Sump Pump Repair & Installation

Q: What does a sump pump do and why is it important?

A sump pump removes excess water from your basement or crawl space and protects your home from flooding during heavy rain or rising groundwater. Without a working pump, water can collect quickly and cause structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs. These systems help keep your foundation dry during storms and periods of high soil saturation. Homeowners in North Texas rely on sump pumps because of sudden weather shifts and seasonal flooding risks.

Q: How do I know if my sump pump needs repair or replacement?

Common signs include loud noises, frequent cycling, slow pumping, visible rust, or a pump that will not turn on at all. If the unit struggles to remove water or fails during a storm, it may indicate worn internal components or electrical problems. Aging pumps typically require replacement after ten years of consistent use. Our team inspects the system, identifies the root cause, and recommends whether a repair or full replacement is the safest solution.

Q: What types of sump pumps do you install and service?

We work with both pedestal and submersible sump pump systems. Submersible units are placed inside the sump pit and offer quiet, powerful performance, while pedestal models sit above the pit and are easier to service. Our plumbers help you choose the right system based on your basement size, water volume, and soil conditions. Every unit is installed with proper plumbing, electrical connections, and drainage support for dependable operation.

Q: How often should a sump pump be maintained?

Regular maintenance is recommended at least once a year, and ideally before storm season. Maintenance includes cleaning the pit, checking float switches, testing electrical components, clearing drain lines, and verifying full pumping performance. Routine servicing helps catch issues early and reduces the risk of sudden failure during heavy rainfall. A properly maintained pump lasts longer and provides consistent protection throughout the year.

Q: Do you offer emergency sump pump repairs?

Yes. If your sump pump fails during a storm or stops working when water begins to rise, our team provides fast scheduling to restore protection quickly. Sudden failures can cause immediate damage, so prompt service is essential. We diagnose the issue, replace faulty components, and test the system before completing the job. Our priority is to prevent basement flooding and keep your home safe.

Get the water out before it gets in.

A sump pump that quits usually does it during the worst storm of the year. CR Plumbing repairs, replaces and installs sump pumps for homes across DFW, including crawl spaces, garage pits and the outdoor drainage systems a lot of North Texas yards depend on. You’ll get a licensed plumber, a straight answer on whether to fix or replace, and a price before we start.

Licensed Professionals Only

A licensed plumber handles every sump pump job, and the work is done to Texas plumbing code.

Dry Crawl Spaces and Yards

Water that sits under a house or against the foundation causes damage you don't see until it's expensive. We get it out and keep it moving.

Fast Turnaround

A pump that's stopped working can't wait a week. We'll try to get out the same day or the next.

Sized to Last

We match the pump to your pit and your water flow. An undersized pump runs constantly and wears out early.

Sump Pump Services for North Texas Homes

Most DFW homes sit on a slab, so full basements are the exception here. That doesn’t mean water isn’t a problem. Our clay soil doesn’t soak up rain. It sheds it, and the water collects in low spots: under pier-and-beam floors, in garage pits and against foundation walls. A sump pump gives that water somewhere to go.

It’s simple in principle. Water drains into a pit, a float rises, and the pump pushes it out through a discharge line and away from the house. When that works, you forget it’s there. When it doesn’t, you find out with a wet crawl space, a musty smell or a foundation that’s taking on water.

Most of the calls we get are repairs. A float switch gets stuck. A motor burns out. A check valve fails and the water the pump just moved drains right back into the pit. Or the discharge line freezes, cracks or clogs. We’ll find what’s wrong, fix it if it’s worth fixing and replace the pump if it isn’t. You’ll hear which one it is before we start.

We also install new sump pumps and outdoor drainage pumps, and we work with the rest of your plumbing, from water lines to the sewer line. Sump pump work is one part of the wider plumbing services we offer across DFW.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a sump pump do and why is it important?

It sits in a pit at the lowest spot where water collects. When the water rises, a float switch turns the pump on and it pushes the water out through a discharge line. Here in North Texas that mostly means protecting crawl spaces and foundations, because our clay soil holds rainwater instead of draining it.

How do I know if my sump pump needs repair or replacement?

Watch for a pump that runs constantly, won’t turn on, makes loud grinding or rattling noises, or leaves the pit full after a storm. Quick test: pour a bucket of water into the pit. If the pump doesn’t kick on, give us a call. Most pumps last around 7 to 10 years, so an older one with any of these problems is often cheaper to replace than repair.

What types of sump pumps do you install and service?

Submersible pumps, which sit inside the pit and run quieter, and pedestal pumps, which sit above the pit and are easier to get to. We also install battery backup pumps that keep going when the power’s out, and outdoor pumps for yards and low spots that flood.

How often should a sump pump be maintained?

Once a year, ideally before spring storm season. In between, test it yourself every few months with a bucket of water. Takes about a minute.

Do you offer emergency sump pump repairs?

Yes. If your pump quit and the water’s rising, call (940) 370-5663 and we’ll get someone out as fast as we can.

What areas do you serve for sump pump installation and repairs?

Argyle, Flower Mound, Denton, Fort Worth, Lewisville, Carrollton, Coppell, The Colony, Grapevine, Irving, Grand Prairie, Southlake, North Richland Hills and the towns around them.

Do I need a sump pump if my house doesn't have a basement?

Maybe. Plenty of DFW homes without basements still use one. If water pools in your crawl space, collects against the foundation, or turns part of the yard into a pond every time it rains, a crawl space or outdoor sump pump can fix that. We’ll come look and tell you honestly whether you need one.
