Sump Pump and Sewage Ejector Installation in Gwinnett County
Sump pumps, battery back-up pumps and sewage ejector systems for basements and crawl spaces, installed, replaced and repaired.
Sump pumps and sewage ejectors
A lot of the houses east and north of Atlanta sit on a slope with a basement or a crawl space on the low side, and a sump pump is the only thing between a heavy storm and a wet floor. It runs unattended for years, and the first sign that it has failed is usually water where it should not be.
A sewage ejector does a different job: it lifts waste from a basement bathroom or laundry up to the main drain when gravity cannot. Both are pumps in a pit, and both fail the same ways: a stuck float, a worn motor, a failed check valve.
What we handle
- Sump pump replacement and new installation, including the pit and discharge line
- Battery back-up pumps for when the power goes out in the storm that needs them most
- Sewage ejector pumps and pits for basement bathrooms and laundries
- Float switches, check valves and discharge line repairs
- Water-powered back-up pumps where a battery is not practical
- Annual testing and cleaning of the pit and float
When to replace rather than repair
A sump pump is a wear item. Most run seven to ten years, less if the pit takes a lot of silt or the pump cycles constantly. If yours is past that and the float or switch has failed, replacing the pump is usually the better spend, because the motor is not far behind.
Why a back-up matters here
The storms that put the most water into a basement are the same storms that take the power out. A battery back-up pump sits in the same pit and takes over when the primary loses power or cannot keep up. For a finished basement it is the difference between a pump failure and an insurance claim.
What a visit looks like
We test the existing pump by filling the pit, check the float travel, the check valve and where the discharge goes, and look at the pit itself. A straight pump swap is usually done in a couple of hours. A new pit or an ejector for a basement bathroom is a larger job with a permit and an inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test my sump pump?
Pour a bucket of water into the pit until the float rises. The pump should start, pump the pit down and shut off. If it does not start, runs without moving water, or does not shut off, call us.
Can you add a battery back-up to my existing pump?
In most pits, yes. The back-up sits alongside the primary pump on its own float and its own discharge, with the battery and charger mounted on the wall nearby.
What is the difference between a sump pump and an ejector?
A sump pump moves groundwater out of the pit. An ejector pumps waste from a below-grade bathroom or laundry up to the sewer line, and its pit is sealed and vented. They are not interchangeable.
