Don't Let a Failed Sump Pump Flood Your Basement

If you have a basement in Reading, you probably have a sump pump -- or you need one. Berks County gets plenty of rain, and groundwater doesn't care about your finished basement or your stored belongings. At JB Plumbing HVAC, we install, repair, and replace sump pumps to keep your home dry. We've been doing this since 2011 and we know what works in this area.

Our Sump Pump Services

Sump Pump Installation

Whether you're building a new sump pit or replacing an old system, we install reliable sump pumps sized for your home's needs. We make sure the discharge line is properly routed away from your foundation so the water doesn't just cycle back in.

Sump Pump Repair

Pump not turning on? Running constantly? Making noise? We diagnose and repair all brands of sump pumps. Common issues include stuck float switches, burned-out motors, and clogged intake screens.

Sump Pump Replacement

Sump pumps don't last forever -- most last 7-10 years. If yours is old or failing, we'll replace it with a new, reliable unit. We handle the removal and disposal of your old pump.

Battery Backup Systems

Your sump pump runs on electricity. When the power goes out during a storm -- exactly when you need it most -- your pump stops working. A battery backup system kicks in automatically during a power outage and keeps pumping water out of your basement. We strongly recommend backup systems for every home with a sump pump.

Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Attention

  • It's running constantly -- the float switch might be stuck or the pump is undersized
  • Strange noises -- grinding or rattling means something is wearing out
  • It won't turn on -- could be electrical, the switch, or the motor
  • Visible rust or corrosion -- your pump is aging out
  • Water in your basement -- the most obvious sign something is wrong
  • It's more than 7-10 years old -- time to think about replacement before it fails

Don't wait for your basement to flood. If your sump pump is acting up, making noise, or hasn't been tested in a while, give us a call. A quick inspection now can save you thousands in water damage later. And if you don't have a battery backup, this is the time to add one -- before the next big storm.
