Questions

Sump pumps, answered.

Answers from licensed plumbers and septic installers. Still unsure? Call East CT at (860) 292-0484.

How often should a sump pump be serviced?
Once a year, before the spring thaw and storm season. Yearly maintenance starts from $199, or from $129 for members.
How much does a new sump pump cost?
A replacement sump pump with a new check valve starts from $1,447 installed at Drainworks.
Do I need a battery backup?
If your basement floods when the power is out, yes. Storms that knock out power are the same storms that fill the pit.
