Our Services

In Chapel Hill, NC, a busted sump pump is a nightmare you don’t want to deal with alone. We charge a flat $149 for a thorough diagnosis, then give you a clear, itemized quote before any work starts. Scheduling is simple – just call, pick a time that fits your calendar, and we’ll be at your door when you need us. Our techs check the float switch first, because a stuck switch is the most common cause of a pump that won’t turn on. If the pump runs but water still backs up, we clear any clogged discharge lines and verify the check valve is seated properly. For peace of mind during storms, we can install a battery backup system that kicks in when the power goes out. Call (888) 503-1331 and we’ll get your basement dry and your mind at ease.

First, check that the pump’s power cord is plugged in and the breaker isn’t tripped. Clear any debris from the pit and make sure the float switch can move freely.
