NEW HAVEN PLUMBING SERVICE

Sump pump installation and replacement in New Haven, CT

Basement taking water every storm? We install new sump pumps, battery backups and replacements across New Haven and the shoreline towns.

Updated September 2026 · New Haven, CT

Around New Haven, a lot of basements sit close to the water table, and the shoreline towns get it worst. When the pump quits in the middle of a storm, the basement fills fast.

Call and we'll size the right pump for your pit, add a battery backup if the power tends to drop in storms, and route the discharge so the water stays away from the foundation.

Call 203-654-9405 any hour, or request a callback below.

Signs you need sump pump installation

  • The pump hums but no water leaves the pit
  • It runs nonstop, even in dry weather
  • Water in the basement after heavy rain
  • The pump is more than 7 to 10 years old
  • Power outages during storms leave the pump dead

What to do right now

  • Check that the pump is plugged in and the breaker hasn't tripped.
  • Pour a bucket of water into the pit and watch whether the float lifts and the pump kicks on.
  • Clear any debris from around the float.
  • Move anything valuable up off the basement floor.
  • Call us if the pump still won't run or can't keep up.

What it costs

A straight pump swap usually costs far less than a new pit. Battery backups and new discharge lines add to the price. We quote the options side by side before any work starts.

Questions we hear a lot

Do I need a battery backup sump pump?

If you're near the shore or lose power in storms, yes. The pump matters most in exactly the storm that knocks the power out.

How long does a sump pump last?

Most last about 7 to 10 years. Pumps that run constantly near the shore wear out sooner.
