A sump pump is the last line of defense against basement flooding, and one that needs to be working correctly before the storm arrives, not during it. Our handyman plumbing specialists install and replace sump pumps in existing pits, connect the discharge line, and test operation so homeowners have confidence the pump will run when it needs to.
Sump pump replacement is one of the most straightforward handyman plumbing jobs, the pit is already there, the discharge line is in place, and the replacement involves removing the old pump, installing the new one, reconnecting the discharge, and testing the float switch cycle. The critical steps are correct discharge line reconnection with a check valve to prevent backflow and a full float cycle test before the job is signed off. Kaminskiy Care and Repair’s handyman plumbing technicians handle sump pump replacements efficiently and completely, including battery backup installation for homeowners who want protection during power outages. New pit excavation and drainage system installation require a licensed plumber or waterproofing contractor. A working sump pump is a call away.
A sump pump installed without a check valve on the discharge line will drain back into the pit when the pump shuts off, causing the pump to short-cycle and wear out prematurely. Our handyman plumbing crews install or verify the check valve on every sump pump job.
Every sump pump installation includes a check valve on the discharge line, the component that prevents backflow and short-cycling.
We fill the pit with water and confirm the float triggers correctly and the pump runs and shuts off at the right levels before leaving.
We install combination primary and battery backup systems for homeowners who need protection during power outages, when heavy rain and power failures often coincide.
We stand behind our sump pump installation and replacement workmanship.
BEFORE
AFTERReplacing a failed or aging sump pump in an existing pit, old pump removed, new submersible pump installed, discharge line reconnected with check valve, and float cycle tested.
Battery backup units installed alongside or in place of the primary pump, providing flood protection during power outages, the scenario where basement flooding is most likely.
Sump pumps that run continuously, will not start, or short-cycle often have a failed float switch rather than a failed pump motor. We diagnose and replace the float switch or other serviceable components before recommending a full replacement.

Dripping faucets, running toilets, slow drains, worn disposals and tired fixtures make up most of a home plumbing list. They are quick, satisfying fixes for a technician who does them every week, and most are finished in one visit.
A toilet that runs is pouring clean water down the drain around the clock, and it is usually a worn flapper or fill valve. It is one of the fastest paybacks in home repair: a small part, a short visit, and the water bill goes back to normal.
Sewer mains, slab leaks, water heaters and gas lines belong with dedicated licensed plumbing contractors, and we say so honestly. Everything at the fixture level is ours. You get a straight answer about which is which, free, on the first call.
Find your main water shutoff and the small valves under sinks and behind toilets before you need them. When something lets go, closing a valve in the first minute is the difference between a mop and a drywall repair. Then call us. We answer fast.
