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.

Grand Rapids 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.

Does Grand Rapids Make Owners Disconnect Footing Drains From the Sanitary Sewer?
In targeted neighborhoods, yes. The Footing Drain Disconnection Program gives owners 90 days after notice and covers reasonable costs up to $4,500, including a sump pump and a backup pump; owners who keep footing drains on the sanitary sewer pay a monthly non-participation charge.
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.
