A sump pump that quits on you doesn't send a warning email. It just stops, usually during the worst storm of the year, and your basement pays for it. If your pump is old, noisy, or you're building a new system into your home, Flowmaster Plumbing installs and repairs sump pumps for homeowners throughout Coon Rapids and the surrounding area.

Most sump pump failures give off warning signs before the pump actually dies. Watch for:
If any of that sounds familiar, don't wait for the next big rain to find out the hard way. A failed pump during a heavy storm can mean a flooded basement, damaged flooring, and a scramble to find a plumber at 2 a.m.
Minnesota basements deal with two distinct flood risk windows every year. The first is spring thaw, when a fast snowmelt hits ground that's still frozen or already saturated and has nowhere to go but toward your foundation. The second is summer thunderstorm season, when a few inches of rain can fall in an hour. Both put direct pressure on your sump system right when you need it working. A pump that's been coasting along fine all winter can get overwhelmed the first time it's actually tested. That's why we don't just sell a pump and walk away — we size it for what your property actually needs and test the whole system before we leave.
Here's the failure mode nobody thinks about until it happens: the power goes out during a storm, which is exactly when your sump pump needs to be running. A standard pump is useless without electricity. A battery backup system kicks in automatically when the power drops, keeping water moving out of your pit for hours during an outage. If your home has flooded before, or your basement is finished, a backup system isn't a luxury add-on. It's the difference between a wet floor and a five-figure repair bill. We install and service backup systems alongside primary pumps or as an addition to an existing setup.
If a failing pump has already led to water in your basement, our Emergency Plumbing page covers what to do next. And if the flooding brought sewage or drain backup issues with it, take a look at our Drain Cleaning page as well.

Cost depends on whether it's a new install, a replacement into an existing pit, or includes a battery backup system. We give you an exact price after inspecting your setup, before any work starts.
Test it at least twice a year, once before spring thaw and once before summer storm season, by pouring water into the pit and confirming the pump activates and drains properly.
If your home has flooded during a power outage before, or your basement is finished, yes. A backup system keeps the pump running when the power goes out, which is often exactly when you need it most.
Most replacements are completed in a single visit, usually a few hours depending on the condition of the existing pit and discharge line.
A pedestal pump has the motor mounted above the pit, making it easier to service. A submersible pump sits inside the pit and runs quieter. We'll recommend the right fit based on your pit size and household needs.
