Battery backup and water-powered backup options are available so a power outage doesn't undo your protection.
An oversized or undersized sump pump both cause problems down the line — short-cycling, premature motor failure, or simply not keeping up during a real storm. We calculate GPH capacity against your basin's actual inflow rather than reaching for a default size.
We check discharge line routing and check valve placement as part of every install, not just the pump itself.
We carry common pump models on the truck so a failed unit can often be replaced the same day you call.
Pricing covers the pump, basin, check valve, and discharge line as one quoted number, not itemized surprises after the fact.
We calculate gallons-per-hour pump capacity based on your basin size and typical inflow rate, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
We scope every Sump Pump Installation job in person before quoting it, since two properties with the same symptom rarely need the same fix.
We install submersible pumps rated for continuous duty, not the lighter-duty units sold for occasional use.
We size backup battery capacity to your typical outage duration, not just a default runtime estimate.
For homes with municipal water pressure, a water-powered backup pump runs without any battery at all, using house water pressure to move basement water out.
We also inspect discharge line routing to make sure water is actually getting away from the foundation, not just to the yard next to it.
Basin lids are sealed to reduce basement humidity and keep debris out of the pump mechanism.
If it's an active failure with water rising, we prioritize same-day dispatch.
We also check the discharge line route and check valve condition as part of the same visit.
We explain why a given pump size fits your situation instead of just quoting the most expensive option.
We test the new pump under load, including a simulated power outage if a backup system is installed, before we leave.
"Sump pump failed overnight and flooded part of our storage room. New pump was installed with a backup battery before the next storm hit."
— McDonald Customer
"Water-powered backup pump has been a good second layer since our power goes out more than we'd like during storms."
— McDonald Homeowner
"Check valve on our old system had failed and nobody had caught it. New pump plus a working check valve made a real difference."
— McDonald Customer
"Fast, professional install and they hauled away the old failed unit."
— McDonald Homeowner
We measure inflow during inspection and recommend a pump rated in gallons per hour to match it.
We can walk through battery versus water-powered backup options based on your home's setup.
We can test an existing pump's condition during an inspection rather than assuming it needs replacement.
If a specialty basin or pump size is needed, we'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
A primary pump runs on household power and handles day-to-day drainage; a backup pump activates during a power outage or primary pump failure.
Terms vary by pump model, and we'll explain exactly what's covered before you approve the quote.
