Sump Pump Installation & Repair

A sump pump is one of the few plumbing components that only has to work when it matters most — during heavy rain or snowmelt, when a basement is most at risk of flooding. SJT Plumbing installs, repairs, and replaces sump pumps and drain lines for homeowners throughout West Suffield and the surrounding Hartford, Tolland, and Litchfield County communities.

We install primary sump pumps, battery backup systems for power outages, and the drain lines that carry water away from your foundation. If your existing sump pump has failed, is running constantly, or you're dealing with a wet basement for the first time, we'll assess your setup and recommend the right solution.

  • Pump running constantly, even without heavy rain
  • Loud grinding, rattling, or humming noises
  • Visible rust or age (most pumps last 7-10 years)
  • Musty odors or dampness in the basement
  • A pump that hasn't been tested in over a year
  • No battery backup in place for power outages

Common Questions

Sump Pump FAQ

How often should a sump pump be replaced?

Most sump pumps last 7-10 years. If yours is older than that, or you're not sure when it was last replaced, it's worth having it inspected.

Do I need a battery backup sump pump?

If your home has ever flooded during a power outage, or you're away from home often, a battery backup system provides protection when the primary pump loses power.

Why does my sump pump run constantly?

This can be caused by a high water table, a failing check valve, an undersized pump, or a pump nearing the end of its life. We can diagnose the cause during a service visit.

Can you install a sump pump where there wasn't one before?

Yes, we can install a new sump pit and pump system in basements that don't currently have one.

Do you offer emergency sump pump repair during storms?

Yes, we understand sump pump failures are most urgent during heavy rain, and we offer emergency service for active flooding situations.
