Sump pump
repair and install
Your sump pump only matters on the day you need it. That's why we repair failing pumps, replace old ones and install new systems, so water in the pit goes out and away from your foundation instead of into your basement.

Sump Pump Repair & Installation FAQ
How do I test my sump pump?
Slowly pour a bucket of water into the pit. The float should rise, the pump should turn on, and then the water should drain out. If it doesn't, give us a call for sump pump repair.
How long does a sump pump last?
Often around 7 to 10 years, depending on how much it runs. So an older pump that runs a lot is worth replacing before it fails.
Do I need a backup sump pump?
If your basement is finished or the pump runs often, a battery backup is good insurance, since storms that knock out power are often the same storms that fill the pit.

Doug was great. He was able to give me a quote over the phone without a service charge, showed up at a specific time he told me, not an all day range, he fixed the leaky shower quickly and charged me good rate. Amazing plumbing experience!Posted on Google![]()

We used Doug and his company today for the first time. The service was excellent! We had some issues with drains backing up, and some other plumbing repairs. Doug scheduled his visit for the next day, showed up on time, was polite and efficient! The cost was very fair. I highly recommend using Doug, and Around the Clog for any plumbing needs you may have! thanks Doug!Posted on Google![]()

Doug has done a LOT of plumbing work at our home over the years. Today, he was able to access a drain behind the wall by thinking out side of the box, and a lot of muscle power to cut the old pipe out. His team shows up, they’re on time, complete the work, clean up and have never tried to sell me BS or upsell the work. Doug has integrity and stands behind his work.Posted on Google![]()

We were in a real pickle recently, with our buyers requesting a plumbing inspection on the day of closing. We were stressed! I called several plumbers that morning, and Around the Clog was able to arrive first. Their team truly went above and beyond to provide the best overall service we received during our recent move. Our buyers required a signed form at the closing table, and the team at Around the Clog bent over backwards to make it happen for us. Thank you for the incredible service!Posted on Google![]()
