Before the storm
Sump Pump Replacement in Bergen County, NJ
Primary pump failed, stuck on, or past its 7–10 year life. Bergen's high water table and hurricane-season rain means one storm with a dead pump = flooded basement. We replace fast, optionally add battery backup.
What this covers
The sump pump replacement scope.
Remove + assess pit
Old pump pulled, pit cleaned of sediment. Check for cracked liner or blocked drain tile.
Primary pump install
1/3 HP or 1/2 HP based on basement size + inflow rate. Cast iron or stainless for longer life vs plastic.
Check valve + discharge
Check valve replaced with every pump (they fail silently). Discharge line inspected for freeze-safe path.
Battery backup (optional)
AGM or deep-cycle battery — typically 8–12 hours runtime depending on pump load. Worth the upgrade in Bergen where power and water often fail together.
Test under load
Bucket of water poured into pit to verify float + pump + check valve + discharge all function before we leave.

Sump Pump Replacement FAQ
Quick answers before you call.
Do I need a battery backup?
In Bergen County: strongly recommended. Power and water often fail together during storms. AGM battery backup typically gives 8–12 hours of runtime depending on how hard the pump cycles.
How often should the pump be replaced?
Every 7–10 years is a common service life, though quality varies by brand and run frequency. We inspect the existing unit and tell you whether it warrants immediate replacement or can run another season. We replace the check valve every time regardless — they fail silently.
Do you warranty the work?
Yes. 1-year workmanship warranty on every install and repair — if it fails because of how we did it, we come back and fix it. Equipment carries manufacturer warranty (typically 6–12 years depending on unit), which we register at install.
