Sump pump service — what it is

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.

What to check before calling

Some sump pump problems can be solved on your own — others need a professional diagnosis.

1

Check the power supply

Is the pump plugged in, and has a breaker tripped in the fuse box

2

Check the float switch

Can the float move freely, or is it stuck against the pit wall

3

Still not working? Call us

If power and the float are both fine but the pump still isn't pumping — you need an on-site diagnosis

The most common cause of failure — replacement or adjustment

New pump installation

Advice on choosing a pump

We help you choose a pump suited to your basement's situation

Why accurate diagnosis matters

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."

Owen K.
★★★★★

"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."

V
Vicky F.
★★★★★

"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."

Frequently Asked Questions

A sump pump moves groundwater or rainwater that collects in a basement or the lowest point of a house away from the building. If the pump isn't working, water can build up in the basement after heavy rain or snowmelt.
The most common signs are the pump not switching on even though the water level in the pit has risen, an unusual noise during operation, or standing water remaining after a pump cycle. We diagnose on site to determine whether it's the float switch, motor or a blockage.
Depending on the fault, we offer either a repair (for example, replacing the float switch) or, if the pump is old or the damage is significant, installing a new one. We give you an honest assessment of what's most cost-effective in your case.
A diagnostic call-out with a simple repair starts from €75. Installing a new pump depends on the pump's capacity and the complexity of the connection — we confirm the exact price after an inspection.
Yes, if water periodically collects in your basement or another low point, we can assess the situation and recommend a suitable pump solution to prevent it.
