Emergency Sump Pump Repair & Reliable Installation in Central Ohio

Has your sump pump failed during a storm? Are you seeing water in your basement? Be Ohio provides emergency sump pump service, backup installs, and full system replacements — serving Delaware, Franklin, and Morrow counties with rapid, code-compliant protection.

Most Sump Pumps Fail When You Need Them Most

We see it constantly: power outage, stuck float, frozen discharge line — and suddenly your basement is flooded. Pumps are often ignored for years, and that’s when they let you down. Pumps that sit dormant dry out, seize up, and fail when storm season hits. Just like any system, they need to be exercised and tested regularly.

  • 💧 Pump not running — float or motor seized from dormancy
  • 🌀 Running constantly — missing or broken check valve
  • 🌡️ Frozen or obstructed discharge pipe — no flow to the outlet
  • 🚧 Crushed or broken outlet pipe to curb/street — no drainage path

Call (614) 695-0933 now for in-person diagnostics. We locate issues all the way out to the curb, not just in the pit.

What Kind of Sump Pump is Best for Your Home?

We help you select the right unit based on your pit, flow rate, elevation, and discharge path. Whether you need a heavy-duty primary pump or a layered backup, we install what works — and test it.

  • Primary Pumps: Submersible or pedestal; rated by horsepower and head height
  • Battery Backups: Heavy-duty dual systems to keep water out during outages
  • Water-Powered Pumps: Reliable backup with no battery — runs off city pressure
  • Wi-Fi Enabled Pumps: Receive alerts and cycle data directly to your phone

We install and support all modern pump technologies. Call (614) 695-0933 to discuss what's right for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

🧠 What size sump pump do I need?
We size it based on gallons per hour, pipe run length, and head height. Most homes need 1/3 or 1/2 HP — but long or uphill discharges may require 3/4 HP or dual pumps.

⚠️ Can I discharge sump water into a floor drain or sewer?
No. This is against code and can back up your septic system or public sewer. We route all sump systems into proper stormwater pathways.

🔋 Do I need a backup sump pump?
Absolutely. All primary pumps eventually fail. We offer both battery and water-powered backup systems, as well as Wi-Fi integrated units that alert you before failure occurs.

💡 How long should a sump pump last?
Around 1 million cycles under ideal use — that’s 7–10 years for most homes. But they fail much faster if left dormant or never tested.
