Our process
Test under load
We fill the pit and watch the pump run a real cycle, not just a switch test.
Check the float and check valve
Most failures are the switch or a stuck check valve, not the motor.
Quote before replacing
If it's repairable, we repair it. If the motor is failing, you'll see why.
Verify the discharge
A pump that can't discharge is a pump that doesn't work — we confirm the full path.
