Professional Sump Pump Services in Lawrence & Kansas City Metro Areas

Fitzpatrick Plumbing repairs and replaces sump pumps in existing residential and light commercial sump systems. We troubleshoot common sump pump problems, replace failed pumps and components, and can install or replace battery backup and secondary pumps when the existing system can accommodate them.

Signs of a sump pump problem can include a pump that won't turn on, runs continuously, cycles frequently, makes unusual noises, or runs without properly removing water. Problems with the float switch, check valve, motor, or other components can also prevent the system from working correctly. We'll diagnose the problem and determine whether repairing the existing pump or replacing it makes more sense.

A failed sump pump during heavy rain should be addressed quickly, especially if water is beginning to enter your basement or lower level. Call Fitzpatrick Plumbing as soon as possible. Sump pump failures that put your property at risk of water damage are placed on our priority list, and we work to provide same-day service whenever availability allows during our regular business hours.

Check that your sump pump has power and that the pump activates when the water level in the sump pit rises. You can periodically test an existing system by carefully adding water to the pit and confirming that the float activates the pump and the water is removed. If the pump doesn't activate, won't shut off, sounds unusual, or doesn't remove water properly, it may need service. We can also check the operation of your sump pump while we're at your property for another plumbing service.

A battery backup can be especially valuable if you have a finished basement, have experienced water intrusion before, experience power outages, or could face significant damage if your primary sump pump stopped working. A backup system provides another layer of protection if the primary pump fails or loses power. We can evaluate an existing sump pump setup and determine whether adding or replacing a backup pump makes sense.

Yes. Fitzpatrick Plumbing can troubleshoot common sump pump problems including pumps that won't start, won't shut off, run continuously, cycle frequently, make unusual noises, or aren't removing water properly. Depending on the cause, the problem may involve the pump itself, float switch, check valve, power supply, or another component of the existing sump pump system.

We currently focus on repairing and replacing pumps within existing sump pump systems rather than installing complete new sump systems or sump pits. We also don't perform exterior drainage or excavation work. If you already have a sump system, we can repair or replace the primary pump and can work with battery backup or secondary pumps when the existing setup allows.

Fitzpatrick Plumbing provides sump pump repair and replacement throughout our service area, including Lawrence, Shawnee, and Overland Park, Kansas, as well as surrounding communities. We service existing sump pump systems in both residential properties and light commercial businesses.
