Most sump pumps installed by builders are cheap plastic units that can’t handle Plymouth County’s challenging conditions. If you’re getting any basement water during storms, your pump is either failing, undersized, or lacks proper backup power.
We replace sump pump systems in Plymouth County, MA with heavy-duty cast-iron pumps that move 2,500-4,500 gallons per hour. These industrial-grade pumps handle the high water volumes that overwhelm cheaper units, and our battery backup systems keep working for hours during power outages.
You get the protection your basement actually needs, not just the minimum that passes inspection.
Our basement water pump installation in Plymouth County includes everything needed for reliable protection. We excavate the proper sump pit at your basement’s lowest point, install a sealed liner system, and connect discharge lines that move water at least 10 feet from your foundation.
Every installation includes GFCI electrical protection, automatic pump activation, sealed pit covers to prevent odors, and comprehensive testing before we leave. Our battery backup systems automatically switch on during power failures and can pump over 11,000 gallons on a single charge.
You get a complete system that works exactly when you need it most – during the worst storms.

Professional sump pump installation in Plymouth County, MA typically costs between $1,200-$3,500 depending on your basement’s conditions and the backup systems you need. This includes excavation, high-quality cast-iron pump, battery backup, proper discharge lines, and complete testing. While this might seem like a significant investment, it’s much less than the $11,000 average cost of water damage cleanup. We provide upfront pricing before starting work and offer financing options to fit your budget. Most installations pay for themselves by preventing just one basement flooding incident.
Absolutely yes – battery backup is essential in Massachusetts because the storms that cause basement flooding are the same storms that knock out power. Your sump pump stops working exactly when you need it most. Our battery backup systems automatically kick in during power outages and can pump over 11,000 gallons on a fully charged battery. This gives you hours of protection during extended outages that commonly happen during nor’easters and severe thunderstorms. Without backup power, even the best sump pump becomes useless when the lights go out.
Most sump pump installations in Plymouth County take 4-6 hours from start to finish, including excavation, installation, and testing. We arrive with fully stocked trucks and complete most jobs in a single visit. If your basement has thick concrete or requires additional drainage work, we’ll explain any extra time needed upfront. Our goal is getting your protection working as quickly as possible while doing the job right. We don’t rush installations because proper setup is critical for reliable operation during storms.
Most basements in Plymouth County need pumps that can handle 2,500-4,500 gallons per hour, but the right size depends on your basement’s square footage, local water table, and how much water your drainage system collects. We use laser levels to find your basement’s lowest point and calculate pump capacity based on your specific conditions. Undersized pumps get overwhelmed during heavy rains and fail when you need them most. Oversized pumps cycle on and off too frequently and burn out faster. We size every pump correctly for your basement’s actual needs.
Test your sump pump monthly by pouring water into the pit to make sure it turns on automatically. Professional maintenance should happen annually to clean the pit, test all components, check battery backup systems, and replace worn parts before they fail. We offer annual maintenance service that includes complete system inspection, cleaning, testing, and any needed adjustments. Regular maintenance prevents emergency failures during storms and extends your pump’s life significantly. Most pump failures happen because of lack of maintenance, not equipment defects.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies don’t cover preventive sump pump installation, but they do cover water damage if your existing pump fails. However, having a professionally installed system often qualifies you for insurance discounts and protects against the average $11,000 water damage claim. Some insurers offer premium reductions for homes with quality sump pump systems. We provide documentation of your installation for insurance purposes and can help you understand coverage options. The installation cost is minimal compared to potential flood damage expenses that insurance might not fully cover.
