A Pump That Never Runs Is Not Proof It Works
Sump pumps in Albuquerque sit idle for long stretches, which is precisely the problem. A pump that has not cycled in a year may have a seized impeller or a float stuck against the basin wall, and nobody finds out until the water is already rising.
Testing takes minutes. Where a basement or crawl space genuinely relies on a pump, a battery backup is worth serious consideration — the storms most likely to flood are also the ones most likely to cut power.
- Tested, Not Assumed We cycle the pump under load rather than confirming it has power.
- Backup Options Battery backup for the situation where power and water arrive together.
- Flat-Rate Pricing Flat rate quoted up front.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a sump pump be tested?
At least annually, and before any wet season. Pouring water into the basin to trigger it is the real test.
Do I need a battery backup?
If a failure would flood a finished space, yes. Power cuts and heavy water often arrive together.
How long do sump pumps last?
Commonly seven to ten years, though idle pumps can seize sooner.
Why does mine run constantly?
Usually a stuck float or a failed check valve letting discharged water flow back into the basin.
