Sump Pump Installation & Repair Services

A sump pump is one of those essential systems you rarely think about—until you find that you really need it. It’s usually found in a corner of your basement, in a hole called a sump pit. It’s designed to pump out water that collects in the pit, often as a result of flooding. That means it’s important to make sure you keep it in working order, so it can do its job and prevent water damage to your home. Fortunately, ARS/Rescue Rooter provides expert sump pump service, so you can be confident that your're always protected.

Just like your other household appliances and equipment, sump pumps should be regularly inspected for wear and tear.

In early spring, for example, thawing and excess rain can cause the ground to become saturated, forcing your sump pump to work harder to keep water out of your basement.
