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?

Choosing the right sump pump isn’t just about horsepower — it’s about volume, pit design, elevation, and discharge distance. We size and install pumps based on real-world performance needs, not guesswork. Whether you need a durable primary unit or a smart, layered backup system, we’ll install what works — and we’ll test it before we leave.

For homeowners who want advanced protection and optional financial reimbursement in case of basement flooding, we also install the Zoeller Dry Basement Guarantee system. This includes smart monitoring, battery backups, and a manufacturer-backed guarantee when maintained annually by Be Ohio.

  • Primary Pumps: Submersible or pedestal; sized by gallons per hour and head height
  • Battery Backups: Dual power protection for outage scenarios

  • Wi-Fi Enabled Pumps: Receive alerts, diagnostics, and status checks from your phone

We install and service all modern pump systems. Call (614) 695-0933 to discuss what’s right for your basement and property layout.

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.
