Sump Pump Installation & Maintenance in Southeast Michigan

Your sump pump is one of the most important defenses against basement water. If it fails during heavy rain or a power outage, water can quickly become your problem.

Basements Plus installs, repairs and maintains sump pump systems, including battery backup options, to help keep water moving out when your basement needs it most.

Why Choose Us

A Sump Pump is Only Part of the System.

Over the last 20 years, serving Southeast Michigan, we've learned that no two basements or sump pump needs are the same. That's why we take the time to inspect your home thoroughly, so your system is built for how your specific basement handles water, not a one-size-fits-all fix.

Signs Your Sump Pump System Needs Attention

Your sump pump may show warning signs before it fails. Knowing what to look for can help you catch a problem before the next heavy rain or power outage.

You don't have a sump pump

If water collects around your foundation or enters your basement, a properly designed sump pump system can help move that water out and away from your home. 

Visible rust or build up

Rust, mineral deposits or iron ochre buildup can interfere with sump pump components and drainage. Regular inspection and maintenance can help catch problems before they affect performance. 

Unusual noises

Grinding, rattling, humming or other new noises can signal a mechanical problem, debris in the system or a pump that is struggling to operate properly.

Constantly running or Cycles Frequently

A pump that runs constantly or turns on and off frequently may be undersized, improperly adjusted or dealing with more water than the system can handle.

Water in the basement

Water in your basement can mean the sump pump system is not keeping up, has failed or that water is entering from another source. The first step is finding out where the water is coming from. 

No battery backup

Your primary sump pump cannot run during a power outage unless you have backup power. A battery backup pump provides added protection when storms and outages happen at the same time.

How Much Does Sump Pump Installation Cost?

Most sump pump installations start between $2,000–$4,000. We carry a range of systems depending on what your home actually needs: a Battery Backup for peace of mind during power outages, a TripleSafe system for extra redundancy, or an UltraSump for higher-capacity pumping.

But sump pump solutions aren't one-size-fits-all. The cause, severity and what's driving the water in your basement are unique to your home. The only way to get a real number is to have a specialist take a look and tell you what's actually going on.
