Sump Pump Repair in Chester, South Carolina 29706
Free to homeowners in Chester — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Chester, 44% 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. 44% of Chester 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.Chester in numbers

Where the discharge is allowed to go
