A One Stop Shop for All Sump Pump Needs

From basic basement installs to complex flood prevention systems, we handle every aspect of sump pump installation. Our goal is to give you peace of mind—even during the heaviest storms.

  • New Sump Pump Installation

    A properly installed sump pump keeps water out of your basement and away from your foundation. We evaluate your home’s layout, drainage patterns, and groundwater risk to determine the best location for your sump basin and pump.

    Our team handles:
    • Cutting and excavating the sump pit
    • Installing the basin and pump
    • Connecting discharge lines
    • Installing a check valve
    • Sealing and finishing the area

    We’ll walk you through everything before and after the job, including how to test and maintain your new system.

  • Sump Pump Replacement

    If your current pump is noisy, unreliable, or just not moving enough water, it may be time for a replacement. We remove the old unit, clean the basin, and install a new high-quality pump sized for your needs.

    Most common reasons for replacement:
    • Unit is over 7-10 years old
    • Motor failure or excessive noise
    • Inadequate pumping capacity
    • Frequent tripping or short-cycling

    We’ll help you choose a durable, efficient pump to give you long-lasting protection.

  • Battery Backup Systems

    A battery backup sump pump can be a lifesaver during power outages. We install secondary pumps powered by deep-cycle batteries that automatically activate when your main system fails.

    This upgrade is ideal for:
    • Homes in flood zones
    • Finished basements
    • Properties with unreliable power

    We can also install alarm systems that notify you when your backup system kicks in or needs service.

  • Discharge Line Setup

    A sump pump is only as good as its discharge system. We’ll design and install a line that moves water away from your home and prevents freezing or backflow.

    We ensure:
    • Correct slope for water flow
    • No discharge near the foundation
    • Freeze-resistant outdoor piping
    • Backflow prevention options if needed

    You’ll get a complete drainage solution—not just a hole with a pump in it.

  • Crawl Space & Compact Sump Systems

    Crawl spaces are often forgotten when it comes to water protection, but they’re just as vulnerable. We install compact sump pump systems that fit into tight, low-clearance spaces and help protect the integrity of your foundation.

    These systems can:
    • Control standing water or damp soil
    • Prevent mold and mildew growth
    • Pair with vapor barriers and drainage tile
    • Keep pests and moisture at bay

    We’ll recommend the best configuration for your specific crawl space needs.

Karen Helsel

We found Crystal Water Plumbing when our well pump stopped working. They came out, diagnosed and gave us an estimate, and then repaired the two-fold problem (both the pressure switch and the pump itself had failed) within the day. They also noticed other items, and quickly addressed all of the issues, and now we have a well that should give us decades of worry-free service.
