The right fix starts with the right diagnosis

Install a sump pump sized for real DMV storm volume

An undersized or aging sump pump is one of the most common single points of failure we find in DMV basements and crawl spaces. We size the pump to your actual water volume, not a generic model, and add a battery backup so summer thunderstorms that knock out power do not leave you flooded.

Common problems we solve

  • Existing sump pump that is undersized, aging, or failing
  • No battery backup, leaving the system vulnerable during outages
  • Pit or basin that fills faster than the pump can keep up
  • No alarm or way to know the pump has stopped working

Benefits of a properly designed solution

Sized to your water volume

We calculate real inflow rather than installing a one-size-fits-all pump.

Storm-proof with battery backup

Keeps pumping during the power outages that often accompany the region's heaviest storms.

Alarm and monitoring options

Know immediately if water is rising faster than the pump can handle.

Reduces flood risk

A properly sized, redundant system is the last line of defense against a wet basement or crawl space.

Our four-step process

  1. Inspect: Document moisture, drainage, structure, and site conditions.
  2. Explain: Review findings with photos and straightforward priorities.
  3. Install: Complete the agreed scope with careful home protection.
  4. Verify: Test components, clean the work area, and complete a walkthrough.
Common questions

Sump Pump Installation FAQs

How do I know if my current sump pump is big enough?+

We measure your pit size and estimate peak inflow during heavy rain, then compare that to your pump's actual rated capacity. Many older installations were undersized for today's storm intensity.

Is a battery backup really necessary?+

In the DMV, the storms that produce the most water are often the same storms that cause power outages. A primary pump with no backup is the single most common cause of the basement floods we get called out for.

How often should a sump pump be replaced?+

Most sump pumps last 7 to 10 years under normal use. If yours is older, runs constantly, or you are not sure of its age, a free inspection can confirm whether replacement makes sense.
