716 Sump Pumps & Backup in Buffalo & Western New York
A sump pump is the last line of defense for most WNY basements with interior drainage. Contractors and plumbers install new pits and pumps, replace failed pumps, add battery or water-powered backups, and reroute discharge lines so water does not cycle back toward the foundation.
What to know in WNY
Power outages from wind storms and heavy snow are when pumps are needed most and are most likely to fail. A battery backup or water-powered backup, plus a discharge line that is protected from freezing, are worth discussing for any home that relies on a pump.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a sump pump last?
It depends on the pump and how often it runs. Pumps in wet basements that cycle frequently wear out sooner. Test yours every few months by pouring water into the pit.
Do I need a backup pump?
If your basement takes water whenever the pump stops, a backup is cheap insurance against an outage or a stuck float switch.
Why does my sump pump run constantly?
See our guide to a sump pump running constantly for the usual causes, from a high water table to a stuck switch or a missing check valve.
