We size every sump pump to your basin, discharge distance, and Union, OR water table, not a generic off-the-shelf number.

An oversized or undersized sump pump both cause problems down the line — short-cycling, premature motor failure, or simply not keeping up during a real storm. We calculate GPH capacity against your basin's actual inflow rather than reaching for a default size.
We check discharge line routing and check valve placement as part of every install, not just the pump itself.
A failed sump pump during active weather gets priority dispatch across our Union, OR coverage area.
Battery backup add-ons are priced separately and clearly, so you can decide what fits your budget.
Oversized or undersized pumps both cause problems — sizing it correctly the first time avoids premature failure.

Every Union, OR Sump Pump Installation job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
We install submersible pumps rated for continuous duty, not the lighter-duty units sold for occasional use.
A battery backup pump kicks in automatically if the power goes out during a storm — exactly when you need it most.
For homes with municipal water pressure, a water-powered backup pump runs without any battery at all, using house water pressure to move basement water out.
A missing or failed check valve lets pumped water flow back into the basin, making your pump work twice as hard for the same result.
An undersized basin cycles the pump too frequently, shortening its lifespan — we resize basins when the existing one isn't keeping up.

Tell us your pump's age, symptoms, and whether it failed or you're installing new — that shapes what we bring on the visit.
We also check the discharge line route and check valve condition as part of the same visit.
You'll see the recommended pump horsepower, basin size, and any backup options broken out with pricing.
We test the new pump under load, including a simulated power outage if a backup system is installed, before we leave.

"Our old sump pump died during the biggest storm of the year and we got water in the finished basement. They replaced it with a battery backup system the same afternoon."
— Union Customer
"Basin was way too small for how much water we get — they resized it and the pump finally keeps up."
— Union Homeowner
"Appreciated that they actually tested the backup battery under a simulated outage before leaving."
— Union Customer
"Explained the GPH rating and why our old pump was undersized for our basin — made total sense once they laid it out."
— Union Homeowner
We measure inflow during inspection and recommend a pump rated in gallons per hour to match it.
We can walk through battery versus water-powered backup options based on your home's setup.
We can test an existing pump's condition during an inspection rather than assuming it needs replacement.
If a specialty basin or pump size is needed, we'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
A primary pump runs on household power and handles day-to-day drainage; a backup pump activates during a power outage or primary pump failure.
Yes, every installation comes with a written warranty on both the pump and the installation labor.
