A pump that works when the power does not.
A properly sized sump pump with a check valve, a sealed lid and an optional battery backup keeps basements and crawl spaces dry through storms and power outages.
- Typical timeline: Half a day to a day
- Parts: Pit, pump, check valve, discharge pipe
- Backup: Battery or water-powered options
What it is, and why it matters.
A sump pump sits in a pit at the lowest point of a basement or crawl space and pumps water out of the house when the pit fills. It is the last defense against groundwater that has nowhere else to go. When it fails, usually during a storm and often during a power outage, the basement floods.
We install or replace the pit, the pump, the check valve and the discharge line, aimed so the water leaves the property in the right direction. In a Nashville home with a finished basement or a history of seepage, we recommend a battery or water-powered backup. We test the pump through a full cycle and show you how to check it.
Four things done right.
Sized to the problem
Pump capacity matches the water you actually get.
Check valve
Water pumped out does not drain back into the pit.
Backup option
A second pump keeps working through outages.
Clean discharge
Water leaves away from the foundation and the neighbors.

Sump Pump Installation: common questions
How long does a sump pump last?
Many pumps last around seven to ten years with regular use, though it varies with the pump, the water and the use. We test pumps yearly and replace them before a storm season if they show signs of age.
Do I need a battery backup?
If your basement is finished or your pump runs often in storms, a backup is a good idea, since storms often bring power outages. We explain the options and prices.
