Basement or low-point sump pump not working, or behaving oddly? We diagnose, repair and install new pumps across Riga
Santehniķis Rīgā diagnoses and repairs sump (basement) pumps for houses and buildings across Riga. A diagnostic call-out starts from €75, with a 12-month warranty on all work — we offer this service if you already have a sump pump installed, or if you'd like one installed as a precaution.
Many private houses, and some apartment building basements, have a sump (basement) pump installed to collect and move groundwater or seeped-in rainwater away from the building's foundations. This pump normally runs automatically via a float switch, and stays unnoticed most of the time — until the moment it stops working.
We offer sump pump diagnosis, repair, replacement and new system installation. This is a specific, relatively niche service — most often we come across it when a client already has a sump system installed and it stops working, or when a client wants a pump installed as a precaution after a previous water build-up in the basement. All work comes with a 12-month warranty.
Some sump pump problems can be solved on your own — others need a professional diagnosis.
Is the pump plugged in, and has a breaker tripped in the fuse box
Can the float move freely, or is it stuck against the pit wall
If power and the float are both fine but the pump still isn't pumping — you need an on-site diagnosis
From diagnosis to installing a new system
We determine whether the float switch, motor or a blockage is at fault
The most common cause of failure — replacement or adjustment
If there wasn't a pump before, or the old one is fully worn out
Removing sediment and debris that interferes with pump operation
We confirm water is actually being carried away from the building
We help you choose a pump suited to your basement's situation
A sump pump is one of those things people only notice once it stops working — and by then there are often already visible signs of water in the basement. Our technician first checks the whole system — the float switch, motor, discharge pipe — to find the exact cause, rather than immediately proposing the most expensive fix. If the pump can be repaired at a reasonable cost, we do that; if it's completely worn out, we'll honestly recommend a replacement. All work comes with a 12-month warranty.

"There was a bit of standing water in the basement and the sump pump had stopped kicking in automatically. The technician found a faulty float switch, replaced it, and checked the whole system."
"Our old basement pump started making noise and wasn't pumping well after a heavy downpour. Assessed whether it was worth repairing or replacing — we went with replacement since the pump was old. Installed quickly and correctly."
"Wanted a sump pump installed in the basement as a precaution after our neighbour's flooding incident. The plumber advised on the right type of pump and location, installed it, and explained how to maintain the system going forward."
