What it usually is
Common causes are a stuck float switch, a clogged intake or a pump that has simply worn out. There is no posted flat rate for sump pumps yet, so we quote the job first.
What to do first
Check that the pump is plugged in and the breaker has not tripped. If water is rising, move belongings up off the floor and call or text us.
The flat rate that covers it
- Diagnosis / service call (plumbing or electrical): $79
- Anything else: $90/hr
Puyallup is a valley city with an older downtown, mid-century neighborhoods and a lot of newer subdivisions climbing the hills. In Puyallup you often see a mix of older and newer houses on the same street, and the age of the house usually predicts what plumbing is inside it.
