Overview
Your basement’s last line of defense
A sump pump sits in a pit at the lowest point of the basement or crawl space and pumps groundwater away before it reaches your floor. Newer homes often have one built in; many older homes have had one retrofitted.
Like any pump, they wear out — and they tend to fail when they’re needed most. KBD provides sump pump repair in Westchester homes, along with routine maintenance and replacement.

Good to know
Signs your sump pump needs attention
- It runs constantly, or never seems to run
- Grinding or rattling noises
- Visible rust or corrosion
- Water in the basement after rain
- It’s several years old and has never been serviced
Test it before storm season
Slowly pour a bucket of water into the sump pit. The float should rise and the pump should start and clear the water. If it doesn’t, call us.

Questions
Sump pumps: common questions
Still not sure? Phone us — asking costs nothing.
What does a sump pump do?
It collects water that gathers in a pit at the lowest point of your basement and pumps it away from the house, preventing flooding.
How do I know my sump pump works?
Pour water into the pit until the float rises. The pump should switch on and empty the pit. If it doesn’t, it needs attention.
My basement is flooding right now — what should I do?
Stay out of the water because of the electrical risk, and call us for emergency sump pump repair in Westchester.
