How it works

Assess the situation

We check the pit level, test whether the float switch trips correctly, and determine whether the issue is power, float, or the pump motor itself.

Clear and reset

We remove any debris from the intake, correct the float switch position if it's hung up, and restore power to confirm the pump runs and shuts off as expected.

Test the full cycle

We add water to the pit to trigger the pump naturally and watch it evacuate and shut off cleanly, then confirm the discharge line is flowing freely.

We can help

Problems we fix

Float switch tangled against the pit wall, preventing the pump from activating
GFCI outlet that has tripped and cut power to the pump without notice
Pump that runs continuously because the float is stuck in the raised position
Discharge line frozen or blocked, causing the pump to run without removing water
Old pump that has simply worn out and needs replacement

Good to know

Sump Pump Reset in Charleston — FAQ

How do I know if my sump pump is actually working?

Pour a bucket of water into the pit slowly. The float should rise, trigger the pump, and the water level should drop. If nothing happens, there's a problem with the float, power, or motor.

Can you replace a sump pump if it's failed?

Yes — submersible sump pump replacement is straightforward. We disconnect the old unit, install the replacement, and test it through a full cycle before leaving.

Should I have a battery backup?

A battery backup sump pump is a smart addition for any home prone to basement flooding, especially in areas with frequent power outages during storms. We can discuss options at the visit.

Local context

Sump Pump Reset across Charleston

Charleston's humid subtropical climate, salt air and active storm season are tough on homes — swollen doors, rusting hardware, mildew-prone caulk and storm-loosened trim are all common. Downtown's historic houses add original plaster walls and tight, detailed millwork, while West Ashley and the islands bring newer builds with their own quirks. Our pros are comfortable with both.
