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

The short answer

In Meriden, 60% 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.

Two things decide whether a sump pump saves a basement. 60% of Meriden homes were built before 1970, which bears on both.

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 Meriden, CT

Meriden is in South Central Connecticut Plan County, Connecticut. It covers 2 ZIP codes: 06450, 06451. We route sump pump repair calls from every one of them.

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.

What happens when the power goes

The storm that floods a basement is the storm that takes the power out. A battery backup or a water-powered secondary is the only part of this that works without a grid.
