Sump side: we replace failed pumps, float switches, and check valves, install new pits and pumps where water collects, run discharge lines to daylight or the storm system, and add battery backup pumps for outages. Ejector side: we install and replace sewage ejector systems for basement and below-grade bathrooms, laundry rooms, and ADU conversions where the fixture sits below the lateral, including the sealed basin, vent, and check valve. We size pumps by head height and flow so they do not short-cycle or burn out.
Book. If water is standing now, we treat it as urgent.
Diagnose the pump, the switch, the check valve, and the discharge.
Flat quote: repair or replace, with backup as a separate line.
Install, test under water, confirm the discharge and the alarm.
What this county does to plumbing.
The county does not have basements, but it has hillsides, and hillside lots in Escondido, Poway, La Mesa, and the canyons across San Diego take groundwater into crawl spaces and garages during winter storms. That is where sump pumps live here. Ejector pumps come up in below-grade rooms, split-level homes, and garage-to-ADU conversions where the new bathroom sits lower than the sewer lateral. Power outages during storms are when a sump pump is needed most and least available, which is the case for the battery backup.
Flat, in writing, before we start.
Repairs and replacements quoted flat on site. Battery backup quoted as a separate line so you can add it or not. New pit installs quoted after a site visit. One-year labor warranty, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the pump.

What Our Customers Are Saying
5.0 · Based on 70 reviews
Answered straight.
How do I test my sump pump?
Pour a bucket of water into the pit. The float should rise and the pump should run and shut off. If not, book before the next storm.
Do I need a battery backup?
If the pump protects a finished space or the crawl space floods in outages, yes.
What is a sewage ejector pump?
A sealed pump that lifts wastewater from a fixture below the sewer line up to it. Below-grade bathrooms need one.
How long do pumps last?
Seven to ten years for a sump pump. Ejectors similar with normal use.
Why does my pump run constantly?
Usually a stuck float, a failed check valve letting water back in, or a pump undersized for the inflow.
Can you add a bathroom below the sewer line?
Yes, with an ejector system. That is a common part of ADU and garage conversion work.
