Reliable Protection When It Matters Most
Sump Pump Installation
We install sump pumps designed to handle Denver’s unique conditions, including rapid snowmelt and clay-heavy soil that retains moisture. Our process starts with evaluating your property’s water table, drainage patterns, and basement layout to determine the right system for your home. We carefully assess the lowest point of your basement and recommend the proper basin size and depth based on your foundation type. All work follows local building codes and best practices to ensure long-term reliability.
Sump Pump Replacement
Most sump pumps last 7-10 years. If you’re noticing grinding noises, frequent cycling, visible rust, or standing water, it may be time for replacement. We evaluate whether repair or replacement makes more sense and walk you through your options. If replacement is needed, we remove the old unit, inspect the basin, and install a properly sized pump based on your home’s square footage and water intrusion history. We also inspect discharge lines and upgrade them if necessary.
Sump Pump Maintenance
Regular maintenance extends your sump pump’s lifespan and confirms it operates when spring snowmelt creates peak demand. Our maintenance service includes testing the float switch by lifting it manually, inspecting the discharge line for ice damage or blockages, cleaning accumulated sediment from the pump intake and basin, and verifying water drains at least 10 feet from your foundation. We recommend scheduling maintenance visits each fall before winter freeze-thaw cycles begin. During each visit, we also check the power cord for fraying and test the ground fault circuit interrupter.
Regular maintenance can protect your drain from damage or a serious blockage.
