When it matters
Our sump pump repair coverage in North Carolina runs to 628 ZIP codes in 343 cities. A state with both built storm systems and open ground produces two different kinds of pump failure, and which one a house is exposed to is decided by what is under the basement floor rather than by the weather.

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.Checking a credential in North Carolina
North Carolina licenses are issued by the North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Contractors, which publishes a public search you can use before work begins.

What that coverage looks like
Of the 628 ZIP codes we cover in North Carolina, 82 are in Mecklenburg County and 73 in Charlotte. Storms do not respect that distribution: a single night's rain across 60 counties produces far more pump calls than any contractor can answer at once, which is the argument for testing yours in the dry.
How a sump pump repair job goes
A sump pump is tested by filling the pit, not by listening to it. The float has to lift, the pump has to start, the check valve has to hold and the discharge has to run clear of the house. Any of those four can fail silently and none of them announces itself until the night the pump is needed.
What the call asks about sump pump repair
- Whether the pump runs at all when the float is lifted by hand.
- Where the discharge goes, and whether it is frozen, blocked or running back into the pit.
- Whether there is a battery backup, and when it was last tested.
