Free to homeowners in La Jolla — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.

The short answer

In La Jolla, 37% of housing predates 1970. A sump pump that cycles every few seconds is usually a float or a check valve rather than a failing motor, and where the discharge may go is set by the municipality.

Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey, table B25034, five-year estimates. A margin of error is published alongside every estimate.

37% of the housing in La Jolla went up before 1970. Where the discharge is allowed to go is set by the municipality, not by a plumber.

What this site is

Pit and Pump is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and a discharge connection is usually a permitted alteration — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work, we sell no equipment, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

Sump Pump Repair coverage in La Jolla, CA

La Jolla is in San Diego County, California. It covers 5 ZIP codes: 92037, 92038, 92039, 92092, 92093. We route sump pump repair calls from every one of them.

Where the discharge is allowed to go

Into a storm system, onto grade, or into a dry well — and which of those is permitted is set by the municipality, not by the plumber. Connecting a sump to the sanitary sewer is prohibited almost everywhere.

The one-minute test

Pour a bucket of water into the pit and watch. The pump should start, clear the pit and stop cleanly. FEMA publishes a nine-step annual service built around exactly that.
