When the storm hits

A dry basement is no accident

Mountain storms bring heavy rain and power outages at the same time. A sump pump only protects your home if it is the right size, in good shape, and still running when the lights go out.

We assess your risk, right-size the pump and basin, and add a battery backup so a power outage does not turn into a flooded basement. Then we test it so you know it works.

  • Backup power so outages do not flood you
  • Right-sized pumps that keep up with heavy rain
  • Protects framing, flooring and air quality

What we do

Complete sump pump service

New systems, replacements, repairs and backups to keep your lowest level dry year round.

Sump pump installation

A properly sized pump and basin installed where water collects, so your lowest level stays dry.

Pump replacement

Old or failing pumps swapped out before the next big storm finds the weak link.

Battery backup systems

A backup pump that keeps working when the power goes out, which is exactly when you need it most.

Sump pump repair

Stuck floats, clogged intakes, bad check valves and noisy motors diagnosed and fixed.

Crawlspace protection

Keep mountain crawlspaces dry to protect your framing, insulation and air quality.

Discharge line fixes

Frozen or clogged discharge lines rerouted and cleared so water actually leaves the house.

Warning signs

Signs your sump pump needs help

01

Pump runs constantly

Short cycling or non-stop running usually means a float, switch or sizing problem.

02

Standing water returns

Dampness or pooling after rain means the pump is undersized, failing or not keeping up.

03

Strange noises

Rattling, grinding or gurgling point to a worn impeller, stuck check valve or debris.

04

No backup for outages

Storms knock out power and your pump at the same time. Without a backup, that is when basements flood.

“Woke up to no water and a dry well. They had a tech out the same morning, found the bad pump, and had us running by lunch. Explained every cost before starting.”

Weaverville, NC · Well pump replacement

★★★★★

“Main line was backing up into the basement. They camera scoped it, jetted the roots out, and showed me the before and after on screen. No upsell, just the fix.”

Marcus T.

★★★★★

“Our sump pump died during a storm. They installed a new one with a battery backup that same day. I finally sleep when it rains now.”

Priya S.

Black Mountain, NC · Sump pump install

★★★★★

“Low water pressure for months. Turned out to be the pressure tank. Honest diagnosis, fair price, and they cleaned up after themselves.”

Greg H.

Fletcher, NC · Pressure tank

★★★★★

“Called three plumbers, these folks were the only ones who answered and gave a real window. Fixed a burst pipe under the sink and checked the shutoffs too.”

Lauren M.

★★★★★

“Replaced our water heater and repiped a bad stretch of galvanized. Polite, licensed, and the quote matched the final bill to the dollar.”

Questions, answered

Sump pump questions, answered

In the mountains, storms often knock out power at the exact moment you need the pump most. A battery backup keeps pumping during an outage, which is the single best way to prevent a flooded basement. We strongly recommend it.
