that included a new tankless water heater, a moen water leak detection devise and connecting a new gas range to propane. Gary and Jake have been amazing to work with. Very professional, great communication and very fair pricing. I wont hesitate to use them in the future for any plumbing needs I may have. I highly recommend"
"If you are looking for a quality Plumbing Company that can do it all in a speedy, competitively priced manner then Connected Plumbing is the Place for you! One of my favorite qualities about them is when you call you speak directly to one of the 2 owners who are Plumbers and they will get to you ASAP which for me was an hour! My entire sewer line was backed up and I wasn't able to use any type of sink/shower ect in my home. They showed up and in under 10 minutes diagnosed the the problem (The main drainage line was clogged), then they snaked the drainage line with an auger which took took about 30 minutes and everything was better than before! I'll be using them from here on out!"
"He’s GREAT he came to fix my kitchen sink ! Very affordable and very good at his work definitely my go to plumber!!"
"I own a real estate brokerage and have been working with plumbers for 25+ years. Gary at connected plumbing is hands down the best I’ve ever worked with. The best care, honest, punctual, professional and the best prices in town. All of the work he has done for me has exceeded expectations and just all around great human being. I love supporting local businesses and Connected plumbing sets the bar high. Whether it’s simple fixes, insurance compliance items or full plumbing/gas jobs, these guys are the best around at the best prices you’ll find. I comfortably endorse and recommend Connected plumbing to anyone looking for pre-COVID service levels and prices. They just completed all of the insurance compliance items required by insurance company and he was able to be out to my house the next day. You guys are a breath of fresh air. Thank you 🙏"
"Outstanding Service — Even on a Sunday! Gary and his team at Connected Plumbing went above and beyond! They came onsite early Sunday morning, quickly sourced and capped a tricky leak, and then did a full inspection of the home to make sure there were no other plumbing issues hiding anywhere. The best part? They wrapped up everything before I even finished my morning coffee! Their professionalism, speed, and attention to detail were truly impressive. Highly recommend Connected Plumbing for anyone looking for reliable, top-quality service you can trust!"
"If there were more stars to give…I’m giving them to these fine young men!!!!!! I had a poopy morning (no pun intended) and then these two show up to save the day!! Even let me geek out on the camera with them and showed me my pipes! From start to finish Jake and Gary were constant professionals and easy to talk to, bug them with questions etc. It was hot today and you couldn’t tell by the lovely smiles and firm handshakes they showed up with. They worked fast and explained everything from start to finish. Very patient, very kind, and beyond reasonably priced!! Seriously tho, thank you so much!!! I WILL be recommending your business to everyone I know. Have a blessed day!!"
"I picked Connected Pumbing from Google‘s “plumbers near me”. Gary came out and gave me a quote, the price seemed good, so I had them replaced my garbage disposal and kitchen faucet. He did a good job and I was rather impressed. I had them out two weeks later to fix my toilet. I was worried about making a mess but he covered everything and did a clean job. Thanks!"
"Had Gary come out for my water heater making bubbling noises and water in the pan. He gave me the option to upgrade to tankless and what a difference! Less propane usage and my family of 4 never runs out of hot water.. thank you!"
"A friend referred me to connected plumbing for 2 separate issues that are both now thankfully resolved. They rerouted a vent in attic to roof from hot water heater which was not installed properly by another contractor. And then they repaired/replaced a septic tank pump and cleared the lines. They came out quickly to access the issues, provided fair and detailed quotes and communicated everything very clearly before and during the project. The work was completed quickly and efficiently and I will absolutely use them again in the future."
"I needed a sewer lift station Plumbed into my house. Lots of excavation and dirt moving. My lawn and driveway looked like they where never here when they finished. They did a great job for a good price. Kind friendly and honest guys. I definitely recommend them. Thanks Gary"
