Primary Sump Pump
Review accessible pump operation, installation condition, capacity considerations, and replacement needs.

Keep collected water moving away from the places it can cause damage.
A sump pump is one part of a larger water-routing system. The pit, pump, power, backup, check valve, discharge line, exterior outlet, and drainage feeding the system all affect performance.
System thinking
Reliable drainage depends on collection, capacity, power, and discharge.
A pump that runs constantly, cycles rapidly, makes new noises, loses power, or discharges too close to the foundation deserves attention. Surface water and roof runoff can also overwhelm a system that appears adequate in normal weather.
Our service review evaluates accessible components and surrounding water-routing conditions, then defines whether maintenance, repair, replacement, backup, monitoring, or broader drainage work should be considered.

Basement & flood FAQs
Questions to answer before the work begins.
How often should a sump pump be tested?
Test and maintenance frequency should follow the manufacturer's instructions and property conditions. Many owners check before wet seasons and after outages or unusual cycling, but the right schedule varies.
Do I need a battery backup sump pump?
A backup can reduce risk during outages or primary-pump problems, but selection depends on expected inflow, outage duration, maintenance, available space, and the overall drainage system.
Does homeowners insurance cover basement water damage?
Coverage depends on the policy, the cause of loss, exclusions, deductibles, and the insurer's decision. The Roof Concierge can document visible conditions and completed work but does not determine coverage or guarantee claim approval.
Do you provide free estimates or inspections?
Estimate and assessment terms depend on the requested service. A basic sales visit does not automatically include testing, engineering, environmental assessment, or a detailed diagnostic report. Any billable assessment is explained before it begins.
Do you handle mold, sewage, or structural foundation repairs?
Those conditions can require specialized contractors, testing, engineering, permits, or safety protocols. Project fit and any needed specialist referrals are confirmed before work is accepted.
