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

The short answer

In Burlington, 38% 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.

38% of Burlington housing was built before 1970, when below-grade waterproofing was a different trade with different methods.

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.

Running constantly is a different fault

A pump that cycles every few seconds is usually a float or a check valve, not a failing motor. A pump that never stops is either undersized or sitting in groundwater that has found a new route.

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.
