When your sump pump fails during a storm, you’ve got hours before serious damage sets in. Two inches of water in a 2,500-square-foot home causes over $23,000 in damage to your property and belongings. That’s not a scare tactic—that’s FEMA data.
You need someone who shows up fast, diagnoses the real problem, and fixes it right the first time. Grinding noises, constant running, or a pump that won’t kick on during heavy rain means something’s already wrong.
We repair float switch failures, clogged discharge lines, electrical faults, and failing pumps before your basement floods. You get a system that works when you need it most—not a temporary patch that fails next month.
Most homeowners don’t think about their sump pump until water’s pooling in the basement. By then, you’re dealing with damaged carpet, ruined furniture, mold growth, and structural issues. Our repairs stop that cycle.
We’ve spent over 30 years solving water and air quality problems for homeowners across North Carolina. We’re NADCA certified with trained technicians who understand how moisture, drainage, and structural protection work together.
Asheboro sits in an area where heavy rains and severe weather create real flooding risks. We’ve seen what Hurricane Helene and other storms do to homes without working sump pumps. Only 5.2% of flood-damaged homes had insurance coverage—most people paid out of pocket.
You’re not hiring a general handyman. You’re getting specialists who know sump pump systems, basement waterproofing, and drainage solutions. We find the root cause, not just the obvious symptom.
First, we inspect your entire sump pump system—not just the pump itself. That means checking the float switch, discharge line, check valve, sump pit, and electrical connections. Most failures happen because one component stops working, and everything else follows.
We test the pump under load to see how it handles actual water flow. If it’s struggling, cycling too often, or making unusual sounds, we identify why. Clogs, worn impellers, faulty switches, and power issues all create different symptoms.
Once we know what’s failing, we explain what needs repair or replacement and why. You get a clear breakdown of the problem, the fix, and what it prevents. No upselling, no scare tactics—just honest assessment.
After repairs, we test the system again to confirm it’s pumping correctly and shutting off when it should. You’ll know your basement is protected before we leave. If your pump is beyond repair, we’ll walk you through sump pump replacement options that fit your home and budget.

Sump pump repair isn’t just swapping parts. It’s making sure your entire drainage system works when the next storm rolls through Asheboro. We clear clogged sump pits, replace faulty float switches, fix discharge line blockages, and repair electrical connections that trip during heavy use.
North Carolina sees its share of severe weather. Aging infrastructure, corroded pipes, and extreme rainfall increase the chances your pump will fail right when you need it. Regular sump pump maintenance catches those issues early—before you’re dealing with a flooded basement at midnight.
We also handle sump pump installation for homes that need an upgrade or never had a system installed. If your current pump is over seven years old, it’s likely near the end of its lifespan. Replacing it before it fails saves you from emergency water damage costs.
You’ll also get straightforward advice on whether your system needs a battery backup, a secondary pump, or better drainage around your foundation. We’re not here to sell you things you don’t need—we’re here to keep your basement dry.
If your pump is making grinding or rattling noises, running constantly, or not turning on during rain, something’s wrong. Those are the clearest signs of mechanical failure or a faulty component.
Pumps older than seven years are usually near the end of their lifespan. Even if they’re still working, they’re more likely to fail during the next heavy storm. If you’re seeing rust, corrosion, or visible damage, replacement is often smarter than repair.
We’ll inspect the entire system and tell you whether a repair will actually solve the problem or if you’re better off installing a new pump. Sometimes a $150 float switch fix saves you thousands. Other times, a failing motor means it’s time to upgrade.
Power outages are the most common reason. When the power goes out, your pump stops working—even if water’s pouring into the sump pit. That’s why battery backup systems exist.
Clogs are the second biggest issue. Debris, dirt, and sediment build up in the sump pit or discharge line, preventing water from moving through the system. The pump runs but can’t actually remove water.
Mechanical failures happen when the float switch gets stuck, the impeller wears out, or the motor burns out from overuse. If your pump’s been running nonstop because of a high water table, it’s working harder than it was designed to. Eventually, something breaks.
Once a year is the standard recommendation, ideally before storm season hits. That gives you time to fix any issues before you’re relying on the pump during heavy rain.
If you’ve had flooding issues in the past, live in an area with a high water table, or your pump runs frequently, twice a year makes more sense. The more your system works, the faster components wear out.
Maintenance includes cleaning the sump pit, testing the float switch, checking the discharge line for clogs, and making sure the pump cycles correctly. It’s a small investment compared to water damage repair costs—and it extends the life of your equipment.
Yes. Sump pump failures don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. If your basement’s flooding or your pump just quit during a storm, call us.
Emergency repairs focus on getting your system working fast. We’ll assess the damage, make the necessary fixes, and get water moving out of your basement. If a full repair isn’t possible on the spot, we’ll set up a temporary solution and schedule a follow-up.
Most emergency calls involve power issues, clogged lines, or stuck float switches—all things we can fix quickly. If the pump itself is dead and needs replacement, we’ll help you understand your options and get a new system installed as soon as possible.
Sump pump repair fixes your existing drainage system. Waterproofing addresses the bigger picture—why water’s getting into your basement in the first place.
If your sump pump is constantly running because water’s pouring in from foundation cracks, grading issues, or failed exterior drainage, repairing the pump won’t solve the root problem. You need waterproofing to redirect water away from your home.
We’ll tell you if your sump pump issues are symptoms of a larger drainage problem. Sometimes a repair is all you need. Other times, you’ll benefit from foundation sealing, better grading, or exterior drainage improvements. We’re not here to upsell—we’re here to give you a solution that actually works.
It depends on what’s broken. A simple float switch replacement might cost $150 to $300. A clogged discharge line or sump pit cleaning runs similarly. Motor or impeller issues cost more because they involve more labor and parts.
If your pump needs full replacement, expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 depending on the pump type, horsepower, and whether you need a battery backup system. That’s still far cheaper than the $11,000 average cost of a water damage insurance claim.
We’ll give you a clear estimate before starting work. No surprises, no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and why it matters for keeping your basement dry.
