Common Sump Pump Repair Scenarios
Sump Pump Not Running
When rain is coming and your sump pump won't activate, your basement is at risk. Check the float switch and power supply first.
Sump Pump Running Constantly
A pump that runs non-stop may have a stuck float switch, undersized pump, or high water table issue that needs professional diagnosis.
Sump Pump Replacement
Sump pumps last 7-10 years. Replace proactively before failure to avoid flood damage during the next heavy rain.
Battery Backup Installation
A battery backup sump pump activates during power outages — the exact time you're most likely to need it.
Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace my sump pump?
Replace your sump pump every 7-10 years, or sooner if it runs frequently during storms. In Novato and Marin County, homes with high water tables or frequent basement moisture should test their sump pump at least quarterly.
Do I need a battery backup sump pump?
If your Novato home has a finished basement, stores valuables in the basement, or loses power during storms, a battery backup is essential. Power outages during heavy rain are when sump pumps are needed most.
