What We Offer

Every Sump Pump Service We Offer

It is only as effective as the system it is part of. Proper operation requires the basin, float switch, check valve, discharge line, power supply, and backup equipment. We don't just replace a component; we check the cause of the problem and test the whole system.

Install & Replace

New Installation & Sump Pump Replacement

If water keeps accumulating in a crawl space, below-grade utility area, drainage pit, equipment room, or other low location, you may need a sump pump inspection.

Our plumbers help you choose a pump suited for the property and install it together with the necessary valves, discharge plumbing, and connections.

  • Where water enters & how fast it gathers
  • Basin size and discharge distance
  • Lift height & existing drainage condition
  • Electrical service & power-outage risk

Replacing

Sump pumps don't last forever. Motors wear down, switches fail, internal parts corrode, and repeated cycling can degrade performance. It's not always the pump that's the problem; it could be a clogged discharge line, a faulty float switch, a broken check valve, or an undersized basin.

  • Won't start or moves no water
  • Overheating or frequent repairs
  • Can't keep up with incoming water
  • Heavy rust or no spare parts
  • Undersized or end-of-life unit
  • Failure during recent severe rain
Urgent Help

Emergency Repairs

If water is actively coming into the basin or protected area, a failed system becomes an immediate concern. If it is safe to do so, avoid contacting electrical equipment in standing water. Never put your hand in a flooded sump basin.

Galveston Elite Plumbing can come in, inspect the system, find out what the problem is, and tell you whether it needs repaired or replaced.

  • Water returning after each cycle
  • System failed during a storm
  • Backup pump failed to start

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I determine whether my house requires a sump pump?

If water keeps collecting in a crawl space, utility area, drainage pit, mechanical room, or other low place, an expert inspection can tell you.

How often should I test my sump pump?

The system should be tested routinely and before severe rain or storm season. Properties likely to have water coming in may need testing and maintenance more often.

Why does my sump pump stink?

Odors can come from stagnant water, trash, bacteria, a dry basin, or drainage-related issues. Cleaning and inspection can help find the cause.

Is there water in the sump basin all the time?

Some systems may have a tiny amount of water remaining. But if the water is abnormally high, or if it never empties, that could suggest a pump or discharge-line problem.

Is a battery backup sump pump necessary?

If power outages are possible, if the property has a history of water intrusion, or if failure could cause major damage, a battery backup is well worth considering.

What is the difference between a sump pump and a sewage ejector?

A sump pump removes groundwater or rainwater. A sewage ejector removes wastewater containing sewage from plumbing fixtures below the main sewer line. These systems are not interchangeable.

Why is my system running but not pumping water?

The discharge pipe may be clogged, the impeller may be damaged, the check valve may be installed wrong, or it may have lost pumping capacity.

Is it possible to fix a sump pump or do you have to replace it?

Some problems, such as a failed switch or check valve, can be fixed. Replace badly rusted, burned-out, continually failing, or incorrectly sized units.

Is it worth getting my sump pump checked after a storm?

Yes. Even if the system appears functional, long periods of continuous operation, silt, trash, electrical disruptions, and high water volume may harm the system.

Do you work with commercial sump pumps?

Yes. Galveston Elite Plumbing offers sump pump inspection, maintenance, repair, replacement, and installation for both commercial and residential locations in Galveston.
