Good To Know

Sump pump FAQs

How do I know if my sump pump is failing?
Warning signs include the pump running constantly, cycling on and off rapidly, strange noises, visible rust, or water sitting in the pit when it should be pumping out. If you notice any of these before a storm, call Watson's at (212) 368-3434 to check it.
How often should a sump pump be replaced?
Most sump pumps last around 7–10 years. If yours is near that age, has failed before, or struggled in the last heavy rain, it's worth replacing before it leaves your basement unprotected.
Do you install battery backup sump pumps?
Yes. A battery backup keeps your basement protected during power outages — exactly when storms tend to knock out the grid. Our licensed master plumbers install and service backups across Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens.
Should I test my sump pump before storm season?
Absolutely. Pouring a bucket of water into the pit to confirm the pump kicks on is a simple check. If it doesn't run or sounds off, have it serviced before the next big rain rather than after the basement floods.
