Common questions about sump pumps

How much does sump pump service cost in Columbus? +

The cost depends on whether you need a repair, full replacement, or a battery backup addition. You get a written estimate before any work begins.

How long does sump pump installation take? +

A straightforward pump replacement takes one to two hours. A new sump pit installation or adding a battery backup system may take three to four hours.

What warranty do you offer on sump pump work? +

EEvery sump pump installation and repair gets a written one-year warranty. If anything we installed fails within that period, we come back at no charge.

Do you need a permit for sump pump installation in Columbus? +

Most sump pump replacements do not require a permit. New sump pit installations or discharge line rerouting may require one. Bedrock Plumbing & Drain Cleaning pulls all required permits and handles the inspection.

Are your techs licensed and insured? +

Do I need to be home during the installation? +

An adult 18 or older should be present to approve the quote and provide access to the sump pit area. We send photo updates during the work.

Do you offer financing for sump pump work? +

[CONFIRM FINANCING TERMS WITH CLIENT]

Do I really need a battery backup sump pump? +

In Central Ohio, yes. Spring and summer storms knock out power exactly when the water table is highest. A battery backup keeps pumping for 8 to 12 hours during an outage, which is often the difference between a dry basement and a flooded one.

How often should I test my sump pump? +

Test it every three months by pouring a bucket of water into the pit. The float should rise, the pump should activate within seconds, and water should discharge away from your foundation. Test more frequently in spring before the thaw.

What size sump pump do I need for my basement? +

Most residential basements in Columbus need a 1/3 HP or 1/2 HP primary pump. Homes with high water tables, large basements, or long discharge runs may need a 3/4 HP pump. We size the pump based on your specific water volume and pit depth.
