Symptoms
Problems that call for service
Water is collecting in the basement
Basement flooding can be related to a sump pump that is not operating, a float switch problem, or an issue with the discharge piping. We inspect the system to identify the cause.
Wastewater is backing up
A malfunctioning sewage ejector pump can affect wastewater removal and contribute to sewage backups. The pump, basin, float controls, and related components may need troubleshooting.
The pump problem keeps returning
Recurring pump issues may involve the pump system, check valve, float switch, basin, or discharge piping. We assess the system and explain the repair or replacement options.

A plumbing problem should
not become a renovation.
If it is safe, close the nearest shutoff valve, move belongings away from water, and tell us exactly what you see.
