Sump Pump Service IN CHATTANOOGA & NORTH GEORGIA
Keep Water Out of Your Basement and Crawlspace
A sump pump sits in a pit at the lowest point of a basement or crawlspace and pumps groundwater out before it can rise into your home. In areas with heavy rain, sloped lots and clay soils that drain slowly, which describes much of the Chattanooga region, a working sump pump can be the difference between a dry basement and thousands of dollars in water damage.
Sump pumps tend to fail at the worst moment: during a storm, often during a power outage. Stuck float switches, failed check valves and worn motors are the most common problems.
Metro repairs and replaces sump pumps, installs new pits and pumps where there’s a water problem, and adds battery backups and high-water alarms so you’re protected even when the power goes out.

Signs You Need Sump Pump Service
Pump Runs Constantly
A pump that cycles on and off with no rain may have a stuck float or failed check valve.
Pump Won't Turn On
If water rises in the pit and the pump doesn't kick on, it needs attention before the next storm.
Strange Noises
Grinding, rattling or loud humming often means a failing motor or debris in the impeller.
Water in the Basement After Rain
Damp walls, a musty smell or standing water after rain mean water is getting past your current setup.
Pump Is 7 or More Years Old
Sump pumps commonly wear out in under a decade. Replacing on your schedule beats an emergency.
No Battery Backup
Without a backup, a power outage during a storm leaves your home unprotected.

TRANSPARENT, UPFRONT PRICING
What Affects the Cost of Sump Pump Service?
Sump pump costs depend on whether you need a repair, a replacement pump or a new installation. New installs that require digging a sump pit, running a discharge line outside and adding an electrical outlet cost more than swapping a failed pump in an existing pit. Pump type, horsepower and adding a battery backup or alarm are other factors.
We look at your basement or crawlspace, explain what’s needed and give you an upfront price before we start.
You always get the price before any work begins. Financing is available for qualified customers on larger jobs.
EXPERT TIP FROM METRO’S MASTER-CERTIFIED TEAM
Bucket-Test It Twice a Year
Every spring and fall, slowly pour a five-gallon bucket of water into the sump pit and watch the pump cycle. Also check that the discharge line outside isn't blocked by leaves or buried by landscaping, since a blocked outlet can make a good pump fail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Our team is happy to help, day or night.
How Long Does a Sump Pump Last?
Many sump pumps last around 7 to 10 years, depending on how often they run and the quality of the pump. Testing it before the rainy season is the best way to avoid surprises.
How Do I Test My Sump Pump?
Pour a bucket of water into the pit. The float should rise, the pump should start and the water should drain quickly. If it doesn't, call us.
Do I Need a Battery Backup?
Storms that bring heavy rain also knock out power. A battery backup keeps the pump running during an outage, exactly when you need it most.
Can You Install a Sump Pump Where There isn't One?
Yes. We install sump pits and pumps in basements and crawlspaces, including the discharge line and check valve.
Why Does My Sump Pump Keep Running or won't Turn On?
Common causes are a stuck float switch, a failed check valve, a clogged intake or a pump that's simply worn out.
Do You Offer Emergency Sump Pump Service?
Yes. If your basement is flooding, call us at (423) 250-9376. Our team is available 24/7.
