"Never in my life have I experienced a better contractor"
Yauhen and his team are by far the best contractors I have ever worked with. I had a sump pump and back valve and main drain issue. He came and fixed everything in one day – the work was done perfectly and at a very reasonable price compared to other industrial tech. Since then there have been a few other issues that I have called Yauhen about. He is always around to answer his phone – and he always stops by almost immediately to help. Never in my life have I experienced a better contractor. I very highly recommend Yauhen and his team!

FAQ
What are common signs that my sump pump needs repair?
Common indicators include unusual noises, visible leaks, frequent cycling, or failure to remove water from the sump pit. If your basement floods despite the pump running, it’s a clear sign something isn’t right.
How often should my sump pump be inspected for maintenance or potential issues?
Ideally, your sump pump should be inspected at least once a year, especially before the wet season begins. However, if you’ve had issues or if your area is prone to heavy rainfall, consider bi-annual checks.
Can all sump pump problems be repaired, or do some pumps need to be replaced?
While many issues can be resolved through repair, some problems like severe corrosion, a malfunctioning motor, or outdated technology might make replacement more cost-effective or necessary for continued reliability.
What does a sump pump diagnostic involve?
A diagnostic involves checking the pump for operational efficiency, examining the float switch, testing for proper activation, inspecting for blockages or wear, and ensuring the check valve and discharge line are functioning correctly.
How long does a sump pump repair typically take?
Simple repairs, like cleaning the pump or adjusting the float, might take just an hour or two. More complex issues, such as motor repair or part fabrication, could take longer, possibly a few days if parts need to be ordered or if extensive disassembly is required.
What should I do if my sump pump fails during a storm?
If your sump pump fails during a storm, immediately turn off the pump to prevent further damage, and use a backup pump if available. If you don’t have a backup, manually remove water with buckets or a wet/dry vacuum, and call for emergency repair services as soon as it’s safe to do so. Remember, not all repairs can be made in the moment; some might require waiting out the storm for safety reasons.
