Sump Pump Repair & Battery Backup in Merrillville

In Merrillville and the rest of Lake County, Indiana, spring thaws and summer storms push groundwater against basement walls. When the sump pump fails, usually during the storm and often during a power outage, the basement floods.

What we check

• Pump age and switch type (float switches stick as they age)
• Pit size, debris and check valve operation
• Discharge line: frozen or buried discharge lines are a common winter failure here
• Whether a battery backup or water-powered backup makes sense for your home

Repair or replace?

Most primary pumps last roughly 7-10 years. If yours is older and cycling a lot, replacement is often cheaper than a flooded basement. We give you a flat quote for both options.

Before storm season

Pour a bucket of water into the pit and make sure the pump starts and shuts off cleanly. If it doesn't, call (224) 394-6929.
