When the Sump Pump Stops
The pump goes quiet
A float sticks, a motor burns out, or the storm takes the power.
The pit overflows
Groundwater spills across the floor, into carpet, drywall and stored boxes.
One stuck part, one ruined basement
No household or business deserves to lose a finished basement to one stuck float switch.

Request Sump Pump ServiceBack to Normal in Caledonia
Caledonia homeowners and business owners get a pit that drains, a check valve that holds and a backup that carries the system through the next power outage. A pump inside InterNACHI's 7-year service life, pour-tested once a year, meets the spring thaw running.
Every hour a dead pump sits, the pit rises closer to the basement floor.

Can a Caledonia Lakefront Home Pump Footing Drain Water Into the Lake?
No. Section 3.52 of Caledonia Charter Township's zoning ordinance bars footing drains and other subsoil drainage systems from emptying directly into any lake, stream, river or other watercourse. Where storm sewer exists, Sec. 3.07 requires a sump pump-check valve connection to it.
What Does the Sump Pump Repair Process Involve?
The process starts with a call or form request to the 24/7 line. On site, the plumber checks power to the pump, then pour-tests the pit: the float lifts, the pump starts, the pit empties and the check valve holds. The plumber inspects the impeller, intake screen and discharge line, and explains the repair or replacement before starting. Replacements cover the pump, check valve and a battery or water-powered backup where the owner chooses one; a water-powered backup includes the backflow device the Grand Rapids Water System specifies. Grand Rapids Michigan Plumber pulls permits where the city requires them, such as for sumps and storm lateral connections inside Grand Rapids.
